In July 2012, the third [[Peep Behind the Scenes]] included an "exhibition of small privately-owned model railways" upstairs in [[Kidderminster Railway Museum]].<ref group="note">The wording of the article in SVR News that spring suggested that 2012 was the first time model railways were included in the Peep Behind the Scenes event.</ref><ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2525 SVR-Online Forum]</ref>. In August 2013 the SVR held a two-day "Vintage Toy and Train Expo" at The Engine House.<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2907 SVR-OnlineForum]</ref>.
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.
