This weekend was the annual Model Railway show, I was surprised that when I turned up at lunch time I still had to queue to get in ! , it was well attended - a lot of grey haired older men . but a lot of families with small children which was nice to see.
Once again I was taken by the scenery as much as the model trains .
A herd of cows , those hedgerows look so realistic !
This layout had a film studio as a theme .
The cars in the carpark even moved about !
Look at that water feature ! - so realistic !
I did take the occasional photo of the actual trains as well .
The chute actually tipped gravel into the trucks .
These diesel motors remind me of our local railway as a child.
Most of the layouts had miniature lighting systems - micro technology at it's best !
Those cliffs cry out to be scaled by a team of WW2 Commandos .
Love this rural scene .
Oh dear a funeral at the local church - wonder you passed away ?
I came away feeling enthused by the positivity of the whole show , I know it isn't wargaming but it is a close cousin and I enjoy it immensely ! "a grand day out" !
