Foster Street - Warrington Exhibition 2015
Well it was the weekend of the Warrington 2015 exhibition and the first time Foster Street has been at a 2 day exhibition. Despite varying degrees of panic leading up to the exhibition, mostly about whether the layout would stand up to 2 days of constant operation, and public scrutiny it seemed to have gone well.
There were a couple of minor sticky points, namely when the shuttle unit decided to blow itself up, or when a couple of the locomotives decided to take a nose dive off the layout and then bounce of the floor but I suppose these things happen, apart from this the weekend was a very enjoyable one if very exhausting.
However the highlight of the weekend for me, was the support I got from the team who came to the exhibition with me, the team certainly made a better job of operating the layout than I did and certainly kept the public entertained, especially with the making sure the Elephant train made regular circuits to entertain the younger visitors and of course me
So Phil, Stuart and of course The Domestic Overlord Tim thanks for all your help, support and tolerance in effectively babysitting me for an entire weekend and keeping me away from the superglue
Not only was Phil a good operator, even though he had a habit of constantly sneaking an SR locomotive into the storage yard, he managed to take some photo's in which he has managed to make the layout look presentable, so I thought I would include a few below.
Until the next time as ever Happy Modelling
