Every year, the British Railway Modellers of Australia (BRMA) holds an annual Convention in one of the states or territories.

It will be based at the Mantra Chatswood, 10 Brown Street, Chatswood, NSW 2067, Australia. The Convention is open to all. You do not have to be a BRMA member to attend. Of course, if you enjoy yourself we hope you will join us!
On Friday afternoon 28 September there will be some short workshops and clinics.
The Convention proper is on Saturday 29 September and will include talks and presentations from BRMA members and guest speakers, including our special guest speaker Tony Wright. There is a modelling competition and a photographic competition for members, a bring-and-buy stall and some trade stands where you can buy kits, parts, and bits and pieces. On Saturday evening there is a gala dinner, which includes the prizegiving for the modelling competition and an after-dinner quiz.

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
