black and decker boy Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Well we are set up ready to go. Harkness has thrown us a few wobbles but now sorted and running OK so hoping for a fun and interesting day tomorrow. The visiting layouts look superb and the DCC sound on Barton Road was incredible for such small locos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benn Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 We thoroughly enjoyed attending the show with Barton Road! Thanks to the Rochdale MRG for putting on an excellent weekend and for the assistance with reminding us to get lunch... We're so engrossed in putting on a good show for the punters/playing trains, that we loose track of time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
