The Rainford NG Show on Saturday 17th February 2018 will give you a unique opportunity to view and in some cases help operate layouts of Roger Christian and Stan Williams.

We believe this will be the first time a collection of layouts by two people have been exhibited at the same time in one show.

You will have the chance to see the following,

Tan Yr Allt/Dwffyr Uchaf, Crummack Valley, Rothampton, Loch Ewe, Llanrug, South West Lancs Light Rly.

We will also be supported by a number of friends bringing along their layouts

Sadly on this occasion we can fit in our layout Gairloch & Wester Ross due to space restrictions.

Please come along to Rainford and enjoy the day with us.

A special day unlikely to be repeated.

A big thank you to all who helped making the event into a very successful show.

Lots of money spent, happy traders, happy visitors, good food at very reasonable prices ie bacon toastie and a drink

An outstanding little show and especially the rare opportunity to gather together most of the Roger/Stan layouts that have been built over the years all at the same time as well as the "guest visiting layouts" and the excellent balance of specialist trade support of the relevant kind. I was very pleased that I was able to make the long journey to be there, very well worth the effort. Thanks for organising a great day Stan!
