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.

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
