    Excellent smaller show, well worth a visit.

    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 Andi

    A really enjoyable local show. I've just come back from spending a couple of hours there this afternoon. Friendly people and some great modelling. My personal favourite layout was 'Horncastle', which ticked a lot of (mostly blue and yellow with Railfreight grey and red) boxes for me. Well worth popping along tomorrow if you have a few minutes to spare. Thanks to all concerned for a nice afternoon out. All the best, Paul

    I went with my grandson who is 11, so is old enough to appreciate the modelling, and not just needing to see trains moving. There was a good selection of layouts, and only two were at a height that he found difficulty seeing. However, one of these was an 0 gauge MPD which he was able to stand a bit away and see the locos. He was quite impressed, especially when later we saw some of other models from this layout and told all the large steam engines were built from kits. He also took photos of other layouts, so he was generally impressed with the quality of layouts on display, especially Tellindalloch (?), which had 70 hand built trees. The whole effect of this layout was really good. It had the usual cross section of suppliers but I had not taken a list of what I wanted with me so I was limited in what I bought. (I have learnt that if I think I do not have a certain colour paint, when I get home I find that I already have three of them.) A 2ft and a 6" inch ruler were a find though. I was pleased to see a number of families there, so it appears that it was advertised locally, and it appeared that all the children there were enjoying themselves. All in all, we both enjoyed the show, and it was well worth going to. Well done all those involved.

    If you know me then drop by my layout at the show - Kaninchenbau - and have a chat, would be nice to see the faces for the names seen on the forum 😀

    Only managed a brief visit to the show this morning showed a good range of layouts and traders at a very reasonable entry fee. Friendly club members running the show were very helpful too. Well worth a visit.

    It has been some time since I last went to an exhibition and this one, whilst more than an hour away from me with no direct public transport route available, offers a wide range of suppliers / trade stands and some of the layouts that I have found inspirational from the modelling press. Not being as large as Warley, I feel it will be much more "do-able" in one full day whereas anything larger and you feel you have missed part of it. I will be ordering bits from a few suppliers (Alan Gibson, Green Scene, ModelU at least) in advance so I can pick up my needs on the day.
