We like to think our
exhibition, on or about the last weekend of September,
compares well with others in the North West. In addition to
having a good mix of exhibits, trade stands and displays
for the mainly family-based visitors, we try to look after
our exhibitors and traders as well as we can, as without
them nothing happens. Exhibition manager Tony, ably
assisted by secretary Alan and dog Pebble, plan up to three
years in advance to create the event, which is held
at Birkdale High
School.
Information on
our 2010 dates and admission prices is on the
exhibition details
page. The show guide is
included in the admission price.

It's a great day out
for all ages, with something for everyone, and the
exhibition has become a regular fixture in the Southport
leisure calendar. It is sponsored by the
Southport Visiter newspaper.
An addition to a wide variety of layouts, there are a number of
traders selling rolling stock, layout building
materials, memorabilia, DVDs, etc., and a good selection
of railway society stands. There is also a cafe
and, weather permitting, live steam train rides courtesy
of Southport Model Engineers.
