Steyning

A day out with your mates, is how I generally describe the Steyning exhibition. Yes it is public, but for some reason there is a high proportion of what I call proper modellers. Not in some sort of elitist way, more that they make things in the traditional sense. The good Reverend pictured seated behind Drovers Brook is a good case in point with very little of his 1:32 scale layout bought in.  Beyond (in his eyeline) is Alan Monk with the HO scale Dounreay, again, much proper modelling in evidence.

Drovers Brook performed almost faultlessly, which considering that it's not designed for exhibiting and the amount of lash-up to get it there. Not to mention the return of the low trestles, not seen since the AotC went out.

Lots of interested punters and a great deal of chat. A day out with your mates.
