[Gremlin]

Driving along Hyndburn road today I saw a sign advertising a Model Railway Exhibition in the Hyndburn Sports centre. Nowt better to do so I popped in for ten minutes and came out two hours later. I was amazed at the quality and size of the layouts, it's on Sunday as well if you fancy taking the kids or re-living your youth.

No.1 Looking down from the balcony.
No.2 Wishful thinking.
No.3 Station that never was. (I think).
No.4 Liverpool Lime street station.
No.5 Ditto.
No.6 An American paper mill model rail yard.
No.7 Proper smoke from model shop fire.
No.8 Another busy station.
No.9 The big layout was controlled from this panel and run to a strict schedule.
No.10 Part of the big layout.

If you look closely at the last picture you can see the effort the modellers have put in to get it as authentic as possible.
Notice the policeman frisking the chap outside the cannabis cafe, in the window of the Wilkinsons Hi Fi shop at the end there were two tiny model TV's flickering away in the window.

I was lucky that I always carry my little pocket camera with me.
