Great to see this show. Finally Leicester has a regular model rail show, complementing the Soar Valley event at Loughborough.

Look forward to being there.

Bregenbach im Schwarzwald  (note full name) will be there, with its new line-up of sound fitted electric locos.

 

 

I've even weathered another couple of rakes of wagons (since these pics were taken)....

Excellent show, friendly and a decent amount of space behind the layout.  Plenty of friends to talk to and a healthy attendance.  

 

Only down side was the length of time Roots take to serve a bacon butty.  When I was a student in Durham there was a pub with a review in the Students Union guide that said "Service slow, suggest take own beer and barmaid".  I did wonder if this is where the landlord moved to.   Having said that the quality of them was excellent....
