Hucclecote Model Railway Show
At Hucclecote Methodist Church
June 2021
SHOW GUIDE
Welcome to the eleventh model railway show at Hucclecote available on the internet. We are very grateful to eveeryone who has sent us photographs - as always, the success of this show depends on the support of all our friends.
We have working layouts, static displays and supporting stands.
We are sad that you can't visit us in person. We hope you enjoy the photos and videos, and maybe we can do this for real in 2022.
Whenever you've seen enough, look at the leaflet table as you go, and see details of other local clubs and shows.
