Lleida Expo Tren closed this Sunday its fifteenth edition with more than 8,000 visitors after a weekend of activity in pavilions 4 and 5 of Fira de Lleida. The fair once again brought together specialized public, families, and enthusiasts from different parts of the State, as well as France, Andorra, and Norway.
The event occupied a total area of 7,300 square meters and featured 75 exhibitors, 15 models at different scales and 420 accredited participants. In total, 32 brands were represented within an event already consolidated in the Lleida trade fair calendar.
Positive balance among the exhibitors
According to the organization's balance, the leisure and commercial exhibitors expressed a high degree of satisfaction both for the influx of public and for the volume of sales registered during the weekend, with a particularly highlighted incidence on Saturday's session.
The majority of participants also expressed their interest in returning to the next edition scheduled for 2027, after an event that has maintained the public's draw and the commercial response.
More presence of family audience
The organizer of the show, Raúl Valls, assured that this year a notable increase in family audience has been detected. That increase he attributed in large part to the recovery of the 12.7-centimeter gauge indoor circuit with manned trains, one of the proposals that allowed both children and adults to participate directly.

Valls also pointed out that attracting that profile of visitor is part of the strategy of the event.

Attractions designed for the little ones
Alongside the indoor circuit, another of the proposals aimed at the child public was the Märklin My World play area. To that was added the space set up by the Associació del Ferrocarril Transpirinenc, which installed a computer area with children's train games.
The fair was organized by Más Tren magazine with the collaboration of Fira de Lleida and La Paeria.
