This weekend (13th & 14th November) it's the annual Tyneside MRE at Gateshead International Stadium, presented by the Newcastle & District Model Railway Society, this year in association with North Eastern Gauge O Modellers (NEGOM). As a result of this, the size of the exhibition is doubled from previous years to 15000 square foot, half of it being exclusively O gauge. Layouts appearing this year include Ferring, Crystal Creek and Iron Mould Lane, and there will of course be all the trade stands, refreshment facilities &c. that you would expect, including a good few specialist O gauge stands in the NEGOM section.
Free parking is available, or, if you are travelling by public transport, the stadium is only a 10 minute walk from Gateshead Stadium station. Admission is £3.50 for adults, £2.00 for Children / OAPs, and the doors open at 10am each day and close at 7pm on Saturday & 5pm Sunday.
