As I mentioned previously, there was a model exhibition being held at the Sunderland Trust Museum in Pembroke Dock today, and we were invited to exhibit there.
We decided to take Pats excellent 'Maes Y Gof' 7mm narrow gauge layout depicting a smith at work in his forge, and the station and environs that grew up around the smithy.
Pat and I also took Pats N gauge 'Western' themed mini layout.
Plenty of room at the venue - here is Pat making the final adjustments to the Western layout. This layout ran faultlessly without any attention for a solid five hours...
To the left of Patrick 'Maes Y Gof' was already set up and running. This proved to be a big hit with old and young, particularly the 'animal' spotting... this could lead to some kind of competition with small prizes - something worth thinking about...
Lots of familiar faces amongst the exhibitors - Ron Weatherall came across the river from Johnston (now that the toll has been lifted) and brought along part of his collection of Silcox busses and coaches:
And hot on our heels all the way from North Pembrokeshire was fellow Cardi-Bach member Roger Howells with his model aircraft collection. I managed to snap Roger setting up before the hoardes descended...
A most enjoyable and busy exhibition - full marks to Pembroke Modellers for organising the event, and the venue is well worth a visit should you venture down that way.
Thank you, Peter and your Club.
Next week Chuffers are at Herrington Light Industries, so who knows whats in store...
Prynhawn da, Shaun.
