Narrow Gauge NOW 2026
Will be held at Portland College, Mansfield, on Saturday October 31st 2026. We are pleased to present a range of over fifty narrow gauge layouts in a mixture of scale and gauge combinations, along with a good representation of traders supporting our hobby.
The winner of the East Midlands Narrow Gauge Modellers members competition will be announced during the morning of the show, along with presentation of the prize, sponsored by A1 Models. The visitors vote for the "Best in Show" layout will be announced later in the afternoon.
The current (and therefore provisional) listings for layouts and demos, and for the traders are shown below.
