It was a big show and what follows is only a very small taster. Here are some models that particularly took my fancy:

3.5" gauge model of LILLA built by Fred Winsall of the Rugby Model Engineering Society

" gauge model of an "ALICE" class loco. This is a modified 7.25" design and is a large loco for 5". Built by J Fysh of Derbyshire

5" gauge model of TALYLLYN built by G Smith of the Burton on Trent Model Engineering Society

American 2-4-4 Mason Bogie (known as a Single Fairlie in the UK) built by I Tricklebank displayed on the 7¼" Gauge Society stand
