I am losing sleep, thinking about all the exhibition managers around the country, walking the floor all night and pulling their hair out desperate to attract a handful of railway modellers that frequent forums. Stan.

Rob D2, The simple answer is, you will not make any difference to an exhibition whether it is a success or failure. The vast majority of shows really on the general public from that area, hopefully bringing the family and they are coming along to see model railways running round layouts etc. not whether the stock is painted blue. Its the trade who want the modellers, most clubs want joe public. There are exceptions ie Warley and their like. Stan.
