Blackpool Model Railway Show

The Blackpool model railway exhibition is on this weekend, see HERE

Had a nice visit to the Blackpool show with Alec on Saturday, it wasn't the biggest show we have been to, but there were some interesting layouts to see, my favourite was the Oldham layout modelled at the end of steam, the engines and scenery were very dirty and grubby looking just as they were in real life at that time, nothing like the preserved steam lines we see today set on nice country branch lines with nice clean polished up engines and rolling stock, there was an interesting Japanese layout too, with some of the trains similar to the ones we are familiar with from the default MSTS routes, plus some bullet trains too.
