Show pictures

Photographs taken at Model Railway shows in the UK

These are pictures of layouts that caught my eye at the shows I visited and had my camera with me. The layouts are usually American as that is my interest. Some are public shows, others are NMRA meets. For work reasons I did not attend any shows for about two years from autumn 2009 to October 2011.

I only started to take a camera to shows in 2004 and my initial experiments showed flash to give poor results, as well as blinding everyone. I now take most of my pictures without flash; my digital camera copes remarkably well with this, but I always try to steady the camera as the long exposure time makes blurring a serious problem.

For earlier shows I have not attempted to add any comments to pictures beyond the name and scale of the layout. But where I have more information (mainly later shows where I usually buy the show guide so I can put more information in here) or there is something else I wish to comment on there will be a fuller text below the picture.
