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.

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.
