Train exhibition steams in to town

The Luton Model Railway Club’s 0-gauge section will be staging an exhibition on Saturday, April 27.

There will be six 0-gauge layouts (one is pictured) to enjoy, railway historian Geoff Woodward will be present with his photographic display of local railways and there will be traders, together with information stands from preservation societies.

The exhibitionis being held in Dunstable as it’s been some time since one has been held in the town. The show also seeks to encourage members of the public (all ages) to take-up railway modelling, and to remind Dunstablians of their past railway heritage. Today, it is said that Dunstable is one of the largest towns in the South East without a railway connection.

The exhibition takes place between 10.30 am and 5pm and will be opened by the Mayor of Dunstable.

Admission is adults £3, child (under16 yrs) £1.50, family (2 adults + 3 children) £8. Light refreshments are available.
