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.

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.

Macclesfield Model Railway Group's Annual Exhibition ( PLEASE NOTE: NEW VENUE!!!! )
By Merfyn Jones,
I was there for a MBF meeting/exhibition last Saturday. Excelent hall with all the facilities you need.
The bus from the station was a very good help for those that want to come by train rather than drive.

The Swansea Railway Modellers Group does an excellent job every year with this one, and it is well worth attending. It always features a fabulous set of layouts, traders, and societies on display. If you weren’t able to attend this year, check out my video to give you an idea of what to expect at the show and make sure to attend in 2026: Swansea Model Railway Exhibition 2025
