Modelworld

Not really sure if this is the right place for this but just thought I'd mention Modelworld at Brighton next month http://www.brightonmodelworld.com
I went a few years ago and thought it was quite good, a real mixed bag with lots to see and something for most interests.

Thanks Squiffy. I was there three years ago (I think) and was recovering from depression so wasn't completely with it. I do remember there was a huge variety, really something for everybody; boats, tanks, aeroplanes, cars, railways, model engineering, robots, displays, demonstrations, RC and static, tool stalls, fittings stalls, kits, etc. There were two huge (to me) locomotives about 9" gauge. If I've missed anything it's probably because I've forgotten rather than it not being there. Probably the worst part is parking in Brighton, do it legally or get towed away!

first of all welcome to the forums croakle.
Brighton modelworld is a good show to go to, as croakle said there is all sorts of models from plastic models to model engineering groups, and then there are the trade stands.
and the two locomotives were 10 1/4" guage from the southdown light railway.

Well i rang them today, sounds intresting and isnt too expensive. They expect 11k people through the doors over a three day period. Ive got some workings out to do. Thanks for the info...priceless literally!

as for the parking use the park and ride set up from the race course, i think it may even be free !

looks like i wont be at this show, its 3 days long with a day for setting up and as they only have 10k through the door inst really worth it. (biggin hill has 50k a day!) Pity as it looked a fun show...
