Having survived Covid Wimborne Railway Society (WRS) is pleased to announce that it's alive and running again! We are now able to hold our popular model railway exhibition again but this time in the heart of the historic town of Wimborne, Dorset, at a new, but smaller venue, The Allendale Community Centre. We are giving the exhibition a new name too; 'Wimborne Railex'.
In response to the fantastic support that WRS has received over many years from Model Railway Solutions of Poole and particularly during the difficult pandemic period, WRS has made Steve Knight and Martin Forder from the company Lifelong Trade Members of our club. To mark the occasion Wimborne Railex will feature the Model Railways Solutions Room where visitors will be able to see for the first time a 3D printed model of their latest exhibition layout, 'Bournemouth Central,' now under construction.
In addition to the layouts and traders present, WRS will be organising model railway related skills demonstrations during Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th April .
Admission prices are £7 for adults, £10 for families and children under 16 accompanied by a paying adult are free.
There are plenty of council run car parking facilities in the Allendale Centre BH21 1AS neighbourhood. Wimborne is well served by buses 3 & 4 from Poole and 6 & 13 from Bournemouth. Doors open at 10.00 a.m. Close at 5.00 p.m. Saturday, 4.00 p.m. Sunday.

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.
