About this event

Solihull Model Railway Circle holds an exhibition of working model railway layouts at St Mary's House in Hobs Meadow, Solihull, with traders offering new and second-hand models. The club keeps a page on its website for each past exhibition.

In its latest listing the club announced ten working layouts across two halls and three traders. The layouts included the club's own, such as its O gauge Avonbridge and OO gauge Cherwell, alongside guest layouts in N, OO9, HO and O gauge. The club says it welcomes approaches from the owners of exhibition-standard layouts who would like to exhibit.

The club meets weekly in the Hobs Moat area of Solihull and invites visitors to ask about joining.
