Only one week left until the big day! When Compton Quay makes it's return at the Gartell Model Railway Exhibition! In this update I show you the changes and repairs I have made to the layout, ready for the show.
The Exhibition is being held at the Gartell Light Railway near Templecombe, on the Saturday 7th (10.00am to 5.00pm) and Sunday 8th (10.00 to 4.00pm) February. This years is extra special, the event is celebrating it 10th Anniversary! More info on the exhibition can be found of the events Facebook Page and on RMweb. 
Hopefully all will go well over the weekend, and if you are able to pop along, do come over and say Hi! 
Hope you enjoy!

See you all tomorrow.  Plenty already setup tonight.

Seen the pictures of the set up so far on the Facebook Page, looks like it's going to be a superb event! 

Got an early start tomorrow so I can get down and set Compton Quay up.

As it happens I will be visiting tomorrow. Unexpected visit to my sister who lives in Yeovil, which has of course given us an excuse to pop in!

Looking forward to it!

A really delightful show, and will definitely be coming back next time!

The staff were all really friendly, food was superb (and very generous in portions!), layouts were great and overall a really nice atmosphere.

Good to meet an RMwebber, SDJR7F88.

The 2ft gauge Gartell Light Railway was lovely, although I think they need a bit of weatherproofing around the carriage doors! I chatted to the owner who seems like a top bloke, so overall, me and my dad had a fantastic day out! Well done to the organisers and exhibitors.

 

I have just uploaded a gallery of images here on RMweb which you can find here.

 

A little taster:

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately I didn't make any notes, and never picked up a guide on entry to the exhibition, so apologies for the lack of info for each layout!

 

Jam.
