Directions
The Hall is at the junction of Corporation Street and Miller Street, next to the CIS tower. Access to the Exhibition is through the front entrance, facing Corporation Street. Corporation Street runs from Marks & Spencer to the side of Victoria Station.
Note that the post code for New Century House does not give the correct location on Google Maps nor StreetMap.
There is plenty of car parking in the nearby area.
Take the train to Victoria Station only 3 minute walk from the Exhibition, to Piccadilly Station (15 minute walk), or to Deansgate Station (20 minute walk).
Metrolink trams will be running throughout the Exhibition from Bury, Altrincham, Eccles/Salford Quays, Piccadilly Station and G-Mex - alight at Victoria Station (or Shudehill Interchange and then follow the tram lines to Corporation Street).
Warning: the Metrolink lines in the City Centre are being re-laid and work is not due to finish until 2nd November. Although bus replacement services will operate between Piccadilly Station, Victoria Station and St Peter's Square, if the weather is good and you are feeling fit then it will be quicker to walk as it only takes 15-20 minutes.

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.
