Penarth Model Railway Show

It's a heatwave, so what better way to stay out of the sun than looking at some model trains? Bryan joined me at the Barry and Penarth Model Railway Club's annual show.


There were a mix of lay-outs ranging from early twentieth century through to modern image. 






Narrow-guage railways were also represented.


There were a few micro-layouts, including one built inside a brie cheese box!




But there were two that really stood out. The first was a monochrome layout paying tribute to the classic film Brief Encounter. It was a very clever lay-out made to look like a black and white movie.


The creator, Rachel Quest, has her own YouTube channel. She also clearly has a sense of humour!



And Bryan and I both really liked Karolina Falls, an American frontier town with a waterfall featuring real water (!) and lots of funny little features including a curious moose!






So, lots of inspiration for if I ever get round to reviving my model railway.
