Sleaford Model Makers Show 2023 - Part 2!

 Following on from yesterdays look at the kit building part of the Sleaford Model Makers Show today lets have a look at some other stuff starting with an 0 gauge model railway which had a real presnce to it as you would expect with a 7mm layout. 

I do like Class 25 locos and seeing this one in 7mm scale started me thinking - then reality and Mrs. Woody kicked in! However I can dream!

The backscene was particularly well done with the perspectives well thought out.

Something I have not seen on a model railway or in real life is a station spanning a stream. Well modelled and I do like the wooden part of the platform that spans the stream. Something to remember!

Probably about 12 foot long its not massive but shows you can model 0 gauge in a modest space.

I do love that Bedford Dormobile conversion - very sought after these days!

An early form of contanirisation!

Staying with 7mm ) gauge these wagons caught my eye. Really nicely weathered.

They were part of these two rakes of wagons - nice!

With Christmas coming this layout had a nice theme!

I do have an N gauge layout which is not very advanced but I am always attracted to the scale as I really started in it many years ago. This was a nice smallish layout which still managed to run long trains.

Staying with N gauge this was another nice small layout, probably about 4 foot by 2 - Mrs. W approves of small layouts!

Never seen one in person until this show but seen a number of these Pandemic specials in magazines and on the web. These were a downloadable kit of card buildings to build into a box file. It does look good though and runs 009 narrow gauge track and stock. Even more to Mrs. W's liking given its size!

Another one that Mrs. W would approve of was this 009 pizza layout.

It certainly was packed with details.

Moving on the 1:16th scale radio controlled tanks were out which reminds me I have a couple of thoses!

There were also a lot of other models which show just how varied the whole model making hobby is.

And finally if you ever missed a kit from years ago chances are you can still get it - at a price. Have a look at these oldies!

I'm certainly hoping to b back next year. And by the way all profits as far as I know go to the Lincs Air Ambulance which is great!
