Model Engineering

Buckinghamshire Garden Railway Society who exhibited with us in 2008 picked up the prize for 'Best Moving Model' and it was well deserved for their G-Scale 'white leaf light railway' stood 66' in length and 19' wide and really did attract a continuous crowd over the 2 days. 

Stirling Engine Society will have a varied selection of stirling engines on display at the event and all the engines shown will be in motion throughout the weekend.

Salisbury & District Model Engineering Society cover a broad canvas, ranging from 3 1/2" and 5" gauge steam and electric locomotives and other miniature gauges.  Sundials, machine tooling, fine scale aeroplanes, helicopters and model boats, stationary steam engines to whatever your interests happen to be. Here are just a couple examples of their models which may be on display
