Shrewsbury Festival of Model Railways
By BobM,
Absolutely lovely event, friendly, well organised, central location in spectacular St. Mary’s church.
Easily travelled to by train from Wolverhampton, just a short stroll away into town.
Wide range of superbly detailed layouts and specialist exhibitors and traders.
Lovely catering and well organised, very relaxed atmosphere.
Favourite layout had to be Ashford by Ashley Smith, such love put into it and highly crafted.
Well done to all
Regards
Bob

New Forest Model Railway Society - Brockenhurst, Hampshire - Exhibition
By Robin Brasher,
Enjoyed exhibition. I came by train and had lunch at the Foresters Arms. I enclose pictures of Pine Wood, Ipleigh Castle, Parts Unknown and Castle Bevan.
I was interested to see that the Hornby Terrier locomotives would run on 9" radius curves at Iplegh Castle. The Parts Unknown TT 120 layout was the second exhibition layout I have seen in that scale.

A friendly get-together and good chance to run your models.
The refreshments are pretty good too.

Lincoln district model railway exhibition
By Dagworth,
A well presented local club show with around a dozen layouts in 2, 4 and 7mm scales. The O gauge layout was actually one of the smallest layouts present.
Layouts were a mix of entertaining fiction through to well researched models of real places and places that had previously had railways but modelled as though those lines had survived the Beeching cull. A good mix of steam era and more modern diesel content too. One exhibit showed the true definition of a tail chaser, the train missing it's own tail by about 2 millimetres.
I was there helping with a layout presented as a work in progress that got quite a lot on interest showing how a layout was built.
A good social and meal on the Saturday evening in a local pub added to a great all-round weekend.
The show was VERY busy both days!
My thanks to the organising club and to @Clive Mortimore for letting me be his wingman for the weekend
