The Northern Modelling Exhibition was held over the weekend at Event City in Dumplington. There were dozens of models on display and in action, from very large aeroplanes, boats and trucks to slot car racing and trains. Plenty of fun for all the family, especially at those stands that allowed youngsters to try their hand at racing or constructing. This is part of the impressively realistic Timpdon Lake outdoor railway.
This is so adorable, I like a lot the green door, a perfect model house.I would love visiting this exhibition, thanks for sharing your pictures!

Model trains are so neat. I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into recreating the scenes. That's passion!
ReplyDeletethese little displays are so neat aren't they? they have a really cool one at the Museum of Transportation in Roanoke but it was so hard to get a good pic because it was enclosed in plastic...i like your shot of the blurred train!
ReplyDeleteI wonder who had the most fun here Chrissy, the kids or the grown ups (Dads probably!!)
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine turned his garage into a miniature train room with mountains, creeks and tunnels. He had a couple of trains and ran than at every opportunity. I like this set up a lot.
ReplyDeleteI was quite into model railways as a teenager. These days I much prefer real locos.
ReplyDeleteThis would be heaven for kids of all ages. I always wanted a train set when I was a kid. We couldn't afford one. But my best friend, who had well-to-do parents had a magnificent one. I was jealous!
ReplyDeleteOur new site is up and running and in the future we'll be posting on the blogs on that site. Come and visit!

Wow the detail in those houses is amazing, right down to the net curtains! Fun shot of the train.
ReplyDeleteI like the moving train.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dream.

Cute, would have liked to have gone to this. Have you seen the minature world in Hamburg? It's amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN_oDdGmKyA
ReplyDeleteVery cool shot, Chrissy. I love the motion blur and the scale catches you out at first.
