West Sussex N Gauge Model Railway Club is busy preparing for its first exhibition since its great modular show in Shoreham three years ago.

This time, the N Gauge Model Railway Show on Saturday, November 5, will feature more than 12 layouts, including the club's own modular layout, and a club shop.Nigel Appleton, publicity officer, said: "We are holding an exhibition back at Shoreham Baptist Church. Our last event there was in 2019 and we have not held an exhibition since. The layouts attending the show will come from Hampshire, Sussex and Surrey."
