And an excellent show weekend it was, too. The venue was superb & spacious, with some fascinating layouts & complementary exhibits, & the entire atmosphere was friendly & welcoming. The town was an interesting place to explore, also!

Thanks Paul, & the rest of your team;- this is one I won't forget in a hurry!

Notice the differing shades / tones of Southern Green, and this is just the station notices.

 

On with the show. Apologies for the, sometimes, shaky images, and for not covering all the superb layouts.

 

1. Blandford Town Museum Railway Club's layout (There's better pictures on their website http://www.blandfordtownmuseum.org/railway_club.html  Better still, pay the place a visit)
