Railway Collectors' Events Diary

If you are interested in items of railway memorabilia (railwayana) - whether locomotive nameplates, lamps, signalling equipment, silverware, enamel signs, buttons, badges, books, photographs or postcards - you will find below details of auctions and fairs specializing in such items. Many events carry a selection of other related interests, such as shipping, buses, advertising signs, models, etc. For other model information see www.traincollectors.org.uk
