Hampton Court Model Railway Society proudly presents annual show, Tolworth Showtrain on the 9th and 10th November 2019.
Tolworth Showtrain 2019, covers three halls of the Tolworth Recreation Centre and features 24 working layouts covering both a variety of scales, time-periods and locations, with superb modelling and entertaining operation, including one where children can drive the trains, along with comprehensive Trade support, including one new this year. There are also demonstrators who will give hands on tuition in modelling skills. This is your opportunity to try your hand at something new, age will be no barrier to this, and you will probably have something to take away.
We aim to provide entertainment for everyone, not just the dedicated enthusiast, and many will remember Roland Emett and his eccentric designs for the Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Railway, this world is admirably brought to life with Mike Walshaw’s layout Scratchy Bottom. Or you may prefer St Ruth, a 2mm scale layout that is almost a model of Penzance.
On SUNDAY one Child will be admitted FREE with every paying Adult.
There is a free Bus link from Surbiton station which is served by South Western Railway services. The timetable will be available on the website in early October.
Several TfL bus services stop within 10 minutes walk of the show.
The show is fully accessible with everything being at ground level.

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.
