CovRail 2026 - June 27th

[andyspencer]

The next show we'll (Amazing Little Trains Ltd) be at is CovRail on 27th June. This show is a more general model railways show but does feature some large scale layouts and trade support.
I understand that we, along with John Sutton are the large scale trade, and Mike Smith is bringing one of his G scale layouts. The West Mids G Scale Society are also bringing their Wuppertal Bahn - if you've not seen this before, its an impressive bit of kit! Apologises if I've missed anyone - are you going @PhilP ?
The organisers have deliberately kept the prices low to try and get the best number of visitors. A nice touch is any serving or veteran from the armed forces (with ID) get in for free.

This is a model railway event being held in Coventry organised by Model Railway Events Limited (MRE) a part of Thunderbolt Models Ltd.

Free parking!
7 First Time Shows!
43 Layouts!
8 Societies and Other Stands
23 Traders!
Food and refreshments on site.
Air Conditioning

Adult tickets cost £8 (“Early bird” £7 plus booking fee online).
Sports Connexion Leisure Club & Venue,
Leamington Road,
Ryton-on-Dunsmore,
CV8 3FL

@andyspencer
Think we are going over towards Chester, to a miniature event that weekend..
If not, we might turn up as Punters?

Sadly as with many shows no information about Bus Services to the site, just spent some time searching for some even in Midland Red site that wanted to send mo somewhere the other side of Leamington Spa. Bus searching can be a nightmare at times.

Nice to see service men and women, and veterans have free entry, unfortunately (like the King and Queen yesterday) we are double booked.
