Sleaford Model Railway Show

Mrs. Woody was insistent that I take her to the Sleaford Model Railway show on Staurday. Well that was in my dream but she did accompany me. A small one day show with some interesting layouts and some good traders some of whom benefitted from my wallets contents!

This 0 gauge narrow gauge layout, Salthaven Quay was particularly detailed. The interiors of most of the buildings had been modelled with incredible detail such as individual apples and bananas in the green grocers. The night time lighting was also unusual.

This 00 gauge layout that I didn't get the name of was a very detailed steel works with industrial locos moving steel products.

There were other layouts but I am drawn to the small layouts and dioramas of which there were a few.

This 3 foot by 1 foot layout was for sale and no doubt most people could find space for it.

I was quite taken by this circular 00 and 009 gauge layout which was nicely done.

Probably the smallest layout at the show but it worked!

Some highly detailed dioramas which were worth a close look.
