Several events have been held, either as a discrete event, or as part of another. Unless otherwise stated, events have been held at The Engine House.
The Manchester Model Tramway Group displayed their layout at The Engine House from 2015 to 2020. The Group’s fully-operating miniature tramway layout was the brainchild of George Oakley, who first exhibited the tramway in 1949 and who had a keen interest in both the Manchester and Llandudno & Colwyn Bay tramway systems. It is built to a unique 5/8" to 1' gauge, with models hand-built by its members.
Model railway layouts have often been an attraction at the Open House Weekend, both at The Engine House and Diesel Depot.
From 2021 an O Gauge Autumn Model Railway Weekend was held. The September 2021 event arose from the COVID-19 cancellation of the Gauge O Guild’s ‘Guildex’ exhibition, following which a small group of SVRSevern Valley Railway volunteers successfully organised an impromptu ‘O Gauge Get Together’ event. An expanded September 2022 event featured nine layouts, and trade and modellers’ group stands.
In May 2022 a Spring Model Railway Weekend was held, split from the Open House Weekend. 27 layouts were in attendance in scales from 009 to 0. Highlights included Cregwir, a layout based on the Island of Sodor with characters from The Railway Series, including Thomas, Stepney, Bear and Wilbert. Other layouts on display were a ‘have a go’ live steam layout with LNERLondon & North Eastern Railway A4s, Halfpenny Green with engines local to Worcester, and Campbell’s Quarry, where a crane scooped sand up, dropped it into wagons before it was dropped off further up the line.
