We have a fantastic new fully accessible venue for 2016. This year's exhibition offers a greater variety of interesting layouts (fifteen at present and maybe a few more), several railway societies and eleven quality trade stands. Close to the A2, Ebbsfleet station and Bluewater, our new venue has: Free on-site parking, a regular bus service that stops outside, wheelchair access and the usual friendly atmosphere. Our members are happy to assist those who request assistance and answer any enquiry about the Exhibition or Society.
Our new exhibition manager is so proud of this year's exhibition that he is allowing children accompanied by an adult to join us for FREE. So that means, one adult can bring several children with them and only pay £4!
Ebbsfleet railway station is only 17 minutes from Central London, 10 minutes from Stratford International and Gravesend railway station is 11 minutes from Dartford. Northfleet School for Girls is about 2-3 minutes drive from the Northfleet turn-off from the A2.
Bus route 481 serves Gravesend town centre, Ebbsfleet station and Bluewater shopping centre and stops outside the school on both days. Other regular bus services stop close by to Northfleet School for Girls. Anyone arriving by bus will be able to have one free tea or coffee on production of their bus ticket.
An extensive range of hot and cold food and refreshments will be available. Plus, we are pleased to announce local author and railway aficionado, Rob Poole, will be signing copies of his new book 'Railways of Gravesend, the Hoo Peninsular & Isle of Grain'. Be among the first to pick up a copy of Rob's new book, meet the author and have an opportunity to learn about Rob's passion for local railways.

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.
