Unfortunately with our annual exhibition having to be cancelled, we will be holding a open day. If you've wondered about being a member of a club, come and meet our members and our see our layouts. Solihull Model Railway Circle was founded in 1951, making it one of the oldest model railway clubs in the Midlands, and it is still active today. The main objectives of the club are to share and improve knowledge and skills between the members, to produce scenic model railway layouts in different scales and formats and to exhibit them to the general public.

List of Layouts Attending:
1. Grange Aggregates
2mm Scale, N Gauge
Solihull Model Railway Circle
Grange Aggregates started up many years ago. The canal was cut in order to transport the stone out instead of using horses and wagons. The narrow gauge railway was then laid to take stone to the crushing plant. Steam engines were introduced on the narrow gauge in the 1800s. When the main line railway was built, the loops and sidings to the quarry were also put in. All these forms of taking the stone out are still very much in evidence, with stone going out by canal, road or by rail.
2. A Scottish Branch
4mm Scale, OO Gauge
Solihull Model Railway Circle
A end to end branch line club layout based on Scottish practice, displayed here partly built to give an insight into layout construction. It is 16 feet long and just over 2 feet wide and we are using SMP code 75 bullhead plain track and handmade Marcway points. It has been constructed to run with either DCC or traditional control. There is a terminus station at one end and a hidden 'fiddle' yard with a traverser at the other, with a scenic section in between. A major part of the concept is the use of very deep baseboards, with the railway running through the middle, allowing greater depths and heights of scenery for a more interesting appearance. The major architectural feature is the curved viaduct based on Killiecrankie.
3. Not Much Room
7mm Scale, O Gauge
Ken Jones
A small industrial loco shed yard, with a factory and coal traffic passing through. All buildings are scratch built from card and embossed Plasticard.
4. Bricks in Motion
1:40 Scale
John Butler
A brick built (Lego) town with an accompanying freight rail yard, with several passenger and freight trains.

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.

Macclesfield Model Railway Group's Annual Exhibition ( PLEASE NOTE: NEW VENUE!!!! )
By Merfyn Jones,
I was there for a MBF meeting/exhibition last Saturday. Excelent hall with all the facilities you need.
The bus from the station was a very good help for those that want to come by train rather than drive.

Swansea Model Railway Exhibition
By Cymru Rails,
The Swansea Railway Modellers Group does an excellent job every year with this one, and it is well worth attending. It always features a fabulous set of layouts, traders, and societies on display. If you weren’t able to attend this year, check out my video to give you an idea of what to expect at the show and make sure to attend in 2026: Swansea Model Railway Exhibition 2025
