Visitors to the fair can also expect to find a large selection of diecast models, including cars, buses, lorries and other toys. One of the unique aspects of these events is the 'Swapmeet' element, where traders often allow visitors to sell or exchange their unwanted models for others.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it an ideal outing for model railway enthusiasts of all ages.
