009 Society 50th Birthday Exhibition

Today was the exhibition to celebrate the 50th Birthday of the 009 Society.

They hired the large exhibition hall at Statford Bard Railway for a members day.

There were 55 layouts in one room, super modelling on display and plenty of interesting people to talk to.

Here are a selection of snaps. As always click on a photo for a larger image.

Little Himalayan Railway, 8 metres of track on a 80cm diameter baseboard, and it still looks spacious!
Tren Llanfair a lovely model of Castle Caereinion
I do like a bit of W&L
Cracking scenic modelling by Martyn Harrison
Glendale by Andy Cundick built on an old coffee table
Lots of interesting, well modelled scenes
The railway even passed between the houses

Great to see a Carl Arendt design made real

    • Hi Michael, Yes it was a good event. Really nice to see the two layouts you brought.
      I did see you on Saturday but you were eating lunch and I decided not to interupt you because I imagined you needed a break!
      I just wanted to say ‘Hi’ and thank you for all the advice you’ve given me on the NGRM forum. Much appreciated!
