2026 exhibition award winners

Each year, as our model railway exhibition draws to a close, we have the pleasure of presenting trophies and shields for excellence in different areas of railway modelling. Four awards were made on Sunday:

  • The Harburn Hobbies Trophy for best in show as voted by the public went to James Cochrane and Andrew Campbell for their layout Lockerbie.
  • The Robert Bruce Memorial Shield for best scenic layout, as judged by a PMRG team, was also awarded to James Cochrane and Andrew Campbell for Lockerbie.
  • The Jimmy Robertson Cup for best technical layout was won by Glenn Daniel for the automated fiddleyard on his layout Aberdeen Kirkhill.
  • The Ten Commandments Trophy for the best non-railway feature was presented to Thistle Modelmakers for the car loading facility on their layout Hamtramck.

Many congratulations to the award winners - they are all very well deserved among very stiff competition. Thank you to to everyone for taking part in a wonderful show. There was a very high standard of modelling on display.

A collection of photos of the award presentations is available below. We’ll have lots more photos and videos for the whole show soon!
