DAY
25 March 2023 26 March 2023
It is now with very great excitement that I can confirm the following detains for our 50th GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY exhibition:
Location: Tytherington High School
Manchester Road,
Macclesfield,
Cheshire. SK10 2EE
Opening times: Saturday 25th March 2023 - 10.00am to 5.00pm
Sunday 26th March 2023 - 10.00am to 4.30pm
Admission price: Adults £9 - children up to 16 FREE ( child has to be accompanied by a paying adult ). All major cards taken on the door as payment as well as cash.
There will be the usual Big Red Bus - vintage Routemaster, which will provide FREE transport from opposite Macclesfield Railway Station - more details further down, leaving on the hour and then every half hour, then any recognised bus stop along the route ( including the Town Centre ) to the exhibition venue. Macclesfield station is served by Northern, Cross Country and Avanti West Coast services on a very frequent basis.
We will also be having ( weather permitting ) a selection of vintage cars on display in the car park directly outside the exhibition entrance. Also in attendance will be a vintage Fire Engine to admire.
Help celebrate both our 50th Exhibition and the "coming of age" (At 21) of the renowned P4 North Wales Diesel layout, 'MOSTYN'. This famous and celebrated layout has not been seen in the North of England for approximately 7 years, so Macclesfield Model Railway Group are extremely proud to have the Barrowmore group in atendance to help celebrate Mostyn's birthday.
There will be the usual wide range of quality exhibits, well supported by a wide variety of traders.
Also, don't forget the excellent food, everything from a snack to Sunday lunch, where you can relax and let the children play with the complimentary wooden BRIO trainset or/and also the 'Have a go at Driving' Thomas the Tank engine layout.

It will then turn right into Park Street up to the next roundabout, turn right onto Churchill Way and travel all the way to the last roundabout, where it will turn right onto Hibel Road and procede down to the next traffic lights where it will then turn left onto Manchester Road and then to Tytherington High School a short distance away.

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.
