Stapleford Park Miniature Railway Miniatures and Models Weekend June 2022 Part 1

Somewhere that I have not been to since 2008 but longed to see again is Stapleford Park Miniature Railway and this weekend it is their Miniatures and Models Weekend. I had a great time and Mrs. Woody did as well I think, as she got an ice cream, although due to my deep pockets and short arms she did have to pay for it although no doubt I will pay in the long run!

I will talk about the railway tomorrow as there was a lot to see. You knew it was going to be interesting as we got out of the car and this went by....

There was a marque with some fantastic models in it which must have taken the builders hours and hours to make.

Outside there were plenty of miniature steam and traction engines and even a tractor or two, some with registration plates so road legal although you would not get anywhere fast and it would take a few hours to steam up just to go to the shops! However just imagine the fun it would be.

There was even a brass band playing!

In addition to all of the above and the railway which I will talk about tomorrow there were trade stalls and unfortunately one of them had some interesting  model railway items some of which I now have! Oh dear! Something else I will be paying for now!
