An overall view of the Main Hall part of the show, shortly before opening
time. |

Stephen Austin, the well-known railway author, brought his stand of Southern
memorabilia. |
Cecil Newby likes big toys! This layout featured mainly American style stock
making lots of noise and smoke! |

 |
| The Hornby Railway Collectors Association's
Vintage Hornby 0 Gauge collection is a reminder of what many of us started
with. At two o'clock on Sunday afternoon a new record was set here when a
goods train was hauled by no less than ten clockwork engines! |
|
John Bowler's Penewarnick Quarry is a small H0n9 layout and shows just what
can be achieved in a small space. John was never short of an audience during
the show. |
|
Low Burnham, owned by Stuart Morris, is an 0 Gauge model based on the
Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. |
|
|
|
| Andy Jones is another regular visitor who brings a
different layout each time. This year he brought Newburn, a layout with a
little less water than we are used to from him! |
|
|
|
| Last year Paddy Ryder brought his N Gauge layout
'Spirit of the Great Western', but by this year it had become
'Spirit of the Southern'. A great improvement! |
|
|
|
| John Ferrier is another regular whose layout uses
old Hornby - in this case the three rail 00 Gauge Hornby Dublo equipment. |

|
| Penhallick was at our Exhibition in 2003 and asked
if they could return again this year. In the meantime it has grown another four
feet beyond the buffer stops (right). |
|
Spencer Robinson had a display table of his hand-made signals in various
scales. |
Edwin Adcot was demonstrating what can be done with whitemetal castings. |
