Presented by Bassetlaw Railway Society, the annual exhibition features more than ten layouts, alongside traders and specialist stands.

with its distant power station.
Society member Phil Lewis, who builds a new layout each year, will also showcase his latest creation, demonstrating what can be achieved even in limited space. With a variety of displays and themes, there will be something to interest everyone. Parking at The Elms is free, and the venue offers full disabled access.
