Full steam ahead! Climb aboard for this special family-friendly weekend dedicated to model trains and layouts.
Welcome to the Great British Model Railway Show, where the industry’s biggest names come together with enthusiasts to celebrate masterpieces in miniature.
Discover over 40 model railways of every shape and size, plus over 30 specialist traders. All the big names will be here, from Hornby to Bachmann, so whether you’re hunting for rolling stock or rolling hills, you’ll find everything you need for your next standout build.
New to the hobby? You’re in the right place. This show is a brilliant starting point for beginners looking to build their first collection and spark fresh ideas. It’s also a great day out for families wanting something a little different for the kids. Expect eye‑catching layouts, a hands‑on modelling skills zone, and in the Museum and Collections Centre, over 400 historic British cars to discover for an extra dose of nostalgia.
One show. Two days. All aboard.
