Portsmouth Model Railway Exhibition

About

Whether you are already a committed enthusiast, looking for a family day out, or merely curious about this fascinating hobby, the South Hants Model Railway Club's annual exhibition has something for you. The exhibition is being held at the Admiral Lord Nelson School in Dundas Lane, PO3 5XT (just over the road from the Ocean Park Retail Centre).

There will be eleven working layouts on display, in various scales and gauges, showing many of the different approaches to this hobby that make it suitable for all ranges of age and ability.

A comprehensive group of traders will be on hand at the exhibition, ranging from general model railway traders (selling "ready to run" locomotives, carriages, track and scenic items), to those dealing with "kits and bits" to meet the specialist requirements of the fine scale aspects of the hobby. Tools and railway books will also be on sale.

A number of experienced model makers will be on hand to show you how it's done and, of course, no exhibition would be complete without Thomas! Younger visitors are welcomed to drive the trains themselves.

The exhibition opens from 10.30am until 4.30pm. There is free parking and a range of refreshments will be available.

Entry is £7 per adult and accompanied children (16 and under) go free.
