You won't be disappointed by what's on offer at this year's exhibition. Several SMEE members will be demonstrating workshop activities.

Club & Society Model Displays and Working Demonstrations

This years Model Engineering Exhibition brings you a wealth of Clubs and society’s from around the UK, some clubs are in their 104th year and others are brand new clubs looking for help and information. You will find displays of models and work-in-progress, demonstrations of members' skills and more importantly, friendly caring people who have the knowledge to answer questions about their individual projects.

Workshop Tools and Equipment

	For advice and expertise on what kind of equipment and tools you need for your workshop go to the trade stands at the exhibition where you will find a wealth of well known traders carrying stock from precision made taps & dies to a large range of lathes and milling machines.

Railway, Traction Engine and Stationary Steam Models

	A huge range of railway, traction engine and stationary steam models will be on display throughout the weekend. Many individuals will bring thier models and clubs from up and down the country will display their impressive collections, many of which have taken years to perfect.

The Stirling Engine Society

	With such fantastic displays of various engines throughout the show, you will be hard pressed to find a more impressive collection of Stirling engines, many of which will be working throughout the show. Members will freely share advice and information; do ask for advice for your own projects!

Marine Models

	Several model boat clubs will be attending and there will be a wide range of boats on display from barges, yachts, ancient vessels and steam launches. There will be many model boat and ship entries in the competition classes. Many of these are most impressive models and the amount of detail to be seen is often quite engrossing.

Outdoor Displays

	We are hoping to have on display at the front of the hall and running around the streets of Esher, a Fowler traction engine. (At least there will be somewhere to keep warm these Winter days!). The Fowler 'Oriana' is a 5 ton tractor of 1927.
