Annual March UK Model Railway Exhibition

March 3, 2007

NOTTINGHAM East Midlands MODEL RAILWAY EXHIBITION will be held on Saturday 17 March 2007 and Sunday 18 March 2007 at Harvey Hadden Sports Complex, Bilborough Park, Wigman Road, Bilborough, Nottingham, NG8 4PB, U.K.

The NOTTINGHAM East Midlands MODEL RAILWAY EXHIBITION is one of the premier model railway events in the UK and, at over 19,000 square feet, it’s now one of the biggest too. Staged each year, over the third weekend in March, by the Nottingham (Bulwell) MRS, at Nottingham’s Harvey Hadden Sports Complex, the event has earned a reputation for both the quality of its exhibits and for being a friendly show.

Typically, there are around thirty layouts, in a variety of scales, gauges, periods and geographical areas; over forty trade exhibitors (mainly specialist suppliers and manufacturers – so it’s just the event for modellers to go to with their shopping lists and to find all those kits, bits, components and materials that they need); plus a whole host of demonstrations. The event is supported by the main scale, gauge and special interest societies: the HMRS, 2mm Assn, EMGS, Scalefour Society, G0G, DEMU, NMRA, and the RCTS.

At the Nottingham East Midlands Model Railway Exhibition there are always several themes running through each year’s Nottinghan train show. This year one of the main themes will be ‘West Coast Wonder’, with several big model railway layouts depicting AC electric action on the West Coast Mainline. A second theme being planned, is ‘Sunny Southern Splendour’, based on layouts portraying the former Southern Region and Southern Railway lines.
