Nice run over on Sunday from the Principality.

 

Star of the show for me was Arun Quay and an opportunity to chat to the Gravetts. Worth the admission for that alone.

Nice to see Hounslow in the flesh.......er wood....plastic...metal...Unexpected pleasure to bump into Mudmagnet at the controls.

 

Did a double take at Abercynon as it wasn't Brian Tuckers well known example.

 

 

All in all worth the trip to a nice venue.

Great little show this year, as always. Standouts for me were Vale of Oxbury and Arun Quay. Both amazing in their own ways. Good to see Lord and Butler with a small stand. Maybe they'll be back next year with more stock. Did I overhear the Modelmania owner saying he was retiring and shutting up shop this year or was that just show stalls?

Yes Brian asked to have a look out for that one. Nice as it's in EM as opposed to OO. Is it a compliment or an insult to have your layout copied? Although it is slightly longer and has a couple of points on it.

That's funny the owner of Modelmania was not attending the show
