Tonbridge Model Railway Club Exhibition

Tonbridge Model Railway Club runs an annual exhibition on a Saturday in mid February at the Angel Centre, a leisure centre in the middle of Tonbridge, Kent. The club describes it as one of the largest one-day model railway shows in the area and says it is known for the quality and variety of its exhibits, with layouts in a range of gauges, scales and prototypes.

The club also invites a range of sales stands, from traditional model shops to specialist traders and societies. Its exhibition page lists the layouts, traders and other stands that have been invited, and says the list may change: layouts in OO, O, HO, P4, 7mm and 2mm finescale, traders such as Dart Castings, Cambrian Models and Rapido Models UK, and stands including the Spa Valley Railway and Tonbridge Model Engineers.

The club says it aimed to give wider walkways between the rows of exhibits at a previous show, and that 'hop ups' are available so children can see some exhibits, subject to demand.
