Forthcoming Events

The Train Collectors Society

‘Any make, Any gauge, Any age’

Events

If you are interested in toy trains, there are many events for you to attend throughout the UK. The majority are swapmeets, which are listed in the various model railway and collector magazines. However there are also an increasing number of events that put the emphasis on running and displaying toy trains, rather than just trading them - through most also have some trading. The TCS is involved in organising a few of these shows, most are independent. They are all well worth a visit by the toy train enthusiast.
