A model of Rishton Station

The Blackburn and East Lancashire Model Railway Society (BELMRS) is holding its annual Christmas Exhibition and Open Weekend in the Moscow Suite at the Oswaldtwistle Mills Business Centre on Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 7.

There will be a dozen working model railway layouts on display in 0 Gauge, 00, N Gauge and 009 Narrow Gauge, including what will be the last public appearance by the club’s N Gauge working scale model of Rishton station as it was in the 1950s and 1960s, when steam trains were still running on the East Lancashire line between Preston and Colne.
