The Great Dorset Steam Fair, 2009

One of the main exhibitions was a large tent containing a large number of fairground models. Here is a model of a Toboggan coaster (which apparently has been at the fair before, but didn't feature this year) and of The Roller.

Here's a model of an old time style jet ride.

Some of the models were working models, this model Waltzer comes complete with motion blur.

Some models were put together to create a miniature funfair.

A model of a Helter Skelter.

A model of an old style scenic railway thrill ride, one of the first mechanical thrill rides ever created.

Another collection of rides put together to create a miniature funfair.

This model has a small fair and a small town, where a farm has been put right in the middle of the town. That's terrible urban planning.

A model of some steam yachts, in case you missed the real ones in the steam fair.
