Model Engineering Exhibition

Living near an exhibition centre brings to one's life things and people one would never come normally across.

Model Engineering Exhibition-23

Great hall of Alexandra Palace was welcoming Autistic Congress Model Engineering Exhibition. Dozens clubs, societies, museums, supplies producers gather this weekend with their model steam engines and mini-steam railway equipment, sail boats, airplanes, rocket boats (great videos displayed), miniature copies of real things and utterly fantasy engineering exercises, flying, running, shining and just snuggily enjoying attention.

It was quite wired to see masses of the grey playing toys and one-off kids watching them. I wonder, if in 80 years' time video games will also drift out from the children's hands to grandads'.

This lovely gentleman was selling steam boats. Two for £10, and it runs as long as the candle burns:

My ignorance, my bliss, was safely protecting me from noticing factual and technical inaccuracies all through the show.

However, sometimes it was not enough.

Да, это удивительно - человек столько времени тратит на модель, а потом устраивает белиберду в названии.
