Christchurch Model Railway Exhibition 2025 Part 1

The 2025 Christchurch Model Railway Exhibition, organised by the Christchurch & Kinson MRG, was held over the weekend of 11th/12th October at the Bournemouth School for Girls. I was expecting about 10 or 12 layouts but was pleasantly surprised to see over 20 on display, covering a variety of gauges/scales, eras and locations. Thanks to the organisers and exhibitors.
