The exhibition is ‘supported’ by Rainbow Railways – a local Linlithgow based firm, The Junction box from Hexham and Squires Tools from Bognor Regis.

A large number of layouts will be making either their first ever appearance or visiting a Scottish exhibition for the first time. In all, four model layouts are on their first ever outing to a public show.

To assist visitors a vintage bus provided by The Angus Transport Group will operate a shuttle service between Falkirk Grahamston Railway Station and the event at the Grangemouth Sports Stadium. Detailed information on the daily timetable for this service will be published on the Falkirk Model Railways clubs website.
