East Midlands Narrow Gauge Modellers Group show - some humour as well as a couple of other things!

Still at the East Midlands Narrow Gauge Modellers Group  show, there was some humour about.

What is this on a railway????

Of course it is Thomas the Tank Engine!

Then of course there is that famous locomotive, Mallard!

There was a Christmas themed 'pizza' layout which was nice.

And then there was Santa having a summer break layout!

Then there was this fantastic 009 Deltic prototype loco on a small layout!

Back to sensibility but keeping it small this layout is the size of two A4 sheets of paper and folds in half - you really cannot say you don't have space for a layout!

Apart from meeting Steve from Steve's Narrow Gauge Adventure blog I also had the great pleasure to unexpectedly meet James and Dylan from Dylington Model Railway YouTube channel - click here to see that. Dylan is a young but very talanted modeller and also a very capable video maker with stop frame animation being something that he excels in. Have a look at his latest video to see why I say that.


Dylan also had his 'in progress' 009 layout on display as part of a Paul Lunn lecture on designing a layout . Whilst at an early stage you can see why this will be a great layout just from the skills demonstrated in building the various structures.
