London Model Engineering Exhibition

THE SOUTH’S MAJOR SHOWCASE OF MODELLING…..  NOT TO BE MISSED!

The London Model Engineering Exhibition is THE South’s Largest Model Engineering and Modelling Exhibition. Sponsored by the Engineering In Miniature magazine this exhibition is regarded as the premier modelling exhibition in the London and indeed the UK.

From the Friday 20^th – Sunday 22^nd January Alexandra Palace’s Great Hall will become a hub of activity with planes whizzing overhead, tanks rolling purposefully  and clouds of steam filling the air for the 16^th London Model Engineering Exhibition.

The exhibition is the largest modelling show in the UK and blends the full spectrum of modelling from the more traditional model engineering, steam locomotives and traction engines through to the modern remote control modelling including tanks, boats, aeroplanes and helicopters!

Visitors can travel between the show’s different zones, trying their hands on activities and watching technical demonstrations to engage young people and spark a passion for a hobby that can last a lifetime.

The Model Active Zone features action displays from the British Model Flying Association (BMFA), the UK Tank Club and Gauge 1 Model Railway Association who present a live working locomotive which visitors can ride on along a short track.

The Imagineering Foundation, an organisation formed in response to a drastic shortage of skilled engineers in the UK, will be educating and entertaining on their display with a range of fun, hands on activities, all illustrating the basic principles of science, technology and engineering.

For adults, the Society of Model and Experimental Engineers (SMEE) will be introducing people to the hobby by letting them try their hand at turning something on a lathe and machining a small item which they can take away.

There are over a seventy specialist suppliers at the show also selling a full range of tooling and materials for almost every project.  Many will also have parts which can be used for motor mechanics and other hobbies.

All in all its sure to be a capital day out!
