Tracks to the Trenches commemorates the role of logistics on the First World War battlefield - particularly focussing on the narrow gauge light railways that sustained the Trenches and the artillery.
Operating on the demonstration field railway will be a large range of historic WW1 locomotives and wagons - providing a clear demonstration of why they were built 100 years ago.
Also present onsite will be a large First World War living history camp, a number of historic vehicles and displays. Watch out for the Cavalry displays and other horse powered haulage during the days!
There is a large military themed narrow gauge model railway exhibition embedded within the event and also a large number of supporting traders - PLUS the all important REAL ALE BAR!

Metropolitan Junction - constructed by DA "Doug" Williams in the 1950s, this was a pioneering EM layout of a similar timeframe to Rev Peter Denny's Buckingham. Doug published a number of articles from the 1940s-80s. 2016 would have been Doug's 100th birthday and we are delighted to have the layout operational at ExpoEM

2025 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of the modern railway. Britain and the world changed forever. Railway 200 celebrates the past, present and future of rail.

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
