This year’s
Autumn models event, to be held on Saturday/Sunday 4/5th October at Kew
Bridge Steam Museum, has been completely revamped by combining the long-running
steam models event with the model boat show, previously held earlier in
the year. The new show will see the building absolutely crammed with exhibits
on the twin themes of model engineering and model boats. With the museum’s
regular attractions and a full size Cornish beam engine in operation,
thanks to sponsorship by Edgecam, there is truly something for everyone!
The organisers have taken care to leave room for the visitors but every
inch of available space will contain additional exhibits for the event.
