A couple of minor changes to the line-up:

 

Sadly the Darjeeling & Himalayan Society cannot now attend, their slot has been filled by the Scandinavian Railway Society and Peter McConnell informs me that he'll be bringing Nippon Tetsudo in place of Sankei Valley as the Japanese Z gauge exhibit.

 

Just over a week to go!

Probably the only good thing about Didcot other than the GWS and the station.

 

That's a little unfair - There is also the train to Oxford ! Or, if you want to go downmarket, the train to Swindon.

GAHHHH!!!!

 

Had a call from the venue about an hour ago - due to a monumental cawk-up their end, we've lost one of our rooms (the long back room, for those that know the venue) due to a double booking.

 

So I'm afraid I've had no choice but to reduce the content of the show in order to fit into the remaining space:

I'm not an entirely disinterested party, but even after the harsh pruning I reckon this is still a great group of layouts to bring together. And if we still have use of the tea-making equipment all will be well :-)

Still a great exhibition with some very nice layouts, a friendly team and tasty bacon rolls.

 

when I told my wife the nature of the double booking she asked if there was a miniature battle with scale weapons....

We spent an enjoyable hour and a half at the show this afternoon. 

Highlights for me were the Spanish narrow gauge layout - San Maria Gandia and the German layout set in Bavaria. There was also an exquisite 1:150 Japanese cameo layout featuring hand built track. 

Nice to see a mixture of eras, locations and scales in an accessible venue. 

The refreshments were very reasonable too!

As well as the illustrious GRS event there was also a celebration of the 175th anniversary of the opening of the line between Didcot and Oxford on Saturday, and this was the scene at Didcot just after 18:00 as I waited for my train back from the show.
