THE SHOW FOR MODEL ENGINEERS

 

This year, the ever-popular Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition will be returning to the Warwickshire Event Centre from Thursday 18^th to Sunday 21^st October.

 

It is established as one of the leading model engineering exhibitions and the second longest running show of its kind in the UK. At four days in duration it is a comprehensive and full exhibition for everyone to enjoy, This is THE show for model engineers.

 

Over 50 of the leading suppliers to the Model Engineering world will be present - check out the confirmed list of trade attending on the website.

 

The exhibition showcases hundreds off models from over 40 societies and individuals for visitors to enjoy along with a wide range of outside attractions, workshops and lectures.

 

There are also a wide range of outside attractions to see, like the well regarded 5” gauge outdoor track, operated by the Coventry Society of Model Engineers and the Polly Owners Group, who will return with the magnificent Fosse Way Steamers.  There will be demonstrations from the Gas Turbine Builders Association and also Noel Shelley with his foundry work.
