It's specialised being predominantly railway modelling (chiefly garden railway) and marine.

More details on this show can be found at the organisers link- http://www.mmss.co.uk/

I've found them helpful in the past, and if they're following previous practice are happy to issue free tickets if you have a model of some description to bring along and display.

The clarity of the pool has been a bit of a mixed bag in the past, sometimes excellent sometimes murky. It's a small pool, so suits small to medium sized boats best.
