Spring Model Railway Weekend

Sat-Sun 6-7 May 2023 Spring Model Railway Weekend

Most of the time, the SVR simply runs full-size locomotives, such as the 67ft-long 34027 ‘Taw Valley’, but for two days in May, we’ll be celebrating everything small, during our Spring Model Railway Weekend, at The Engine House, Highley.  

After travelling to Highley station by heritage train (full-size, of course!) on the 16-mile, standard gauge line, prepare yourself for a feast of everything scaled down. Many of the UK’s most popular displays and layouts will be on display at our Highley Visitor Centre, accompanied by retailers, major manufacturers and interactive exhibits. 

No matter whether you like O Gauge, OO Gauge or N Gauge, or something even smaller, there’ll be something for you!  

Entry to the Spring Model Railway Weekend at The Engine House is included in the price of your travel ticket – there’s no extra charge! 

Alongside a fantastic selection of layouts, model railway manufacturer Accurascale will be in attendance, showcasing their newly-released 00 Gauge Manor models PLUS ,samples of their forthcoming Class 50s will be available for viewing, as well as information on their next steam locomotive project. You won’t want to miss out!

Don’t miss these amazing events!
