A club spokesman said: “We are holding the exhibition in Hitchin because it has been some time since one has been held in the town, to encourage people of all ages to take-up railway modelling, and to celebrate that Hitchin was an important railway junction with its own steam locomotive shed.”
The exhibition takes place between 10.30 am and 5pm and will be opened by Peter Lilley, MP for Hitchin and Harpenden.
Admission is adults £4, child (under16 years) £2, family (2 adults+3 children) £10. No concessions available.
