All being well, Meg, Simon and I will be there with EISENGEBRAU.

Peter, please note correct spelling!

 

 

To avoid any recriminations the misspelling was my fault originally by giving Peter duff information!

All packed up, ready to go. Early night, set the alarm. I am bringing a  lot of my new 3D printed items. 8am might not be early for some,but I have got used to working into the small hours on computer, and getting up late!

Well done organisers! Nice exhibition with a useful selection of traders. I was very taken with the spectacular Colorado and Southern layout. Very good café.

I got on the bus to get into central Manchester, and it easily started, and stopped. And it easily started again. And stopped. Result? We all got on RM1414 (to my joy), a bus I know I spotted as a kid, and quite possibly rode on, a long long time ago.

Great day out. Many thanks to all concerned.

As usual, a lovely little show, well done to the organisers; the catering was fine. The best 2 layouts for me were 29th St Wharf and Thorncliffe, where the owners were quite charming and helpful. Lots of useful trade stands where I stocked up on supplies-glue, couplings, fishplates - the usual suspects.

Only a very minor criticism was the lack of a more detailed guide to the layouts. Overall though, a positive delight
