The 2011 exhibition was another great success with fourteen layouts attending. There were
ten diverse scale/gauge combinations on show including those in 0, 0-16.5, 0-9, S, P4, 00, 00-9, H0,
3mm/ft finescale and British N. Once again something for everyone! Layouts traveled from as far away
as Devon, East Sussex, Hampshire, Kent, Lancashire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Surrey and Wiltshire
portraying British and American broad, standard and narrow gauge prototypes.
Thirteen 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, this year
with guest demonstrators Barry Luck, who showed our visitors the art of 4mm/ft scale locomotive construction, and
Jeff & Pete Day who brought along part of their new layout project based on the GWR station Sandford & Banwell.
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.
