I went to the East Miidlands Narrow Gaauge Group show today. My Financial Advisor and Chief Wallet Watcher in the form of Mrs. Woody accompanied me - just to keep an eye on things she said!
We went last year and there were some nice layouts but this year the event had doubled in size and the tsandard of layouts was fantastic. We were particulraly taken by this one, Tony's Forest, a 7mm scale running on TT gauge track.
The detail on the scenery was stunning.
There was also some nice rolling stock.
Bunkers Lane was an 009 gauge layout and unusually for an exhibition layout it was scenic on both sides and one end, whilst the other end serbved as a fiddle yard - all very innovative.
Derwent Road was arn 009 gauge layout with a modern feel of a preservation line set in the midst of a housing estate. Very well done!#
Proving you don't need masses of space, this layout on a traders stand was only about two and a half feet long by about 18 inches deep.
I will cover some of the other layouts tomorrow and a rather special tribute to yours truely!
