COMM-RAILCOMM-RAIL
7th-8th-9th DECEMBER 2012
MODEL RAILWAY EXHIBITION
Poynton Youth and Community Centre, 107 Park Lane, Poynton, Stockport, Cheshire SK121RB
Information for visitors to COMM-RAIL 2012
Following on from last years opening success, we are confident that the long awaited move to the Pre-Christmas date will prove a further success for all. We have increased the size of the show by around 25% and more than doubled the number of exhibits. Once again several of the layouts are being shown for the first time ever and we have some which have been rarely seen or never exhibited in the North West before.
We are proud to announce the return of all three main traders (Squires model and Craft tools, Cheltenham model centre and DC Kits) alongside some specialist traders.
Those travelling from the north are advised to avoid using the A6 between Stockport and Hazel Grove- the A34 from M60 is a better way into Poynton. From the south via A34 or A523 is no problem. All roads works in Poynton are now completed!
The public open dates and times
Friday 7th 5.00pm to 9.30pm
Saturday 8th 10.00am to 5.00pm
Sunday 9th 10.30am to 4.30pm
(please note we do not open until 10.30am on Sunday)

International N Gauge Show
THE SHOW FOR THE RAILWAY MODELLER
Join us for this premier two-day event, entirely dedicated to the world of N Gauge – a must-attend show for every railway modelling enthusiast! This year’s show is supported by The N Gauge Society.
As the UK’s only show focused exclusively on N Gauge, it provides a rare opportunity to see the scale showcased at its very best. Visitors can enjoy an impressive line-up of over 25 high-quality layouts from across the UK and Europe, featuring a wide variety of styles, eras and locations. From finely detailed British scenes to striking international displays, the show promises plenty of inspiration for modellers of all abilities.
A strong selection of specialist traders will also be in attendance, supplying everything from the latest locomotives and rolling stock to scenic materials, tools and accessories.
This show attracts both experienced modellers and those new to the scale. Whether visitors are looking to develop their layouts, discover new products, or simply enjoy a day immersed in the hobby, the event offers something for everyone.
With a spacious indoor venue, easy access and ample parking, the Warwickshire Event Centre provides an enjoyable setting for a full day out.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Weston-Super-Mare Model Railway Show 2026
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.
