Our 20th Exhibition

was held on
Saturday & Sunday 16th/17th October 2004

at the
Uckfield Civic Centre
Civic Approach, Uckfield
East Sussex

The exhibition was a great success with seventeen layouts attending. There were twelve different scale/gauge combinations on show including those in 0, 0-16.5, S, P4, EM, 00, 00-9, H0, H0m, TT and N. Layouts traveled from as far away as Bristol, Dorset, Essex, Leicestershire, Oxfordshire, Surrey and the West Midlands, portraying British, American and European standard and narrow gauge prototypes.

Fourteen members of the trade, including specialist manufacturers, had a presence at the show. There was a display by the model engineers from the Bentley Miniature Railway as well as the popular demonstration stand.

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.

Throughout the weekend the visiting public was asked what layout they thought was the "Best in Show". The large 00 layout Vauxhall Road, constructed by Bob Farrell & Ivan Herne, picked up the most votes and they were presented with a special plaque for mounting on the layout.
