OPENING TIMES: SAT 10am-5pm, SUN 10am-4pm
ADMISSION: Adults £7.00 Concessions £6.00 Children £4.00 Family £18.00
This will be our fourth year at Stoneleigh Park and continues our consolidation at this new venue.
With working layouts in many scales, extensive range of trade support and refreshments all in one hall of over 30, 000 SQ FT.
Once again our ever popular Second Hand stall will be present with lots of bargains available.
We offer a FREE PROGRAMME on admission (While stocks last) and there is ample FREE PARKING at the venue. Please visit our website for full details of the event.
On behalf of the Leamington & Warwick Model Railway Society May I welcome you to this our 37th annual Model Railway Exhibition.
This is our 4th year at the Stoneleigh Park venue and the third time we have held the event in the spacious Hall 1.
This year we again bring you a variety of working layouts for your viewing pleasure.
We have layouts built to scales ranging from one of the smallest at 1.4mm/ft (Z Gauge) up to 10mm/ft (Gauge 1) at the larger end.
We have Continental and American railways on show as well as Narrow Gauge and even the London Underground. For those interested in specialist models have a look at our layouts of Bassett Lowke and Hornby Dublo.
If your interests lie in period models then we cover from the early 1900s up to the present century, and, as always, we do not forget the younger visitors. We hope they will become the modellers of the future.
For trade presence we always strive to provide variety.
The trade support is the backbone of our exhibition and again this year we offer a wide range of model railway related products to tempt those hard earned pennies out of your pocket.
Our hobby is well supported by an array of Societies offering specialist information relating to the real railways, past and present, as well as information on modelling itself. These Societies form a vital section of our hobby and we are pleased to present some of these Societies at our show.
Our own Society will, of course, be present.
If you would like to find out more about the LWMRS or even consider joining us please visit our Society stand. Our members will be on hand to offer information and try to answer all your questions.
And do not miss our amazing Second Hand stall. It has gained quite a reputation over the years for offering a huge quantity of bargains which May just include that illusive item you thought you would never find.
And finally you the visitors.
What would any exhibition be if it wasn't for the visitors that come along to see it.
Our aim is to present a spectacle for visitors to enjoy so we hope you can come along this time.
David Hewett, Exhibition Manager
Leamington & Warwick Model Railway Society.

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.
