THE Show for Model Engineers

We look forward to welcoming you to the UK’s largest model engineering exhibition.

The exhibition will feature nearly 40 leading specialist trade suppliers, offering everything model engineers need—from tools, machinery and materials to components and expert advice.

At the heart of the show are the models themselves. Visitors can enjoy hundreds of exhibits across 32 competition and display classes, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and a wide range of engineering disciplines.

Why not put your model in the spotlight and enter the competition and display classes and be part of the show?

More than 30 clubs and societies will also be in attendance, presenting their own displays and providing opportunities to connect with fellow enthusiasts.

The Edinburgh Society of Model Engineers will be exhibiting for the first time this year.  Founded in 1894 ESME is the oldest model engineering club in the world!  The showpiece of their display will be a 7 ¼” gauge tender locomotive of an Eastern European prototype.  This has been a labour of love since 2003 and will be newly completed ready for October. 

The Fosse Way Steamers, will also be returning again for some live action!  Returning again is Davinder with his stunning traction engine “Anjali”.  As the only Sikh in Europe to own, exhibit and operate model traction engines, Davinder is passionate about preserving engineering heritage and inspiring younger generations to get involved in the hobby – come along and meet him and the other steamers.

A programme of live demonstrations, workshops and talks will be announced in the coming months, offering further opportunities to learn and develop new skills.

This unique exhibition is the result of a tremendous amount of effort by many hundreds of modellers and other enthusiasts.

Competition and Display entry is now open – see entry form at bottom of this page.
