RMweb Gold snitchthebudgie Posted October 16, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2022 Visited today, and once again a very good show. A good number of layouts that were new to me, no dross at all, and a wide range of prototypes and scales. For me, Uckfield is an essential visit - much better than many of the larger shows, as the standard of layouts and modelling is so much higher. I'm just surprised that there haven't been more positive comments on this thread. (And the Civic Centre cafe is excellent!) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacathedrale Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I visited on Saturday morning and aside from the horrific parking situation I thought it was a lovely show. I didn't stay around long, but definitely one of my favourites. This close to ScaleForum, I've been spoiled for the rest of the year... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
