After the sucess of last years show...here come this years...
The format is the same (and some of the layouts make a welcome return), the setting is one of Newcastle's hidden gems (someone will post a picure of last years show for sure), and there are a number of cameo layouts amongs the exhibitors...for all those looking for inspiration...also Dr Dave Dunn will be in the lecture theatre (with his projector) to remind us of what the railways once were...and there is a micro pub 200 yards away and lastly the Central station is close at hand...
Details as follows...
