The final layout lineup and event plans are now finialised for the GCRN Model Rail Event this coming weekend (21+22 Aug).
We have three layouts which have featured in Railway Modeller, as well as a public debut for the US-outline Freemo HO setup.

The event features over 12 layouts (three to have featured in RAILWAY MODELLER), five trade stands, as well as miniature railways and services on the 10-mile line to Loughborough Jct (one of the Traders (Malc's Models), is actually on-train!!).
The event also marks the public debut of a large HO US-outline Free-mo layout (with which I'm involved, so fingers and toes crossed it all goes well!!!)

Entry admission can either include or exclude unlimited travel on the heritage service trains.

Check-out our Special Events page on the GCRN Website for full details, fares and the complete list of layouts and traders.

Train services for the event will operate to Timetable "D" (four return trips to Loughborough).
Diagrammed locos are 47292 (Sat), and D7629 (Sun). The 47 may be replaced at short notice if work on it is not complete on Friday prior to the event itself.
