The 2014 Exhibition (7th and 8th June 2014)
The third show to take place in it's Summer time slot (and the last one before the show returns in October 2015), the 2014 exhibition (Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th June) was held once more at Wigan's Robin Park Sports Centre, opposite the JJB Stadium. 40 layouts were present once again in all sizes, scales and eras to suit every taste, supplemented by traders and modelling demonstrations.
The 2014 show also saw the incorporation of the North West Festival of Diesel & Electric Layouts event, meaning a fair presence of modern image layouts (1960's to present).
What follows is the usual selection of pictures taken on the Saturday of the show, with 20 layouts getting attention. As ever,
