Eurotrack Southampton

[Foulounoux]

I haven't seen anything posted so just a brief note having visited today

 

It's on tomorrow as well

 

It's at the Oasis Academy in Nursling/Lordshill Southampton

 

Good mix of layouts and trade

 

But what was really obvious was how many of the layouts were child freindly with some inviting youngsters to have a go

 

For me also inspiration came with the small layouts which showed how much can be achieved in a relatively small space

 

And I learnt that my wife prefers steam but the chimney must be a certain size to be attractive.

In fact She was almost tempted to buy a second hand Hornby Tornado set And then started suggesting I needed some German steam locomotives ..... There is hope

I visited yesterday too.

Good variety of layouts, especially of the overseas prototypes!

Saved quite a bit of money as one of the main traders only took cash or cheques, and I did like the look of several HO German loco's!

Thanks my own intended trip got cancelled yesterday when things happened at work and I got collared for an extra 4hrs making it a 12hr shift!

Sadly it appears there is no Eurotrack show this year, the autumn show by Solent Model Railway group at Millbrook last November was also cancelled.

 

I have no further information, can anyone shed any light on this?

I believe Ian has called it a day with organising the UK Eurotrack. Sorry to see it not taking place this year, it was always a show I liked to attend.
