Organised by Fund Raising Manor College of
Technology to whom all proceeds after
costs will go.

The event is held within five halls/sports halls and for
possibly the first time in the North East offers an
event within an Exhibition. Model Rail are supporting
a DCC Forum where the leading names in DCC have
agreed to participate; ZTC, DCC Supplies, Bromsgrove
Models and Digitrains. Further traders have yet to
confirm. The DCC event will include talks, demo
layouts and a Chip Fitting/Programming Service(there
will be a charge for this,chips have to be bought at the event).

The Model Rail Exhibition currently has 23 confirmed
layouts in Z,N,OO,HO,HOn3,and O Gauges in
American, British and European practices.

This event is unique in that there is no Model Railway Club
in Hartlepool, there is however a group - Hartlepool
Model Railway Friends see seperate site-.There is no
Model Shop, the nearest being Peterlee or Stockton.

Certain areas of traders are restricted. For example
there are five traders in die cast and railways, no more.
That gives the traders a good chance of recouping
their expenditure in attending, and it gives the Public
a more restricted choice, knowing that the attending
traders are reputable.

Vacancies exist for:
Scenics 2 wanted
Electrics 1 more wanted
Kits 2 wanted
DCC Sound Modules 1 wanted

Paints and the like but not die cast or
model railways 2 wanted

For further details contact the venue and leave
your contacty details for the organiser to
get back to you.

A list of appearing layouts and traders will
appear on this blog in 2007.
