An unexpected visit to this exhibition that nearly didn't happen. I was only reminded about it this morning when I looked at an email and suddenly had to inform Mrs. Woody that I was taking her out for the afternoon. I didn't say where but getting near the venue I think there was a realisation for Mrs. W as we followed the signs to the 'Model railway Show' that her afternoon out was not going to be for afternoon tea!
The Bingham Club show is one of those small but cosy and friendly shows and it was again this year - well worth the £5 admission.
There were around 20 layouts, some demonstrations and several traders - more than enough for Mrs. W to enjoy!
Most of the layouts were modest sized ones that individuals had built. There were a couple of club layouts too and most scales were represented.
In 0 gauge, Denton Sidings showed that you don't need a massive space for an interesting 7mm scale layout. Just under 12 foot by 2 foot wide and packed with details. A real credit to its builder.
Another layout that took my eye was this n gauge layout, Burdock, which whilst being nothing more than a tail chaser was actually operated as such with only a few seconds between trains. A great selection of prototype locomotives featured on the trains as well as the ducks! And there were a lot of them!
Some other interesting layouts and I will look at those tomorrow.
