The 2026 exhibition was another great success with nineteen layouts attending. There were twelve
diverse scale/gauge combinations on show including those in 0, 0-16.5, 1:50 scale, S, P4, EM, 00, 00-28, 00-9, H0, TT,
and 2mm/ft finescale. As always, something for everyone!
Layouts traveled from as far away as Bristol, County Durham, Denbighshire, Gloucestershire,
Hampshire, Kent, Leicestershire, North Yorkshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Surrey, West Sussex and Wiltshire
portraying British, American and Continental broad, standard and narrow gauge prototypes.
The show once again incorporated Scalefour Southeast, a Scalefour Society regional event,
which featured the Society's Information Stand and the Scalefour Stores, along with associated P4 layouts and demonstration stands.
We also had The 2mm Scale Association Roadshow with demonstrations, publication sales and two
layouts constructed to 2mm finescale track & wheel standards.
Twenty one members of the trade, including specialist manufacturers, had a presence at the show. Unfortunately
Branchlines and Cambrian Model Rail were unable to attend due to family illness, we hope to see them back for 2027.
There was a display by the model engineers from the Bentley Miniature Railway as well as the popular demonstration
stand 'Soldering for Beginners' by guest Roger Sawyer.
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.
