‘SMALL but spectacular’ will be celebrated at the Severn Valley Railway during the popular upcoming Model Railway Weekend on May 2 and 3.

The event takes place at The Engine House Visitor Centre and promises a fascinating journey into the world of model railways.

Guests will begin their experience with a full-size heritage train ride to Highley station before stepping into a showcase of intricate miniature layouts and displays.

Around 30 of the UK’s most popular model railway exhibits will be on display, offering something for enthusiasts of all scales, from O Gauge and OO Gauge to N Gauge and even smaller creations.

The extravaganza is perfect for everyone – whether a seasoned hobbyist or simply curious – there will be an engaging and detailed look at the craftsmanship behind these tiny railways.

Entry to the Model Railway Weekend is included with travel tickets, making it a great day out, combining heritage travel with hands-on discovery.




Lewis Maddox, visitor engagement manager at the Severn Valley Railway, said: “The Model Railway Weekend is always a highlight in our events calendar.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for visitors to experience the charm and creativity of model railways alongside a journey on our full-size heritage line.


“Whether you’re a lifelong enthusiast or discovering the hobby for the first time, there’s something here to inspire everyone.”

The Engine House is just a short walk from Highley station, making it easy for visitors to transition from full-scale locomotives to their miniature counterparts.
