This is our nineteenth show, once again held at the popular venue of Fort Pitt Grammar School in Chatham (ME4 6TJ). We will have a minimum of fifteen model railway layouts, a varied selection of traders, railway and transport related societies, other model exhibits and modelling demonstrations.
We have a reasonably sized free car park. This year we will also have an hourly free bus service operating between the venue, Strood, Rochester and Chatham stations; so why not leave the car at home and take advantage of the bus service? There is level access to all areas of our exhibition, including the dining area and the accessible toilet.
The school caterers will be offering an extensive range of hot and cold food and drinks.
For the third year, we are proud to say we will supporting Guide Dogs, an excellent charity that receives no government funding but relies on donations to train guide dogs for blind and visually impaired people. All the money raised through our raffle goes to Guide Dogs and last year we raised £300 - so let's make that figure even bigger for 2017!
Come along to say hello and we will give you a warm welcome!

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.
