The 2012 exhibition was another great success with fourteen layouts attending. There were
twelve diverse scale/gauge combinations on show including those in G-9, S7, 0, 0-16.5, S, P4, EM, 00, 00-9, H0,
2mm/ft scale and 2mm/ft finescale. Once again something for everyone! Layouts traveled from as far away
as Devon, Kent, Middlesex, Norfolk, Nottinghamshire, Somerset, Surrey, West Sussex and Yorkshire
portraying British, American, Italian & French standard and narrow gauge prototypes.
Twelve members of the trade, including specialist manufacturers, had a presence at the show. Unfortunately
Plus Daughters had to pull out at the very last minute due to the whole family coming down with the flu the week before.
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 David Bickerton, who brought along Mulberry Vale, his new layout under construction.
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.
