Dunblane Model Rail Show

The Central Scotland Model Rail Show, brought to you by Scottish Modellers, takes place at Victoria Hall, Stirling Road, Dunblane, FK15 9EX on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th October 2026.

The show will feature 10 model railway layouts, along with modelling demonstrations and specialist traders including Rainbow Railways, Road Transport Images and Lathalmond Models.

It’s designed to be an enjoyable day out for everyone, from dedicated railway modellers and enthusiasts to families and anyone interested in seeing the layouts and modelling displays.

Visitors will also be able to enjoy what we confidently like to call “the best show café on the circuit”, with refreshments available throughout the weekend!

Victoria Hall is ideally situated right next to Dunblane railway station, making the show particularly easy to reach by public transport.

All exhibition rooms are accessible. There is limited parking immediately outside the venue, with plenty of additional parking available around Dunblane.
