We are delighted to announce Metcalfe Models as a sponsor of The National Festival of Railway Modelling at the NEC in November.
The leading card kit manufacturer will be launching two brand new kits just in time for the show. A full video on how to build the kits will also premiere on the huge cinema screen in a new feature for 2025, the World of Railways Stage.
Steve Cole, publisher of the railway portfolio at organisers Warners Group Publications, is excited to have Metcalfe onboard once again: “The National Festival of Railway Modelling is the flagship event in the railway modelling calendar, and as such it should be partnering with the industry’s leading brands such as Metcalfe Models. I am delighted to be working with Metcalfe once more and for two brand new kits being launched at the show."
Paula Thompson, marketing director at Metcalfe Models, had this to say: “We are delighted to be sponsoring The National Festival of Railway Modelling for the second year. The show was such a huge success in 2024 we wanted to be part of its success once again. Although we won’t have a dedicated Metcalfe retail stand, we will be well represented by many of our fantastic trade customers who always have a great stock of our products, including two brand new kits which will be ready just in time for the show (more details to follow). It’s a great family show that we are proud to sponsor.”
The National Festival of Railway Modelling is at the NEC, Birmingham, over the weekend of November 22 & 23. It’s the UK’s biggest model railway exhibition, showcasing over 60 of the country’s best model railways, over 100 traders plus a variety or societies and demos.
