The Leamington & Warwick Model Railway Society are having an open weekend on the Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th July between 10am and 4pm on both days.

Clarendon - P4
Kimble - O
Duxbury - OO
The Modules - OO
Meacham - N
Kineton - N
We also have a number of new groups working on layouts in other scales including OO9, O-16.5/NG7 and TT120
Outside the 45mm Outdoor Railway will be in operation with a mix of live steam and battery electric locos in various scales, and on Sunday 6th the neighbouring Knightcote Model Boat Club will also be open.
The Leamington & Warwick Model Railway Society is always open to new members. We meet regularly every Thursday evening with visitors welcome from 19.30, so even if you can't make it for the open weekend, come down to the club rooms and have a look around. You will be sure of a good welcome and there is plenty of interest for all modelling skills, or for those who just like to chat, or browse in the extensive club library.
We are located at:
New House Farm, Knightcote, Southam, Leamington, CV47 2EQ

There are three time-windows on Saturday (10:30am, 12:30pm, 3:30pm) and two on Sunday (11:00am, 1:30pm). I believe Dave Harris's talk is repeated in each slot.

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.
