Spalding Model Railway Club enjoyed popular exhibition at Springfields

It was a freight weekend at the model railway exhibition that took place at Springfields Events Centre.

Last weekend up to 30 different layouts were featured at the Spalding Model Railway Club event, all built by different individuals and groups from around the country.

All of the models would have taken hundreds and thousands of hours to create and make.

The impressive displays were based of different eras ranging from steam, diesel and electric.

Vice chairman Shaun Barnes said: “It was a good success and exceeded our expectations.”

Due to Covid-19 it was unable to take place for several years however, last weekend the first exhibition since 2019 had a great turnout.

Shaun added: “We had feedback from people saying how much they enjoyed themselves, how pleased they were with the spread of layouts we had and that they would definitely come back again.

“I think people were just pleased to get out and see model trains again.”

Some of the best model railway retailers and parts suppliers also attended the event for visitors to enjoy.

Future exhibition dates are already in the diary - booked for November 4 and 5 2023.
