Model railway exhibition returns to county
One of the model layouts that will be exhibited
- Published
A model railway exhibition which claims to be the largest independent exhibition of its kind in the country returns to Staffordshire this weekend.
More than 55 layouts will feature and more than 80 model railway retailers, clubs and societies.
Taking place on Saturday and Sunday, Stafford 2025 Model Railway Exhibition, run by volunteers, will be held at Staffordshire County Showground's Bingley Hall on Weston Road, Stafford.
Organised by Stafford Railway Circle, the exhibition is part of the Railway 200 celebrations, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of the modern railway: the opening of the world's first passenger-carrying railway between Stockton and Darlington.
The event will run from 10:00 to 17:00 BST on Saturday and 10:00 to 16:30 BST on Sunday, with a free heritage bus service running to and from Stafford Railway Station on both days.
Stafford Railway Circle was established in 1957 and is a member of the Stafford District Arts Council and the Chiltern Model Railway Association.
