If you would be able to take some photos and tell us about it, we'd gladly put them up for the other members and guests to see. Send me a message if you need hosting.

Do you know, this is typical of me, I remembered to take the camera to Harrogate on Sunday and took a massive total of 6 photos. 3 wewr of the same layout. I spent more time browsing the trade stands than looking at the layouts! I think the number of exhibits was hit by the change of venue too and i did find myself seeming to have seen a lot of layouts elsewhere before.

Just back here from Scotland (That was one LONG trip!!!)

Just a few quick things really show wise - Easy enough to get to (Once you got past all the stuff for the wedding exhibition), Bachmann stand was rather on the small side (4 cases and that was all really - Mostly containing the new 37's). Hornby stand was very good - Only 1 live steam running as well as 1 mainline 60. The DCC controllers were on display and look very smart and are nice and small. Dapol stand had their usual 4 track layout with lots of stuff in the display case to view.

Layout wise there was a nice choice representing everyones taste so there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Got lots of photos to look at tomorrow (Sadly didn't manage any from the layouts there due to lack of activity on them!). Most photos were from Hornby / Bachmann / Dapol stands as well as a few shots of the SPT trains through the station.

Right time for bed now ... 4am start and a 11pm finish is a long day!

Hi There
Bit of a non event Friday great day good trade stands, lots of action on the layouts N gauge Glasgow & West of Scotland Group pocket size tram layout Cumbernauld .Nice tight layout,with some very slow running locos, which was down to allegedly a good running in period and lubrication kept to a minimum. A good turnout from south of the border some nice layouts
Hornby DCC looks chunky, Live steam looked great, but with a scale speed of 200 +. I t seemed to be going rather quickly. Sick dog and wife ment only one day at the show, so was a bit dissapointed. Been a very long time since I was at a model exhibition so it seemed to be a fair sized event. Excellent book sellers and modern traction DVD and videos. Got a few photographs but on 35mm not digital so these will have to wait.
O gauge think it was DJH Kits with a pre roduction GWR railcar due out April Sorry I missed the long travelled Jennings
