I am really pleased to be posting details of the second Railway Studies and Modellers Show at the Passmore Edwards Centre, which is Newton Abbot Library.
The event will be held on December 9th 2023, and runs from 10am to 4pm, there is no admission charge, but the Railway Studies Collection is part of Newton Abbot library, which is managed by Libraries Unlimited, a registered charity, and a suggested donation of £5 per person would be appreciated, to help maintain what is a huge collection of railway books, photographs and ephemera.
There will be two talk taking place at the show, there is a separate charge for attending these, one by Graham Walker who is the Secretary of the Railway Studies Friends, and one by JACK BOSKETT, award winning Royal and Railway Photographer, tickets for these talks are selling fast, don't miss out!
There will be good selection of model railway layouts and traders at the show, and of course there is a café at the library selling hot and cold snacks and drinks, the bacon rolls are very good!
please do come along and enjoy the show and the Railway Studies Collection.
if you are able to share the event with friends and colleagues, please do!
The Railway Studies Collection have their own Facebook page, please like and follow. They can also be found on Instagram and Tik Tok

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.
