Very friendly model railway show which includes approx 30 high quality model railways in a range of scales. The show is bigger in 2017 as we have secured a large additional exhibition space within the school. Layouts range in size from the compact 6ft to the highly impressive 50ft long. The impressive range of layouts is supported by trade stands and railway associations/societies. Rail Ex Taunton has something for the whole family. Brio hands on layout for children and age related trails/quizzes to help keep all the family occupied.
Ample free parking (blue badge spaces).
Fully accessible level venue.
Fantastic catering in the historic main school restaurant, including Sunday roast.
First aid cover.

Organising body: N Gauge Society Yorkshire Area Group
The Yorkshire Area Group of the N Gauge Society will be holding its annual open weekend on the 21st and 22nd of October in York.
We will have two large layouts set up. Come and train spot on our scenic DC test track Guys Cutting where you'll see trains showing the wide range of eras and locations of interest to our members. Alternatively, indulge in some shunting on our extensive FreeMo DCC layout. Visitors are welcome to bring models to run on either layout.
In addition to the two group layouts there will also be a number of layouts being exhibited by group members whilst others will be showing their latest modelling projects including a Motorail terminal and projects involving 3D printing and laser cut plastic.
We have a wide range of interests ranging from RTR to kit and scratch building; We have modellers interested in British, Continental, American, Japanese and even Malaysian prototypes dating from the steam era to today's railways.
If you want to learn more about DCC, 3D printing, electrics, signalling, locomotive maintenance, wood work, painting, scenic work or just about anything else model railway related we can usually provide some help and advice.

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.
