Annual
Exhibition
The large-scale model railway
exhibition held each year in Weymouth is organised solely by the Weymouth
Model Railway Association. The exhibition format is approximately twenty quality model railway layouts,
about fourteen varied trade stands, demonstrations, and other exhibits. Each
year we produce a quality, 28 page A5 size guide to the exhibition, which
includes full layout descriptions supplied by the owners/builders, details of the traders and adverts.
We're
always interested in hearing from those who would like to exhibit a layout,
provide a trade stand, or become a sponsor of the exhibition; there's also
the opportunity for others to advertise in the guide - see our homepage
> Contents > Contact Us.
The 2008 exhibition
will be the 20th consecutive annual
exhibition, the 18th under the Weymouth MRA name - previously (the absorbed
into our Association) Upwey & Broadwey MRC organised them from it's
inception, in 1989.
