The Live Steam Model Railway Show, now in its 20th year, chugs into the Kew Bridge Steam Museum on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 November. The highlight of the museums calendar, the show will entertain families and railway enthusiasts alike with scores of model railway trains puffing away under their own steam.
The show offers visitors a thundering good time, with four model railway layouts, all of which have real steam engines, running throughout the weekend. A great family day out with something for all ages, the show is FREE ENTRY for children* and includes a special 'have a go' area for kids.
Visitors can also enjoy a ride on the museums resident steam locomotive, Cloister, a narrow gauge steam railway, offering free rides around the museum grounds. Resident experts will also be on hand to discuss tricks of the trade with those both new and experienced in railway steam modelling, to help indulge their hobby or interest further. Railway layouts include:
There will be a variety of stalls supplying the modeller with all the necessary materials available for purchase, including a wide range of models, kits, drawings, photographs, specialist books and magazines and other steam related merchandise.
As well as the layouts, the show will have many of the country's leading railway preservation societies represented and a host of trade exhibitors selling everything you need for a model railway.
*Children must be accompanied by a paying adult.
