02:24 Hi, could you introduce yourself and tell me what's happening here today?

02:34 Hi, my name's Dave Smith. I'm chairman of the Southampton Mobile Railway Club.

02:38 We're a small club who's based up in Fort Wigley, up on top of the hill in the old Napoleonic forts.

02:44 And this is our annual exhibition which we hold every November at the Admiral Lord Nelson School in Portsmouth.

02:50 We have a wide selection of trains for people to look at.

02:56 All model railways, various sizes.

02:58 Various sizes of layouts, in terms of physical size, and also the size of the trains that we show people.

03:05 And how many sets have you got here on display today?

03:08 We have 13 layouts here today, and a selection of trailers as well.

03:12 It's not the biggest of shows in the country, but it does prove to be quite a popular one.

03:18 And you've got a mixture of different gauges and scales?

03:21 Yes, we have scales ranging from 2mm to the foot, which some people may recognise as N-gauge,

03:27 right up to 7mm to the foot, which is O-gauge, and which is the layout you can see behind you.

03:33 It looks very lively. What's the reception been like today?

03:36 The reception today, at present the feedback is excellent.

03:40 We like to call ourselves a friendly show, makes people welcome.

03:46 At the moment we would hope today to have somewhere between around about 600 to 650 people through the door,

03:53 which is just comfortable for us as a one day show.

03:57 Well fantastic, I'm going to have a look around. It all looks very thrilling. Thank you very much.

04:01 Thank you.
