I'll be there with my layout. Who else is going - either as exhibitor or customer?

Hello Grahame. It was very good last year so I shall be going again as a spectator and no doubt a customer.

What is your layout? I look forward to seeing it.

My layout is called 'Stoney Lane Depot' - it's an urban scene from the NSE era;

Meacham will be there from the Leamington & Warwick MRS (Well - we do meet only a few miles away!). It's an era 4-5 (5 primarily) through station in Derbyshire. Quite a lot of urban landscape, mainly proprietary stock. 20' long. Quite an old club layout that's been used as a 'learning tool' for several groups of new N gauge modellers over the years.

I'll be going. Been looking forward to it for a while.

I'd love to go but unfortunately I am in China at the moment so will have to rely on reports from those that are able to go.

To those that are able to attend - ENJOY.

Cheers,

Expat.

I went on Saturday. I can honestly say it is the best model railway exhibition I've ever been to. There were some really impressive layouts based on the UK and continental scenes.

It was also nice to be able to see the latest Dapol and Farish creations up close, and I have joined the Dapol Owners Club and N Gauge Society

A great exhibition with some impressive layouts and excellent trade support. I visited on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was able to tick off everything on my shopping list and returned home happy but much poorer.
What's more a show dedicated to N-Gauge means you don't have to wade through all those obscure gauges first.

Sounds really good! I forgot that I was on holiday (I write this on the computer in Budapest) but I will put it in my diary for next year! Did anyone take any pictures that they might be inclined to post?

(Unrelated - last week in Vienna I saw a Railjet train in the yard at Westbahnhof! Looked very nice, but the Railjet Taurus itself scuttled away somewhere before I could walk to the end of the platform...)
