The Woolwich Model Railway Show took place at the nearby Shrewsbury House on Sunday 15th December. It was organised by Dawn Quest (a journalist and TV producer), who has a YouTube channel and website devoted to railway modelling.
Sue and I were very lucky in that I was able to park in one of the three onsite disabled parking bays, which meant that we were almost right outside the front door. It cost a total of £7.00 to get in as we are over 60-years-old and I am disabled.
The following photographs give some idea of the range of layouts that were on display, including two built by Dawn Quest.
This impressive layout used almost entirely 3D printed buildings, rolling stock, vehicles etc.
This simple oval and siding layout depicted a British First World War casualty clearing station and hospital.
The LadyKillers (00)
This is Dawn Quest's second and newest exhibition layout. It is based on the location of the 1955 film of that name.
Gamma Silo Rotatory (On30/O)
Brief Encounter (00)
This was Dawn Quest's first exhibition layout. It is in monochrome ... just as the original 1945 film was.
Hengist Road (00)
Little Narrow (00)
Asham Cement Works (009)
Staffordshire Potteries (N)
The exhibitor also had a small, circular, festive layout on show.
Four Feather Falls (Triple O)
I always wanted a Lone Star Treble O Electric train set when I was a young teenager ... but it was not to be.
Tsurlito Japanese layout in a fish tank (HO)
This layout gave the impression that the train was actually going though the water!
Round Trees OO
The exhibitor also had a small additional layout ('The Lady Killed Her') on show.
Volkes Vest HOe
Thomas Tank Engine & Friends (1)
These models were featured in the original 'Thomas the Tank Engine' TV series.
D-Ikea Kato diorama (N)
These wonderful modules were all created on IKEA cork mats.
There were also a number of 'model railways in a case' layouts on show.
Due to to light conditions in the venue and the crowds (I was jostled a lot, particularly by small children who were anxious to see the exhibits), the quality of some of the photographs are not as good as I would have hoped.

Looks like a fantastic show Bob. So much modelling skill and ingenuity!
