The 2018 Exhibition (6th and 7th October)
The 51st show to take place at Robin Park Sports Centre in Wigan for the 4th Autumn in a row, the 2018 exhibition saw no less than 30 layouts in attendance, in the usual variety of scales, eras, settings and things to suit all tastes.
As with last year, the show was downgraded to 2 halls again due to the 3rd undergoing refurbishment. That however, didn't deter the crowds from coming many miles to enjoy what the show had to offer. From N to 0 gauge, from Wales to Switzerland, there was just about something for everyone.
This year for the first time ever, I was in attendance on both days to record all 30 layouts (and one being displayed as a 'work in progress' piece) in attendance. What follows is the layouts witnessed and photographed.
