On your arrival at the South Cerney showground, you'll notice straight away a large tent at the heart of the show. First glance you will possibly put in your mind the word Circus, and in truth you will not be far wrong. In fact housed within the biggest structure at this years Steam Extravaganza you will probably find several Circuses, a number of Fun Fairs, Traction Engines, Railway Locomotives and a myriad of other gems. No its not a Tardis, it is our infamous Model Marquee!

Laid out before you as you enter the marquee you will find rows upon rows of tables all playing host to models and collections of every description. From scratch built items, to classic Dinky toys, there is more treasure located here than on John Silvers lost map!

You will be able to speak to the people who are displaying, as most spend the weekend sat behind their pride and joy happy to answer any questions. Some are even building more models while they chit chat to whoever shows a passing interest in their craft. Some may even be having a nap, such is the relaxed atmosphere within - best not wake them though if you can help it.
