Model railway exhibition pulls in to Harrogate tomorrow
A model railway exhibition is arriving in Harrogate tomorrow, with the organisers hoping it will encourage more people to take up the hobby.
Harrogate Model Railway Group holds meetings twice a week at St Aidan's Church of England High School for rail enthusiasts to share ideas and modelling tips.
Clem Dye, one of about 20 members, said he expected as many as 500 people to attend tomorrow's exhibition, depending on weather conditions. It will be the group's first since covid.
As well as model railways created by members, there will be additional exhibitors there including Wenselydale Railway and Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.
Visitors will also have the chance to browse a number of trade stands.
