Model Engineer Exhibiton - Sandown Park
Model Engineer
This year's Model Engineer Exhibition will be returning to Sandown Park
Exhibition Centre by popular demand. The event promises to be the
premier event in the model engineer’s diary for 2009, with
hundreds of world class models on display and entered in the world
famous Model Engineer Competition. We also offer you the chance to come
along and visit the UK’s leading specialist suppliers, plus the
opportunity to meet the clubs and societies who help and support those
wishing to take up this fascinating hobby.
The 2009 event promises to be better than ever before and will include;
• Over forty key specialist suppliers
• Hundreds of models on display – organisers expect nearly
1000 entries
• SMEE Lectures and Demonstrations
• Twenty Five club and society displays
• Live track action in 7 �”, 16mm and Gauge 1
There are also many special attractions this year, these include;
SMEE (The Society of Model & Experimental Engineers) has traditionally
organised a series of well structured but informal lectures on a wide
range of subjects by some of the leading names in the world of model
engineering and you won't be disappointed by what's on offer at this
year's exhibition. As in the case of the last two years, eight lectures
a day are to be presented in two separate well appointed rooms where you
will be able sit back and enjoy the talks, as well as the opportunity to
take part in a question and answer session.
The Lecturer’s programme can be found at

The World Class Model Engineering Competition once again comes to The
Model Engineering Exhibition. Entries for this year's show are at a
high, with models ranging from locomotives and tramways, to radio flying
helicopters, motorbikes and even model ambulances. For full details on
competition rules, classes, and to download an Entry Form please go

A huge range of Railway, Traction Engine and Stationary Steam Models
will be on display throughout the weekend. Clubs from up and down the
country will display their impressive builds, many of which have taken
years to perfect.
The 2004 Model Engineer exhibition Gold Medal winner, Chris Vine, will
be displaying the now famous “Bongo” which took 2 years of
hard work, resulting in Chris’s book “How Not To Paint a
Locomotive”
On display will also be pictures of “Mad Bess”, Ryslip Lido
Railway Society’s 9 year project.
Marine models on display will include Noah’s Ark with appropriate
animals entering two by two, scale electric powered models of Lifeboats,
Tugs and Steam Powered vessels.
The displays will also include models at various scales and
demonstrations of building techniques including sailmaking, shackle
making and a ropewalk.

It's really irritating when people post to text-only newsgroups without
understanding that their fancy stuff is going to come out garbled.
If anyone at MyHobbyStore actually reads this, please redraft in a
suitable format and re-post, then we might not miss some key details.

The mere fact that they've posted via RC Groups shows that they don't
get Usenet.
Nothing really against RC Groups but's it's not the real thing (but
then neither is Google Groups and I'm posting through them today)

know I constrain all messages to be shown without HTML, but there hasn't
been a problem before now.

True.
It is equally irritating when commercial organisations think they can
use Usenet for free advertising.

When the only tools you have are an X3 mill, a
Colchester and assorted other stuff, every problem looks like a steam engine.

Should we boycott / organise a boycott in protest?

I have only just picked thsi up, too late to go to it, but I have had no
trouble at all with reading it, it has come out perfectly readable on my
machine, just as all normal postings do.
