15th Great Year - Great Hall, Alexandra Palace - A Capital Day Out. The South's Largest Model Engineering and Modelling Exhibition takes place in January at Alexandra Palace. It will bring together model engineers, craftsmen and model making enthusiasts in a vibrant, interactive show.
This leading exhibition for model engineers will continue to enthral visitors and enthusiasts alike with hundreds of superb models covering a wide range of interests on display. MEET THE CLUBS
See over 1000 fantastic scale models from the age of steam to the present day! This prestigious exhibition enjoys the full support of over forty national and regional modelling clubs and societies who display a wide range of their members' work. Club members and stewards are on hand to talk about their hobby and the individual models and the exhibition hall will be packed with a vast range of modelling interests from railway locomotives, traction and stationary engines to model boats, destroyers and rockets.
Scale Plastic Modelling will also be on show at this year's exhibition. A variety of scale models and demonstrations will be presented by four London based modelling clubs providing help and advice on all aspects of their hobby.
LIVE STEAM GALORE
Visitors will see large scale model live steam railway layouts giving the opportunity not only to see the models in action but also to see many scale locomotives being prepared for their runs. Adults and children alike become completely enthralled watching them steam around the track, seeing exactly how they work. In the engine shed areas on each layout, upwards of five or six locomotives can be seen 'sizzling' quietly, giving off a fascinating smell of steam and hot oil, waiting to haul their trains. Hot air and stationary engines will also be operating. The vast range of support for this event means we again have a unique display of models - it's a real modelling exhibition, showing the enjoyment people can find with a range of satisfying hobbies. SPECIALIST SUPPLIERS
Exhibition visitors will have the opportunity to purchase the latest products from the comprehensive selection of specialist suppliers. From materials to machinery, everything a model engineer or modeller could possibly need for their project be it a grandfather clock or a railway locomotive. With many of the leading suppliers present modellers will be spoilt for choice. MODEL ACTIV ZONE
