Last Exhibition of 2023, Maidstone and Mid Kent Model Railway Exhibition 29th & 30th Dec

A new edition to the exhibition calendar this year with an event held in Maidstone. A great venue with a relaxed and spacious show and plenty of parking.
There were some really amazing layouts and trade stands.
The exhibition, was held the 29/30th of December - such a treat to have a show in between Christmas and the New Year
Join me as I take a stroll around the exhibition......
I have done my best to avoid filming people and conversations but inevitably at an event like this it is so difficult to avoid, so if there are any objections please get in touch with the time in the video and I will do my best to edit.

I am not a model railway maker but model boat enthusiast. Was delighted to see the two You tube presentations and would have come along to see it if I had known it was taking place ! I don't recall seeing it advertised locally, maybe another year this could be improved. RB

I stumbled on it by chance on line. Anyway thanks for watching. There is a video an the channel from the Blackpool model show - lot of boats on there...

Thanks for the show. The large gauge 1 oval was very impressive. Did I detect some live steam there?

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

Indeed many of the gauge 1 locos were in steam!

No problem, I like to try and name the traders, as much as I can, great to see so many at the show! Thanks for watching.
