Apart from the freezing cold weather it was a cracking weekend in Brighton. Three whole
days of Brighton Model World. Just about everything you could expect from a range of
modelling skills. From the smallest gauge model railways to large scale (5") model
engineering; model cars, boats and trucks; robotwars; and even some daleks. With
plenty of good trader support it was an excellent weekend.
Once again we had one screen running a new video from Train Artisan showing some of
the capabilities of the their new TA Railways product.
We also demonstrated Bala Hub, North West England, Skipton Carlisle 1920, MidEast,
Yorkshire Coast, Cannock Chase, Blackpool Tramway and on the Saturday we were joined
by Dave Corfield who ably demonstrated his latest updates to Thames Mersey.
We were joined for the three days by Lad491 who had always wanted a photograph taken
of himself with a Dalek. We obliged. As an avid Dr Who fan we got Matt in on the act
as well, top line second photo.
Matt was also very pleased to meet up with his Tomorrows World / Model Railway hero
Bob Symes, top line last photo.
There were also some excellent tram layouts at the exhibition, I'm sure Terry and Doug
plus other tram people would have enjoyed.
And for the second time on the exhibition circuit we met up with a group who had built
a modular layout. You may recall this is a layout where individuals each build a section
of maybe 4 to 6 feet long with each module having a 2, 3 or 4 track line running along
the front so that all modules can be linked together. Line 2 photo 1 clearly shows that
these modellers have modelled different countries yet still have the ability to join
all the modules into a single layout for exhibition purposes.
We would like to thank the Brighton Model World organisation team for the invitation
to attend and look forward to meeting you all again next year.
