Covkid Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Very impressed with this show today. Not an O gauger myself, but went with a mate who tends to do NCB industrial stuff. He managed to pick up a kit for a "J94" Austerity and some wheels for it as well as solder. I trated myself to a book. Lovely big hall with plenty of room and a great high ceiling so plenty of fresh air. Last time I went to this event it was at Telford, and IMHO didn't sit very well there. The Bingley Hall certainly seems well suited to such an exhibition. Noticed a Chaserider bus doing shuttles but plenty of car parking on the grass which was nice and dry Nice one G.O.G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
