Great show and very well attended from what I could see! Really nice variety of layouts and plenty of traders for 'bits and pieces' type stuff plus second hand models. Number of family groups very noticeable and I saw plenty of exhibitors going 'above and beyond' to engage the kids which was nice to see.

A big thank you to Mark and all involved in the show today. Spend several hours there today with my son and thoroughly enjoyed it. Really good range of layouts and my spending suggests some excellent trade support.

There was a cracking selection of layouts and we had a great day with Penmaenbach. It was also good toto see Squires - they got a fair few of my modelling pounds and seemed very busy. We caught up with a lot of old friends and generally had a good time.

Thanks to Mark and all his colleagues. Hopefully I'll be asked back to a future show with another of my projects

I also have to say my bacon roll at lunchtime was excellent.

There are some (as yet uncaptionned) photos here (some from me and some from one of the PMB team):

First time at an exhibition since pre- covid days. Had a great time, very inspired by Penmaenbach. I'll be ordering a SLW Class 24 and 25 after seeing a 24 in the flesh.

Glad you liked PMB - we had a cracking day. Those SLW locos are second to none...

I was one who stopped by to say hello, having not seen this thread before this morning.

We chatted about your Ruston shunter among other things.

I enjoyed St Oswalds, and thought the whole show was good.

 

Thanks

Cheers

Hi Kevin

 

Good to meet you.  Glad you enjoyed the show and thanks for the kind words regarding St Oswalds.  

 

The Ruston didn't stay on the layout for long as its unfinished (still awaiting axleboxes, steps and sandboxes from Shapeways) but hopefully, it'll be ready for the next outing at Compton Dundon on 24 February.  I made an effort to run all of my locos yesterday, only five of them but it rings the changes.

 

A big thank you to Mark and the team for an excellent show yesterday, the St Oswalds and Abbots Morton gang from Sodbury Vale MRC had a great day.

 

Cheers
