Wealden Railway Group exhibition 2025

"Well it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts."

This is what I said the last time I posted an exhibition report, and here we are again eight years later. Obviously I have been to exhibitions in the intervening time (apart from that weird gap 2020 - 2021 ish) but like with the rest of the blog stopped updating about it.

Anyway this was my first time to the Wealden Railway Group show in Steyning, West Sussex, although not for want of trying as it's been on my to-do list for years – the date usually didn't work for me.

And what a gem it is – a friendly and relaxed little exhibition with much of the vibe of an 009 Society members' day, except with more diversity in the layouts. I didn't take photos of everything, but here are some highlights.
