Hello and welcome to the first publication of details for the Manchester Model Railway Societies 2012 exhibition. This will be our 76th show and follows on from our exquisite 75th show last year. This is the first large exhibition that I have managed so I do hope I can count on your support! Although I am ‘in charge’ (& accountable!), I do have quite a large team at my disposal so firstly, I want to give my thanks to them and my predecessor, Andy Cooper who I assisted last year and who is assisting me this year.
The location will be the same as for the previous two years, The Armitage Centre, Moseley Road, Fallowfield, Manchester. M14 6ZT.
Saturday 6th October 2012 10AM to 6PM
Sunday 7th October 2012 10AM to 5PM
This year we will have new caterers so there should be a better meal service available.

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.

Swansea Model Railway Exhibition
By Cymru Rails,
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
