Southport Model Railway Show 2013
Photograph by Patrick Trollope.

THE 40th Southport Model Railway Exhibition was held at Birkdale High School, and ran over 28 September to 29 September 2013. The event had a special attraction, a model of Lime Street Station, scaled down with working trams and even moving vehicles! Plus the show offered for the public many other layouts to look at. One of the other layouts including an American railway layout, compete with snow. Outside the event also has a working model steam train, from Southport Model Engineering Club giving rides to young and old.

It might not be the biggest model railway exhibition, but it what they miss out on size they made up with quality. It was a very interesting event that had many surprises hidden for those attending to find, as well as giving some the opportunities to learn new skills. Amongst the trade stands and the models, where 2 stands advertised full size railways, the local West Lancashire Light Railway (W.L.L.R.)and the Welsh railway, the Rheliffordd Talyllyn Railway.

Exhibition manager Tony told us that:- "This was a special event, as it was our 40th show and we hope all who attended enjoyed it as much as we have. I would like to thank all our volunteers, exhibitors and traders, as without them we could not have held the event. If any of those who attended or your reads would like to find out more about the Southport Model Railway Show, then they can do so via visiting our website."
