The Midlands Garden Rail Show offers visitors the opportunity to see layouts in the larger gauges and scales.
The show has a diverse range of layouts in Gauge 1, O Gauge, G Scale and more.
Once visitors have been inspired to build your own layout why not visit one of the many specialist suppliers at the show who are more than happy to guide you in the right direction of the best product to purchase.
Visitors will see live steam model locomotives hauling coaches and wagons - the real thing in miniature

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.

Macclesfield Model Railway Group's Annual Exhibition ( PLEASE NOTE: NEW VENUE!!!! )
By Merfyn Jones,
I was there for a MBF meeting/exhibition last Saturday. Excelent hall with all the facilities you need.
The bus from the station was a very good help for those that want to come by train rather than drive.
