The flagship event of the EM Gauge Society will take place over the weekend of May 10th & 11th 2025 at the now well-established venue of Bracknell Leisure Centre. On display will be twelve finescale layouts representing the best in 4mm modelling. As usual there will be plenty of opportunity to stock up on modelling supplies with a good range of specialist traders in attendance. In addition, there will be a variety of ‘Show you how’ demonstrations and other special interest society stands. There will also be the EM and P4 test track (now with both analog and DCC control), the EMGS trade stand - selling amongst other things, the Society’s range of EM track and points, in addition to the ever-popular members’ second-hand sales.
