Severn Valley Railway is inviting visitors to enjoy a celebration of all things small but spectacular at its upcoming Model Railway Weekend on 2 and 3 May.

Taking place at The Engine House Visitor Centre, the event 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. Whether you’re a seasoned hobbyist or simply curious, you can expect 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 perfect day out combining heritage travel with hands-on discovery.

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. More information at svr.co.uk.
