There were model steam and electric train rides, a display of larger gauge locomotives, a demonstration of equipment used by the hobby engineer of yesteryear in 'Mike's Shed', a photo display of the history of the Society along with refreshments served by Society volunteers in the Clubhouse, whilst further refreshments were available outside from the Wilson House Scouts http://www.wilsonhousescouts.org.uk/ .
