2006 Exhibition
Another successful exhibition was held over the weekend of 11/12 November, the 16th that we have held.
Once again we had a quiz for the under-16s, designed principally to get them looking more closely at the layouts. There were only two correct entries this year, though another eight just half a point behind them, which were put into a "hat" (in reality, a cardboard box) and the winner, Arthur Pearson age 6, was drawn from them.
Below are some photos from the 2006 Exhibition.

Wadebridge
An overall view of part of the show.

Mayor
Stephen Austin, the well-known railway author, brought his stand of Southern memorabilia. Stephen is standing on the right.
Layout
Spirit of the Great Western is an N gauge layout built by Paddy Ryder, but it takes a few to operate it!

Layout
Lee Johns is a regular at our exhibitions - always with a different layout. This time it was Woodford East, a locomotive MPD in 00.
Layout
Kleinberg is a fictitious N gauge line set in Bavaria and built by the Redruth Amcon Group.

Layout
Michael Errington built this innovative 00 gauge layout literally on an ironing board! You can see the legs through the gap in the curtains.

Layout
Andy Jones is another regular visitor who brings different layouts. This year he brought Dead End which, as do all his layouts, features lots of water!
Layout
Albert Kiernan of the Cornwall 0 Gauge Group ready to meet the public when the doors opened on Sunday.

Layout
Wenfordbridge Goods Depot is a layout built by John Greenwood in fine-scale 2mm and with a track gauge of 9.42mm.
Layout
Bernie Porter's Vintage Hornby 0 Gauge is a great reminder of the hobby in the past. Many of us started with these tinplate models.

Layout
John Ferrier is another regular whose layout, similarly with Bernie's, uses old Hornby - this time using three rail 00 gauge Hornby Dublo equipment.

Layout
Malpas Quay is one of Hayle MRC's layouts and is based on the old line that used to run down to Truro's Newham station.
Layout
Cecil Newby is another who likes big toys! This layout featured mainly American style stock making lots of noise and smoke!

Layout
David Worth shows just what can be done in HO in a very small space with his Pump Trolley Line
Trader
We do not normally feature Traders in our report, but as Ted Chatfield had a gorgeous Aster live steam Gauge 1 model of WADEBRIDGE on his stand, how could we not include it?
