Autumn Exhibition 2026

We had a successful show with some of the club and member’s layouts at our Autumn Exhibition at St Peter’s Church Hall, Bushey Mill Lane, on 3rd October.

On show was: –

  • Dudley Frey – ‘N’ gauge ’round’ DC layout with multiple tracks and automatic light signals.
  • Fudge Town – OO gauge late steam era layout with twin loops and multi-level scenics.
  • Thomas Town – a fun OO gauge scene from Sodor inviting kids to have a go at running Thomas and his friends (for a small charity donation)
  • Jurassic Halt – O16.5 and O9 layout featuring the entry to a dinosaur park (with animatronic dinosaur).
  • Lincolnsfield (part) – an ‘N’ gauge layout under construction.
  • Preston’s End – a small ‘N’ gauge layout allowing stock to be run in either DC or DCC modes.
  • Nostalgia – a demonstration of most of the best known historic scale model trains.
  • Fire Creek – US On30 layout on two levels.
  • Allanbrae – an imaginary ‘N’ gauge Scottish scene.

44th Annual Exhibition – Saturday 9th May 2026

 

Nearly 500 visitors with 110 children came to our Exhibition and enjoyed a great selection of model railway scenes ranging from the US outback to Whipsnade Zoo plus a working gravel pit and a dinosaur park. Plenty found exciting models and accessories to buy at our traders’ stands and the Society’s sales and information stands attracted lots of interest.

We are already planning a follow-up in 2027.

There is a fabulous video on YouTube showing all the layouts  – just search for South West Herts MRS online. Some of the exhibits are pictured below.
