The Gravesend Railway Enthusiasts Society (GRES) celebrates its 55th birthday in 2025, having started in 1970. While the Society has held model railway exhibitions in and around Gravesend from that time, there have been a few gaps, the last being for the pandemic in 2020. So, this year we celebrate 50 years of model railway exhibitions.
To mark this occasion, GRES commissioned 100 Southern-green liveried wagons in OO Gauge branded with the GRES name. Each wagon includes an individually numbered certificate with a brief history about our exhibitions.
The price for this special limited-edition wagon is just £19.99 each. So, don’t delay as many have already been sold! Below is a photo of the wagon to entice you and these wagons will be on sale at the GRES Model Railway Exhibition 2025, on 1 & 2 November from 10.00 each day, at the Northfleet School for Girls, Hall Road, Northfleet, DA11 8AQ.
