Famous Trains Model Railway is hosting a Christmas Special event at their venue in Derby. This festive event will take place over three days from 6th to 8th December 2025.

Visitors can enjoy a range of model railways on display, with a total of seven layouts showcasing a variety of gauges and themes. The event will also feature a Hornby-Dublo tabletop railway, offering a nostalgic look at classic model trains.

The main attraction is the OO-Scale model railway, Chinley, which is the largest of its kind in the East Midlands. This impressive layout includes a highly detailed village scene, a Derbyshire canal basin, and a Cromford-Type inclined plane. Visitors will be able to explore the intricate details and intricate workings of this impressive model railway.

In addition to the model railways, the event will also feature a club information stand and a sale of good condition second-hand railway books at significantly reduced prices. This is an ideal opportunity for model railway enthusiasts to find some unique and valuable books to add to their collection.
