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.

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.
