The Model Rail Show For Larger Gauges
 
The Midlands Garden Rail Show offers visitors the opportunity to see layouts in the larger gauges and scales.
 
The show has a diverse range of layouts in Gauge 1, O Gauge, G Scale and more.
 
Once visitors have been inspired to build your own layout why not visit one of the many specialist suppliers at the show who are more than happy to guide you in the right direction of the best product to purchase.
 
Visitors will see live steam model locomotives hauling coaches and wagons - the real thing in miniature.
