TCS Summer Show near Aylesbury Bucks 6 th July 2019

The Train Collectors Society will be holding our 21th Summer show again at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium close to the famous hospital near Aylesbury Buckinghamshire .  There will be a large hall as before with at least 20 working model and toy train displays and over 20 specialist model and toy train traders.  We also plan to hold our popular Bring and Buy stand for TCS members so bring along your unwanted items.
