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.
