Models Steam In For Extravaganza To Kew Bridge Museum

A great family day out, this years' show will include steam models of all shapes and sizes including boats, traction engines and railway locomotives. The show will offer visitors, in particular families, an enjoyable experience with exhibits both old and new on display, inside and outside the museum, working throughout the weekend.

Come along and marvel at man's ability to harness this primeval force of nature, both full size and in miniature. Look closely and appreciate the skill of the modellers who have built working steam engines at a fraction of the size of the real thing. The immense power of steam under pressure can only really be appreciated when seen "live".

Visitors, both new and experienced, wishing to further their interest in steam modelling can indulge their hobby or interest further and be able to discuss tricks of the trade with resident experts. They will be a variety of stalls supplying the modeller with all the necessary materials for purchase, including a wide range of models, kits, drawings, photographs, specialist books and magazines and other steam related merchandise.
