On Sunday I attended the Crawley Model Railway Society as part of the Seaboard Southern club, hosting the NMRA stand. We had our N Gauge demonstration layout and a table with promotional flyers and poster advertising the club and the NMRA.
As it turned out, the show was held on the same day as the nearby Epsom model railway show, an unfortunate clash which meant that the potential audience for both shows was diluted, and on top of that it was a gloriously sunny day so the attendance was not particularly high.
The show comprised of over forty trade stands and layouts, spread out over two halls, there was a canteen serving hot food and drinks, and a live steam railway outside offering rides for visitors.
Among the layouts there were several US outline layouts on display, and trader LSWR models was there with a selection of US ready to run rolling stock and locomotives.
It was a long day spent manning our display, talking to visitors and potential new members for the club, and running the layout or supervising the various children who stopped by to have a go at operating tiny n gauge trains. Lots of fun was had by all who visited our corner of the show.
