DAY
12 April 2013 13 April 2013
This two-day conference, organised by A2SN and supported by the
Postal History Society, the Business Archives Council and the Historical
Model Railway Society is the second in a series begun in 2012.
For full details and booking form please see: http://www.hmrs.org.uk/whatson/AAAA_Final_Flyer_2012_12_13.pdf
The conferences seek to explore and expand co-operation between
volunteer-led societies involved in business history fields and the academics,
archivists and museum professionals working in the same
areas. The events aim to prompt an awareness of what these various
groups are doing, and to start a dialogue between the enthusiast and
academic which may lead to co-operation in preserving and using
collections, and furthering our understanding of the past and its relevance
to the future.
Friday is at the London Metropolitan Archives and Saturday is at the London Docklands and the Sainsbury Archive . You can attend either one or both days.
Two brilliant days - definitely not to be missed, whatever your historical interest is

Immingham Model Railway Show
By SealionSteve,
A great show, as always. Some excellent layouts. Thank you to all concerned.

Weston-Super-Mare Model Railway Show 2026
By ianmianmianm,
Great mix of layouts and trade,
....but the floorplan created real bottlenecks around the entrance which was also the route between halls (via the changing rooms!) and so was already going to be busy anyway. But there were further trade stands and coffee stand put there.... creating groups of people lingering and blocking...... why oh why!
The catering van outside - ended up giving up because as we all stood queuing to buy food, nothing happening in the van, there was a lot of playing with kids and babies but the 4 people there couldn't manage to free up one to take orders.

SOUTHAMPTON MODEL RAILWAY SHOW -JANUARY 24TH/25TH 2026
By Robin Brasher,
Despite South West Trains' best efforts I managed to get to the exhibition on time. I had my doubts when they announced at Southampton Central Station that my train would be running non stop to Waterloo but I got on a Cross Country train that stopped at Southampton Airport. The pictures show:
1. My arrival at the exhibition on a heritage bus provided by the organisers.
2. There were a lot of people at the exhibition and a huge queue for the coffee machines. There seemed to be more people there than in previous years.
3. Essence of Ventnor in 0 gauge was one of the splendid layouts there. I saw it last year at the Brockenhurst exhibition.
4. Seaton Junction in 00 gauge was another interesting layout. There was an N gauge model of Seaton Junction at Pecorama that it donated to our model railway club so I found it interesting to see Seaton Junction in a larger scale.
I was not so lucky with my return journey as South West Trains was unable to run any trains from Southampton Central to Bournemouth and Weymouth so I ended up having to catch a taxi to Bournemouth.

WMRA Annual Exhibition
By Robin Brasher,
Excellent show. plenty of free parking, over 30 layouts, lots of traders and full catering. I liked the scenery on the illustrated 009 gauge Feorag layout set in an imaginary island west of Cornwall. TT:120 seems to be well received with two small oval layouts on display.
