Day 1: 3 September 2016
Opening times Day 1: 10.00 - 17.00
Day 2: 4 September 2016
Opening times Day 2: 10.00 - 16.00
Prices: Adults (16+): £5.00Children under 16): £2.50Family Groups (2 adults + 2 children): £12.00
Disability access: Yes
Car parking: Yes
Organising body: Medway Model Show Group
Organiser: George Marcar07821 [email protected]
This exhibition will be held in Fort Pitt Grammar School, Chatham, next door to the University College for the Creative Arts, only a few minutes’ walk from Chatham railway and bus station and the A2. The full postal address is: Fort Pitt Grammar School, Fort Pitt Hill, Chatham, Kent. ME4 6TJ
Chatham railway station is only 40 minutes from Central London, 33 minutes from Stratford and 21 minutes from Ebbsfleet International – using the frequent high speed ‘Javelin’ service.
As usual, we will offer a good number of visiting model railway layouts in various track gauges covering both steam and diesel eras – and not just British trains! This year there are:
18 different exhibits including a new children’s layout owned by the Gravesend Railway Enthusiasts’ Society (GRES) and a (tiny) T Gauge layout, both making their debut at this exhibition, as well as a working lit funfair and science-fiction related models;
14 different trade stands selling a range of items, not just railway related;
2 stands from preservation societies – Thames & Medway Canal Association and Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway.
So, plenty of fun to entertain the young and young at heart, as well as a chance to enjoy hot and cold food freshly prepared by the school caterers plus a selection of refreshments.
For the second year all money collected from our raffle will be going to Guide Dogs, who we are proud to support again in 2016. Guide Dogs not only train assistance dogs for visually impaired people, but their aim is to ensure people who are blind and partially sighted can enjoy the same freedom of movement as everyone else. The charity do not receive government funding so they rely on public generosity to fund their services - and visitors to the show are asked to give generously. Dave Kent of Guide Dogs, who has appeared as the face of Guide Dogs in publicity material and television adverts, will officially open the show with his guide dog Chad at 10.30 on Saturday (2 September). Dave is a model railway enthusiast and is again looking forward to the opportunity to be a part of the show.
I’m proud to say we raised £350 for Guide Dogs last year.

Immingham Model Railway Show
By SealionSteve,
A great show, as always. Some excellent layouts. Thank you to all concerned.

Weston-Super-Mare Model Railway Show 2026
By ianmianmianm,
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.

SOUTHAMPTON MODEL RAILWAY SHOW -JANUARY 24TH/25TH 2026
By Robin Brasher,
Despite South West Trains' best efforts I managed to get to the exhibition on time. I had my doubts when they announced at Southampton Central Station that my train would be running non stop to Waterloo but I got on a Cross Country train that stopped at Southampton Airport. The pictures show:
1. My arrival at the exhibition on a heritage bus provided by the organisers.
2. There were a lot of people at the exhibition and a huge queue for the coffee machines. There seemed to be more people there than in previous years.
3. Essence of Ventnor in 0 gauge was one of the splendid layouts there. I saw it last year at the Brockenhurst exhibition.
4. Seaton Junction in 00 gauge was another interesting layout. There was an N gauge model of Seaton Junction at Pecorama that it donated to our model railway club so I found it interesting to see Seaton Junction in a larger scale.
I was not so lucky with my return journey as South West Trains was unable to run any trains from Southampton Central to Bournemouth and Weymouth so I ended up having to catch a taxi to Bournemouth.

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.
