The 2006 exhibition was a great success with thirteen layouts attending. There were nine different scale/gauge combinations on show including those in S7, 0n16.5, P4, EM, 00, 00n9, H0 and N. Layouts traveled from as far away as Berkshire, Kent, North Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire and Surrey, portraying British, American and European standard, narrow and broad gauge prototypes.

Twelve members of the trade, including specialist manufacturers, had a presence at the show. There was a display by the model engineers within the Club as well as the popular demonstration stand, this year with guest demonstrators Barry Norman and Laurie Griffin.

Throughout the weekend the visiting public was asked what layout they thought was the "Best in Show".
The large 00 layout "Wellbridge" from the Crawley Model Railway Society picked up the most votes and they
were presented with a special plaque for mounting on the layout.
