Display
your layout at the Train Show!
We are very keen to hear from any
layout owners who maybe interested in displaying at the show.
Please feel free to contact us by email
and we will do our best to help you and your layout to be a part of the show!
The BIG Model Train Show brings
together the best model railways and trade stands from the
South Island of New Zealand. In addition, special guest layouts from the North
Island and further afield are often present at the Train Show.
All sorts of model railway layouts
are at the show including :
All displays must have railway as a
theme and must be of reasonable exhibition standard.
The profit from the train show is
returned to layout owners as a display payout. Payouts to individual layouts
vary according to display quality. Presentation (curtains, signs, activity etc)
and public attention are an important factor.
Exhibition standard layouts from outside of the
Canterbury area are also welcome and travel costs may be subsidised up to 100%. Contact us to
discuss transport arrangements. It may not be as difficult as you may think!
All exhibitors are welcome to attend
the Saturday night function. Traditionally this begins with some refreshments
after the closing of the show on the Saturday evening, followed by a
dinner, some entertainment and supper. In the past we have had speakers
including top class modellers, the Railway Heritage Trust, international
travellers, etc. One year we did a light hearted quiz!
As an exhibitor, the Train Show is an
opportunity to have an enjoyable weekend displaying your layout, meeting other
modellers, learning from others and browsing the trade stands!
