Here we present some photographs of just a few models representing the Society in our April 2005 Exhibition, held in Newton Abbot town centre.
There was a good turnout and plenty for people to see, models in various stages of completion, and all built to a good standard.
The variety of models shows the diverse interests of our membership, and as represented here, there is a healthy amount of building activity going on.

Ron's period 4-2-0 Crampton loco
is progressing at a good rate, and to a very high standard.
Behind it, 'Fredzengn', an 0-6-0 Simplex, is waiting for it's boiler. |

Chris's fine marine type triple expansion engine.
Such an engine would normally be used to power a large boat.

A Southern Railway 'Bulleid Q1' austerity of 1942.
Rob's 5" gauge 0-6-0 is deceptively complete on the outside, but a lot of work is still required to finish it. |

|
Colin's beautiful 3½" gauge 'Molly'.
Built to a very high standard, this perfectly captures the look of the prototype 3F class.

Bill's 3" compound traction engine. This wonderfully constructed model had a fabulous exhaust beat when working hard. |

A 'Britannia' chassis in 5" gauge.
When Bob finishes it, this British Railways prototype will be a very powerful hauler.

A 'Warspite' steam launch', 52" long.
This beautifully crafted boat contains a gas fired steam boiler, and is propelled by a two cylinder engine marine engine.

See the Features section for an article on the construction of Chris' magnificent model.

Aveling & Porter 'DX' diesel roller.
Ken's intricate and unusual roller, running at idling revs, drew interest outside the Exhibition entrance. |
