The 2021 exhibition was another great success with fourteen layouts attending. There were
twelve diverse scale/gauge combinations on show including those in 0-36.75, 0, 0-16.5, On30, P4, EM, 00, 00-9,
H0, British N, 2mm/ft finescale and American N. As always, something for everyone!
Layouts traveled from as far away as Cornwall, Derbyshire, Dorset, East Sussex, East Yorkshire,
Hampshire, Kent, Leicestershire, Middlesex, South Glamorgan, Surrey and Warwickshire portraying British,
Irish, American and French broad, standard and narrow gauge prototypes.
Seventeen members of the trade, including specialist manufacturers, had a presence at the show. This year we welcomed
several new members of the trade to the exhibition, Compass Miniature Railways & Models, Dingo Servo Mounts, The Wagon Yard and Monk's
Gate Models. Unfortunately C & L Finescale Track Building Systems could only be with us for the Saturday. Their space was ably filled
on the Sunday by another new trader, Classic Rail. There was a display by the model engineers from the Bentley Miniature Railway as well
as popular demonstration stands manned by guest Roger Sawyer (soldering) and Club member Paul Harding-Mabbs (2mm/ft scale modelling).
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.
