Took a few photographs on the day. Below are some of the award winning Hambleden Valley Railway. I must confess it was the first time I have seen this layout. It is absolutely enchanting. I have never seen live steam being run so slowly with such complete control. To see live steam shunting was a joy. The photographs are not as sharp as I would have liked. The light was such that to get a reasonable shutter speed I have to use a wide appature, resulting in a shallow deapth of field.

Also present was the Timpdon Lake Railway. This is actually from the dark side, 16mm, but the modelling is brilliant. I have seen and photographed this layout many times but I always feel inspired by it. I took the additional photos below just to inspire me to be a better modeller.

Last but not least some photographs of Kleinback. Again I have seen this layout many times, always worth a viewing as it combines trams, running in the street, with a railway. It shows what can be achieved with R1 pointwork. According to the show blurb this will peobably be its last outing, as Andy Saulter is planning a new and improved layout.

Despite the lighting limitations, a great set of photos; thank you for sharing them.
The detail on Timpdon Lake is stunning!

Erm, why is the donkey looking up the blokes bum?
I just love the sense of humour most modellers share, no matter what nationality.
