Now in its fourth year, this event was the brainchild of the late Paul Towers. Previously held at Minffordd station on the Ffestiniog, this year we relocate to Y Ganolfan Community Centre by the harbour in Porthmadog. We are continuing the show in the manner he envisaged - as a venue where people can come and chat to real modellers who want to share their skills and experiences and show that anyone can build a model railway if they so desire. There will be Memorial Service for Paul at St Cyngar's Church in Borth-y-Gest, just outside Porthmadog on Friday 16th at 2pm with refreshments afterwards.
With the increased space available, this year we have fifteen layouts in scales ranging from 2mm up to 16mm. Although predominately narrow gauge (well we are hosting the show in the epicentre of narrow gauge railways...) there are standard gauge layouts in 2mm and 4mm scale too. We have invited seven modellers to share their skills in most fields of modelling. The new venue is situated right by the harbour in Porthmadog, just the other side of Britannia Bridge from the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Harbour Station. There will be Garratts passing the front door during the show and it is only a hundred yard walk to be on the platform of the FfWHR. Refreshments will be available at the show, or for a full bar and restaurant, Spooners on the station platform will be open as usual. Car parking is free in the railway's Llyn Bach car park, a pleasant five minute walk from the venue. Blue Badge Holder parking on site and also (free)at the Harbour Station.

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.
