MODEL RAILWAY EXHIBITION

Information for visitors to COMM-RAIL 2012
Following on from last years opening success, we are confident that the long awaited move to the Pre-Christmas date will prove a further success for all. We have increased the size of the show by around 25% and more than doubled the number of exhibits. Once again several of the layouts are being shown for the first time ever and we have some which have been rarely seen or never exhibited in the North West before.
We are proud to announce the return of all three main traders (Squires model and Craft tools, Cheltenham model centre and DC Kits) alongside some specialist traders.
Those travelling from the north are advised to avoid using the A6 between Stockport and Hazel Grove- the A34 from M60 is a better way into Poynton. From the south via A34 or A523 is no problem. All roads works in Poynton are now completed!

Friday 7th 5.00pm to 9.30pm
Saturday 8th 10.00am to 5.00pm

Robertsbridge Model Railway Show 24-25 May 2025
By clogger,
Good little show. Bit biased though as I’m exhibiting at the show and have done so for a couple of years now.

The National Festival of Railway Modelling @ NEC
By 7013,
Considering this is the first show by BRM I thought they did a reall good job.
Quibbles: I know you have to rent the floorspace by the square metere, but it got a bit crowded at times between stalls/layouts.
Positives: Lots of good trade support, some superb layouts, and very helpful friendly staff.
Warley was always going to be a hard act to follow, and the organisers did well.
I can see this growing in the future

Tyneside Model Railway Exhibition
By jacko,
Drove down from Lanark early on Saturday morning (6 hour round trip!) to arrive shortly after 10am. The first surprise was seeing my cousin showing his O gauge layout in the foyer (shown as east Glasson port authority on the programme but it wasn't that). Nice to have a chat with him as we've not met for a couple of years. Moving on to the main halls, there seemed to be plenty of space for viewing, helped no doubt by my being there so early. I'd driven down especially to see Grantham, Pelaw and Fencehouses having seen them in the mags and I wasn't disappointed so spent at least an hour swapping between the three. All three layouts exceeded expectations but it was also great to see Richmond in the flesh, it having only just appeared in print last month. I saw Alston in Glasgow in February and there's been no drop in quality. However, my favourite (and I'm probably biased as I'm modelling the s&c) was Kirtley Bridge - what a superb layout, the quality of modelling and the atmosphere was outstanding. I think I spent around 3 hours at the show and was absolutely wrecked by the time I got home but it was well worth it. I'll be watching out for next year's dates to make sure they're kept clear.
