The 2023 Uckfield Model Railway Exhibition will once again be featuring a selection of some of the best quality layouts around. There will be full trade support as well as Demonstration and Society stands. Licensed Restaurant within the Civic Centre will be open throughout the weekend. There will be bacon/sausage baps for early arrivals to purchase - from 9am.
This year see the inclusion of Scalefour Southeast, a new Scalefour Society regional event. Featuring the Society's Publicity Stand and the Scalefour Stores, along with five P4 layouts and a full schedule of demonstrations that should appeal to railway modellers of all scales and skills.
As a tribute to the well known railway modeller and author who passed away last year, we will be holding the Iain Rice Extravaganza featuring no less than five 4mm/ft finescale layouts which were constructed by him or in which he was a major contributor.

We also expect to have on display a selection of Iain's North Cornwall stock, built for his layout Tregarrick. This will probably be the only time these layouts will appear together - an opportunity not to be missed.
