Good Afternoon Everyone,
A few days have now past since everyone attended and enjoyed Model Rail Crewe 2026 with everyone's daily life activities having resumed.
I would sincerely like to thank everyone that made our 3rd exhibition an absolute success yet again, the assistants and volunteers for helping out behind the scenes throughout the months leading up to and on the day, giving up their time and effort, you all have a much deserved rest.
All the traders, layout exhibitors and demonstrators for being part of another amazing exhibition, it could not happen without YOU,
AND of course to everyone that attended, YOU ALL definitely made it a day to remember.
The Model Rail Crewe team & I would like to dearly thank......
All staff at The Coppenhall Club who were under extreme pressure to provide the food and drink services to all the visitors, traders & exhibitors throughout the day.
D&G Bus for supplying the wonderful bus with 2 delightful drivers to operate the exhibition park & ride shuttle bus service, giving up their own personal time for free.
Richard of Cheshire Fire & Rescue Heritage Team for attending with the incredible Vintage Fire Engine, it sure was a head turner, all the children & BIG kids really enjoyed it.
All who donated to St Luke's Cheshire Hospice either via raffle prizes, raffle tickets or purchasing items from their Charity stand,
and not forgetting anyone/everyone not directly mentioned here, the list is so very long.
But I do have one very special and extremely heart warming thanks to go out to Mark Mc Daid (aka Donagel Dad on YT) for not just volunteering to assist at the exhibition throughout the day but for also going well above & beyond offering to privately transport a very dear visiting railway modeller and his wife home to North Wales.
An update regarding funds raised for St Luke's will be released as soon as the total count as been completed.
Just a quick point towards some negatives brought to light at this years exhibition, we are fully aware of them and have taken everything into account.
We will most definitely be addressing these in due course and deal with them accordingly.
We will from these, aim to improve for 2027, in the words of D:Ream - Things Can Only Get Better!
So it's now time for all the team to take a well deserved rest before getting preparations for Model Rail Crewe 2027 rolling.
We have already (pre 2026 exhibition) had an incredible number of layout, trader and demonstration stand requests to attend in 2027, we will be back in touch very soon.
If YOU are interested then drop us an email of interest to [email protected]
Once again THANK YOU to EVERYONE.
Kindest Regards
Jason - Exhibition Manager.
