British narrow gauge (esp. Southwold and W&LLR)
Visited there for the first time yesterday and must say I was really impressed! The 2' NG line is short but has quite a good range of locos including, I was pleased to see, three plate frame Simplexes which are variations of the model I'm in the process of completing.
The model railway exhibits are absolutely brilliant. It's clear the owner is a real enthusiast who has put a lot of effort into displaying really good quality mdelling. Also makes a change to see every model in full working order. They even have the wonderful 2mm model of Chiltern Green - though the lad looking after it did apologise that the semaphore signals weren't fully operational ( though were made to work).
I can honestly say, I was really very favourably impressed. There's also plenty for kids to do. Get 'em interested early.....
I'd post some photos but can't transfer them to my computer at the moment.
