comment Grantham Model Train Show September 7,2008 Posted On 2008-09-07 , 3:30 PM Grantham Model Train Show September 7,2008
This is a short video from the model train show at Grantham, Lincolnshire. The video features 'O','OO' and 'N' gauge layouts. I've also inserted some still footage between the video and as usual my son directs the footage whilst I'm videoing...grr.. :) For me Seabury Town stole the show with moving characters, model train displays on the model train display, opening toilets, red squirrels and most surprisingly and exploding carriages (sadly not caught on film .. this time!) ... oh and of course the operators did a fantastic job too!
