Wimborne Railway Society presents

Wimborne Railex

Saturday 15th April, 10am - 5pm & Sunday 16th April, 10am - 4pm

 

Wimborne Railex is a chance for all the family to come and view a number of wonderful working scale model layouts built by skilled enthusiasts from around our region. Amongst the exhibitors will be the recreation of the Bournemouth West station; until 1966 the terminus of the Somerset & Dorset Railway where famous trains such as The Pines Express would bring holiday makers from Manchester to Bournemouth, enjoying Dorset’s wonderful rural scenery on the way.

​

Today, some of the old S & D line near Wimborne has been converted to a trailway for cyclists and walkers to enjoy, which many Wimborne residents know well. At Railex, in addition to the layouts to see and demonstrations to learn from, there will be an opportunity for model railway enthusiasts to find a bargain from the specialist traders present.

​

Cafe @ the Allendale open for refreshments.
