Did the water colour, I'm now more satisfied with it. No laque, there was simply no time anymore!:

Back from our Warley trip. Started with picking up my 3-man crew and drive ourselfs to the Eurotunnel:

There we boarded the train around half past 2:

The ride to Birmingham was fairly easy until 30 miles towards it where we met a lot of slow traffic and congestions:

It resulted in the fact that we where late at hal 5 at the NEC, around half past 7. It gave a good hour to closing time so not everything was ready when leaving the hal:

As it was that late we had to relay on a fish and chips shop that also had some shoarma:

On Saturdaymorning we finished the build-up and from that point it worked perfect until sunday evening. Some photo's:

Thanks to everybody that I spoke to and who visited my layout. it was a great pleasure to be in Warley!!!

 

Grtz, Ronald.

Very good! To exhibit in the NEC isn't a game: from the continent it's a long way and the big traffic jam around Birmingham is still there. It's not easy to go there. But the exhibition is always a good one.
