- On 28th April I visited the Bristol Model Railway Exhibition which is being held at the Thornbury Leisure Centre.
On display were 30+ layouts of various sizes and gauges and about 56 trade stands.
This exhibition was held over three days between 28th April to 30th April 2023 and on the day in which I attended there were large numbers of visitors.
The exhibition was very well organised with a detailed plan within the show guide as three halls were being used.
In this part 4 video I have covered 4 layouts:
Thursley O Gauge
The Parlour Railway O Broad Gauge
Horse Creek - Wyoming HO Gauge
Heybridge Wharf 3mm Finescale
I would like to thank all of the exhibitors as the quality of the layouts on display were to a very high standard.
Lastly a mention about the venue, Thornbury Leisure Centre was a very good choice as the facilities on offer were first class.
Yet again i have seen only one train with driver in cab and guard in brake van, others are a waste of space, with empty ghost trains. Disgruntled retired BR train driver.
I love the large scale models used on the Early Days of the Railway layout. Gorgeous piece of work!!
I remember standing at the Shelbyville Freight Depot in Indiana, waiting for a train to bring my cousin host’s stock in from other locations in the States!! The train I was awaiting was hauled by a Big Boy!!
I’m going to admit that I absolutely adore layouts based on British locations. But I also can’t help admiring the TGV in France.
We do not get a many French layouts at uk exhibitions, but if I come across any I will certainly include it in my video.
Did I see an S160 on one of the layouts, which seems to depict American H0 Gauge?
I do like American layouts especially when they have sound.
Am I right in thinking that Tursley is modelled in 00? Or is it N?
Many thanks for your comment. Thursley is O gauge.
Great video again, I really love that broad gauge display (I guess it's in the O gauge 1/32scale), a perhaps a non realistic, different approach with that indirectly light from beneath and so on, but never the less, a beautiful and original display, a great inspiration.
Which they made broad gauge in 1/76 scale like they make the 009 small gauge…
Cheers, Danny
Many thanks for your comment, I think the owner of The Parlour Railway also owns Bristol Goods Shed layout. If I bump into him at another exhibition I will ask the question regarding the track.
Great video as a Dutch member of the Broad Gauge Society I liked the presentation of the 1:43,5 Broad Gauge rolling stock and engines . Groeten uit Nederland.
Glad you enjoyed it
