SRC on the road – with a difference!
Yesterday, 5th September 2021, saw a show with a difference. How many of us have exhibited or attended a show in a ruined castle with a Civil War re-enactment happening at the same time?
The show was at Tutbury Castle and was orgainsed by the Birmingham Model Railway Club.
The weather was belting, as was the noise of the canon and muskets!
Some interesting layouts including one, Emwell, in 1:64 S scale, and our own Rushwick
Here are the pics:
First, some scenes around the castle grounds starting with the entrance gate.
The re-enactment players preparing for battle!
The castle grounds.
The marquee where the show was held. South facing, it got mighty hot in the afternoon!
And now the show:
