Wimborne Railway Society

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.
