Must see if I can get there this year.

Look forward to seeing you (and WE!) on Saturday, Andrew.Do hope there is more room this year- last year, it did get a wee bit crowded- good for the organisers and exhibitors but not quite so for the punters!

I have just got back, very pleased with a good day out.

 

Some very attractive layouts. "Wheal Elizabeth" was beautifully executed in P4, and I was most impressed with the BWT, both in looks and smooth running. For 0 gauge there was "Swyncombe", and large-ish 00 there was "Bishopsmead" (more my thing, really). I also ate well; that's important to me.

Thanks for the kind comments. It was a good little show and I enjoyed it apart from having my stock box kicked over by one of the exhibitors when they were bringing in their layout. 3 wagons damaged but not irreparably. Ted Olney's Bishopsmead is a nice layout and I enjoyed watching the trains go by during my breaks. It deservedly won most popular layout.
