SVR Spring Model Railway Weekend
2024-05-04 00:00 - 2024-05-05 23:59 | Highley Engine House, The Engine House, Higley, Shropshire, WV16 6NZ, United Kingdom
The SVR may be more used to 12 inches to the foot scale but why not join the SVR for a celebration of slightly smaller trains during our Spring Model Railway Weekend at The Engine House, Highley.
After travelling to Highley station by heritage train (full-size, of course!) on the 16-mile, standard gauge line, prepare yourself for a feast of everything scaled down. Over 30 of the UK’s most popular displays and layouts will be on display at the SVR's Highley Visitor Centre.
No matter whether you like O Gauge, OO Gauge or N Gauge, or something even smaller, there’ll be something for you!
Entry to the Spring Model Railway Weekend at The Engine House is included in the price of your travel ticket – there’s no extra charge!
If you are interested in exhibiting your layout at the event please register your interest.

Afterwards we will be holding our annual Christmas celebration in Kidderminster for those available and wanting to join us. A table has been booked at Chef’s Kitchen Indian and Nepalise Restaurant in Kidderminster, located near to the Premier Inn.
