A big thanks to Alan and the team for organising a great show and Andy (298) for operating Industrivej

It WAS a good friendly little show with some interesting layouts- including Schwungischerplatz- and a chance to catch up with friends from other "continental" societies. Apart from the SNCF Society stand I had some fun operating Alan Marlow's excellent transition era* Czech layout. Next year we hope to have something French there.  

I second the thanks to Alan Monk and the GRS for organising it.

 

*The transition from Soviet style "democracy" to the real thing rather than steam to diesel

An excellent show with the added bonus of being able to visit the GWS site as well. I hope to be able to post a few photos of the show tomorrow.

 

I might even add one of a GWR engine to keep Bill (bbishop) happy.  :jester:

This really tempts me to try a snow scene!

 

And as it was a nice afternoon at the GWS.
