As I know if you read this blog on a regular basis that Mrs. Woody likes to attend model railway shows so today I took her to the Market Deeping Show held at Stamford. You may recall that back in 2019, the Club suffered a disastrous bout of vandalism when having set the show up the night before opening a group of four teenagers broke in and trashed many of the exhibits. It hit the national media and many celebrities' such as Rod Stewart gave donations to help out. That dark past has gone and since the Pandemic the show has grown from strength to strength. Indeed it is always a show of variety with many layouts that I have never seen or heard of before.
This year was no exception and something I have never seen before was this Chinese model railway layout.
Built by a British modeller who just likes to do things no one has done before it was certainly a big attraction.
China was one of the last countries in the World to run mainline steam and this layout had plenty of it with many of the locos, including the diesels, being DCC sound fitted.
It certainly caught the atmosphere of the China I have seen through the media and I am told that those who have been to China to see the railways say the layout is fully authentic.
The best way to see this layout is in the flesh but here is the next best thing - a video clip!
