From the Model Railway perspective, there were some excellent layouts on display. The large O gauge layout Newchapel Junction was again in attendance and proved as popular as ever. The modular layout that we have seen here before was also on show and proves the point that a number of individuals can each build there own small layout providing they comply with the guidelines for modularity and then join them together to make a very large layout.. Interesting to see that one of the members was running a 16 car Shinkansen on the modular layout. Excellent trade support was also evident with everything from ready to run (new and secondhand) to suppliers of raw materials for scratch building..

Aside from railway modelling in all scales and gauges there was a considerable number of other modelling interests present: slot cars, radio controlled boats, trucks, cars and helicopters, model aircraft, dolls houses, robowars, mecanno and new this year was LEGO with all sorts of goodies including Harry Potter.
The Daleks were present again, this time on the upper floor so we didn't see them too often. The radio controlled cars re-enacted 'The Italian Job' 3 minis in a truck, and did a superb job of it.

Our thanks to Tim Steven and the Modelworld Organising Group for the invitation to this 30th Brighton Model World. Yet another first class exhibition and with attendance around 10,000 this year an excellent turn out by visitors. The Park and Ride for exhibitors and visitors at the Brighton Racecourse worked extremely well for all concerned.
