Across two grand halls, you’ll discover over 35 meticulously hand-picked layouts, curated by The Model Railway Club and featuring an extraordinary mix of scales and gauges. From the charm of British branch lines to the innovation of European railways and the drama of American scenes, every layout tells a story brought to life by master modellers.
With 90+ leading retailers, specialist manufacturers, and unique small suppliers under one roof, this is the ultimate destination to shop for the latest products, rare finds, and essential modelling supplies. Whether you’re building your first layout or refining a lifetime’s passion, you’ll find everything you need to take your hobby to the next level.
The show is also a hub of knowledge and inspiration. Societies, clubs, and expert demonstrators will be on hand to share skills, answer questions, and showcase techniques – a perfect opportunity to learn, connect, and spark new ideas.
Join us at Alexandra Palace to celebrate 25 years of railway modelling excellence — a landmark event you won’t want to miss! Proudly sponsored by Bachmann Branchline and Graham Farish, World of Railways, and in association with The Model Railway Club.
