Had a great, if hectic, visit today with my two little lads.

 

Was disappointed to miss Saturday, but made up for it today. The lads loved the Lego, and really enjoyed the chat from the operators. The layouts, trade and general buzz was great! Manfully resisted the gorgeous looking selection of irish bits on Chris/Daves stand!

I'll second that about Richie! Unfortunately I didn't get to the show today, but on way from Galway to Belfast I collected my containers off him. Just opened them there now... STUNNING! No 071s for me yet unfortunately :( also, Anto, was that you I saw walking off the enterprise that came into Connolly about half 3?

Had a great time at the show yesterday... got to see some fabulous modelling (the 7mm scale NCC layout was the cream of the crop), got to say hello to Weshty and see the excellent work he's done on the Sulzer, and met Glenderg and saw the drawings for a little project he's working on for me. :)

 

It was great to see such a good turnout to support the show.

Meant to say... it was good to meet ttc0169 again, and got to say a quick hello to Wrenn, who was busy selling models to the assembled masses.

 

@ Garfield we should all call you the invisible man as any of the guys I spoke to never seen you =))

 

I could say the same about you! :P

I'm back from the show. I managed to pick up 112 and also a Dutch van to complete a Cravens set. Plenty of great modelling on show. I particularly enjoyed the NCC/GNRI O Gauge layout and the scratch built buses. Missed SSM though. Great weekend.
