The 2008 exhibition was another great success with fifteen layouts attending. There were
twelve different scale/gauge combinations on show including those in 0, 0-16.5, 1:50 scale, S,
P4, EM, 00, 00-9, H0, 3mm/ft scale, British N and Z. Something for everyone! Layouts traveled
from as far away as the Netherlands, Devon, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Somerset, Suffolk,
Surrey and Warwickshire, portraying British, American and European standard and narrow gauge.
Twelve members of the trade, including specialist manufacturers, had a presence at the show.
We had one new trader at the show, Realistic Modelling Services, who supplied all those scenic
materials that you need. There was a display by the model engineers from the Bentley Miniature Railway as well as
the popular demonstration stand, this year with guest demonstrator Iain Rice.
The show was very successful, with many comments being received as to the high quality of
the exhibits, the variety of trade goods on offer and the general friendliness of those
taking part.
