- Hi and thank you for stopping by. In this video we run through the all new show for the railway enthusiast and model enthusiast plus families that just want a great day out.
The Warley Model Railway Club has teamed up with the Statfold Narrow Gauge Museum Trust Ltd to hold a brand new railway modelling showcase event at the Trust’s Statfold Country Park venue near Tamworth, Staffordshire.
Branded as Warley at Statfold the event is planned for the weekend of the 12 & 13 October 2024 and entry tickets will include an exciting new-look model railway exhibition, full access to the Museum’s locomotive and stock collection, unlimited train rides on both the 2' and 12½" gauge railways and the chance for visiting families to enjoy numerous children’s themed attractions also on the site.
The exhibition is to be hosted by the Warley MRC and will see up to 30 quality layouts displayed across a variety of scales and gauges, along with a choice selection of specialist retail trade stands and manufacturers. A revamped programme of modelling demonstrations is also being formulated that will reflect the emerging techniques, technologies and demographics of today’s modern and diverse hobby.
Statfold has the largest collections of narrow gauge locomotives in the country, all of which will be open to view in the adjacent museum, or in action on any one of the outdoor railway circuits where visitors can hop-on and hop-off the full size trains as they loop through and around the beautiful country park setting.

Hi Andy, I hope you're ok. Nice to know your club is safe and moving forward. These videos are so valuable to all genuine railway modellers as usual. A big thank you for everything you do for the hobby. Best regards, Mark vickery 😊😊😊
Thanks Mark for taking the time to watch and comment.

Hi Andy. good to hear about the exhibition moving to Statfold, I didn't attend 2023 NEC, as it was too expensive to attend. Also I found I was not enjoying the NEC venue. I have visited Statfold on both the previous model shows, Statfold to me is more friendly place to visit, the only other large exhibition I visit now is Stafford. Model Railways is not a dying art, just look at the number of younger modelers on CZcams.
Thanks for the feedback back and thank you for taking the time to watch.
Keep safe and well my friend

I was planning on coming to the last open day but as i explained to someone I know in the club i am in the process of sorting out a property I have purchased which has taken up time on weekends of my free time and Volunteering at the Severn Valley Railway. Hopefully I can make the next open day.
One thing i think Warley need to do is invite local Midlands based clubs like Redditch MRC, Solihull MRC and others to bring their layouts along.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

Younger people have their faces glued to computer screens, addicted to video games.
To be honest I was the same when I was a kid 🤣
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.

Hi Andy A really good informative video, regarding the onward developments with Warley Club and the new Statfold Show. I just wish my local clubs were a bit more "outward thinking" and that Warley was nearer to where I am..lol Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
Keep safe and well my friend

I always found Warley too big, even the Scottish version in Glasgow was too much for me. Long live the small shows and thank you for an excellent presentation of the coming future of Warley
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
