George Spencer Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Basingstoke 2020, having also done Southampton and Alton. I suspect that the best bet for my next one will be either Woking or Aldershot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Train Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 My last visit was, early last March as a Demonstrator at the Rainhill 2 day Model Rail Show, enjoyable weekend. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invicta Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Doncaster in Feb, followed by Sileby the following weekend. Apart from the GCR Winter Steam Gala, Doncaster usually marks the start of the 'season' for me in terms of going to shows etc., so I certainly didn't anticipate it all being over for the year in those three weekends, apart from managing a few day's break in Wales and a trip on the Welshpool in September...

RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted February 7, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2021 I think my last visit anywhere, was the larger Cardiff show at Llandaff. (2019 ? ) Or, it might have been the Small Cardiff Show, normally in January February. I think it was 2020. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I did Bristol O gauge show, then Stafford and just as we we're locking down a quick trip to Macclesfield. I never thought I would miss model shows and for many years I didn't got to any but it would be really nice to go and have a nose around somewhere and talk to a few people! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Last show I went to was my local one at Leamington. We went on the Saturday when one hall was closed due to an overnight break in and theft. Kinda took the edge off the show although the hall opened not long after we left. We didn’t bother going back as I had spent enough anyway. That all seems so long ago now. cheers Shane 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

009 micro modeller Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I have a feeling that my last one was actually also the most recent one I exhibited at - Kettering and District MRS in September 2019. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS1977 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hopefully with a few shows now starting up, it won't be long before we start seeing responses in this thread of "XYZY last weekend..." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few smaller ones have run very recently. I am unlikely to be attending a big show for a bit for non-Covid reasons (too busy, travel costs etc.) but hope to return this year or early next.

davidbr Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The last exhibition I went to was at Houten on the outskirts of Utrecht, 22/23 February 2020. I was helping on the Modelu stand there but the exhibition was interesting. There was, naturally, a lot of HO but plenty of other thing one does not see very much at UK exhibitions - dioramas, a couple of stands with big ranges of Lifecolour and other acrylic paints and landscaping materials, some interesting tools and automated road vehicles. It is an exhibition I shall go back to, not every year but every so often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Model Rail Scotland in February 2020 was my last exhibition, and my first one post-pandemic was expected to be Warley this November. Not any more...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 There is a big show going ahead - Hornby Mag did a splash on YouTube last night: And they get to call themselves the biggest show of 2021 as well - not much competition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adrianmc Posted August 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Visited the Bexhill Model Railway Club's exhibition yesterday at the St Richards Catholic College. With facemasks and hand sanitizer much in evidence it was good to see a fair number of paying visitors at this local show. Spread over the main split level hall, three classrooms and a long corridor there were 16 layouts of various shapes and sizes supported by roughly the same number of traders. Much time was spent chatting to David Holman who had brought along his excellent 7mm scale Irish 3ft narrow gauge layout Fintonagh.

RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted August 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 20, 2021 Not exactly an exhibition, but I went to Amberley Chalk Pits Museum for their railway weekend in July 2021 and they had a large american narrow gauge layout in a barn and several layouts from the West Sussex 'N' Gauge Model Railway Club in the railway museum. No photos I'm afraid, but a video of the monorail in operation: 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted August 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 20, 2021 Donny in Feb 2020; just before the end of life as we know it. Enjoyed the Fish and Chip Lunch opposite. Still trying to recover from wandering around aimlessly syndrome. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
