Bristol Model Railway Exhibition

06/05/2026

This year for the 56th Bristol Model Railway Exhibition we produced a virtual Exhibition Guide which allowed visitors to capture a QR code for each layout to find more information about the exhibit.

We have received a few requests to publish these QR codes on our page so that people can read all the information at home.

The attached pictures contain these QR codes for you to use.

Thanks to our Partners, Warners Group Publications & BRM.

And thanks go to our many exhibitors, traders, stewards and societies, without whom there would be no show and to all those who worked so hard to make this one of the premier events of its kind in the South West.
