Warley MRC is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) with the aims of advancing public education and fostering a general interest in model railways, railways and allied pursuits, and in particular to encourage a high standard of modelling amongst the members of the Club.

​

It may have withdrawn from its annual landmark exhibition at the National Exhibition Centre near Birmingham, but a new partnership with the Statfold Narrow Gauge Museum Trust Ltd will now see the Warley Model Railway Club continue putting on such shows at the Tamworth haven for smaller gauge steam locomotives.

​

In January, the club announced its annual November show, which had become renowned for including centrepiece displays of standard and narrow gauge locomotives and rolling stock, was to be stood down for the foreseeable future as organisers – some of who had been involved in the planning for nearly 30 years – wished to retire and there were insufficient replacements stepping forward in order to see it continue.

​

Now, the club has partnered with the team at Statfold Country Park to see a smaller-scale but no less impressive show join the events calendar listing there on October 12/13.

The exhibition will welcome up to 30 model railway layouts spanning an array of scales and eras, along with a choice selection of quality retail trade stands and manufacturers. A revamped programme of modelling demonstrations is currently being formulated to reflect the varying emergences of techniques, technologies and demographics of the modern and diverse hobby.

The amazing Transport Museum Wythall will be providing a free bus service between Statfold Country Park, Tamworth Railway Station and Tamworth Town Centre!
