Railway modelling returns to Buxton after a long absence, with our new show in the rebuilt 'Octagon' of the Pavilion Gardens. This unique 27 acre venue will we hope make for a great backdrop to our model railway exhibition, amidst the Derbyshire Spa town of Buxton and its wide range of visitor facilities.

We'll annually have at least 20 quality layouts in as good a mix of scales and gauges as we can muster, supported by 20+ traders and an array of societies and individuals demonstrating the endless possibilities this great hobby suggests.

Buxton is well served by public transport and accomodation to allow you an enjoyable day or weekend visit.

For more information please see our website at: www.railexbuxton.co.uk

What an utterly stunning building and room.

We picked it specifically as it was such a stunning public visitor location.

An octagon shaped room with a ring of columns inside isn't the most ideal shape to display a series of rectangular exhibits out in, but hopefully visitors will be pleased with the results. It should certainly make for some great layout photo opportunities, both from inside and out.

The landscaped park with its bandstand boating lake and miniature railway will allow for a brew and moments peace from the hum drum ofcthe show too. If more serious refreshments were needed the Buxton Brewery pub is 100 yards from the show!

A great group of hard working folk are hopefully asleep now having done a long but productive day at the Pavilion Gardens. A few Saturday morning entries to sort early on and we'll be ready for doors opening at 9am.

For those driving and wanting to save parking fees, Park Road a short walk and opposite the venue offers plenty of free kerbside.

Cheers
Mark

A very good show, thanks Mark and everyone who helps to put on such a show.
I liked the mix of layouts and scales, I thought that the 2mm/N gauge layouts were generally exquisite.
As I put elsewhere, this was my first show for over two years and it’s great to be back!
Cheers,
John
