G1MRA AUTUMN SHOW AND AGM 2025

The Gauge 1 Model Railway Association will be holding one of its flagship annual events on 11th & 12th October 2025, at Hopetown, Darlington, which is co-located with the A1 Trust.

The AGM has recently been in other locations, but for 2025, the 200th anniversary of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the A1 Trust offered G1MRA a fabulous opportunity to bring the AGM north this year to help celebrate.

Hopetown Darlington is a destination in its own right which draws thousands of visitors every year, and you’ll be able to see the progress of the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust’s P2 project as well as being able to explore the rest of the site.

We’ll post more details about the show closer to the time, but it promises to be a unique opportunity to celebrate railways, in all forms.
