SALISBURY Railex will be welcoming model railway enthusiasts to a new venue this year.

This year’s event will see more than 20 layouts of all popular gauges on display at the Thruxton Centre, Thruxton Circuit, just off the A303 from 10am to 4.30pm on May 17 to 18.

The mammoth Bournemouth West and other such locally named layouts as Chitterne will be on display.

This family day out has free parking, disabled access to all areas and catering.

12 stands are provided by some of the model railway leaders in the industry, including Peco and Bachmann Collectors Club.

A spokesperson said: “Come and join us and learn about model railways and try out some of our special layouts for Shunters and Juniors.

“See Brooklands at Thruxton the first time that both racing circuits are together!”
