EXHIBITION OF SIGNALLING AT
KIDDERMINSTER RAILWAY MUSEUM
Saturday 6th/Sunday7th June and Saturday 13th/Sunday14th June
Kidderminster Railway Museum is well-known for its extensive collection of signalling related material. This includes
A full-size working signal box, recovered from Wrangaton in Devon
A working miniature lever frame from Covent Garden on the London Underground
A working lever frame from Rogart in the north of Scotland
A huge variety of signalling instruments from all over the country and from various railway companies and manufacturers. Many of those are wired up and operational and available for demonstration and use.
A large number of railway staffs, tokens and tablets, signal box nameplates and other signalling hardware
Over 40,000 photographs of signalling-related subjects, including the collections of the Westinghouse Signalling Company and the Signalling Record Society
A large quantity of signal box diagrams and working instructions dating from the 1800s to the present day
This is undoubtedly one of the most important and extensive collections of signalling in the country.
Because of the limitations of space, not all the above are currently on display, but most of this material will form part of an exhibition to be held at the museum on
Saturday 6th/Sunday7th June and Saturday 13th/Sunday14th June.
This will be a rare opportunity for visitors to the museum who are interested in railway signalling history to view this wonderful collection, much of which has not been seen before. There will be a number of staff on hand to explain the items in the exhibition. Demonstrations will take place during the days and visitors will be able to try their hand on some of the equipment. Both the photograph and archive collections will be available and prints of the photographs will be available for sale. The exhibition will be open from 10am to 5pm each of the four days.
This event forms part of a programme of activities during 2015 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Kidderminster Railway Museum

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
