About This Show

The Warley National is the pinnacle of British model railway exhibitions. Held each November at Birmingham's NEC, this massive show features over 50 working layouts ranging from small dioramas to vast club projects. British outline predominates, but international modelers are also represented. The trade stands offer the complete range of British and European products. Layout standards are exceptional, with many competition-winning displays. For anyone interested in British railway modeling, Warley is the must-see event of the year.
