Just got back from this show - very busy!

 

Top marks to the layout on stand 1 - the operators let my 2 year old grandson press the buttons to operate the horn on one of their sound fitted locos: he really enjoyed that!

Yes another successful year by the looks of it - very busy at times. My layout Portway Center got a lot of nice comments from people.

I have some pics of the Show to download but hopefully others will have better ones!!

Wish I had realised that was you - would have said hello!
