I'll be there Saturday, looking forward to it!

I usually intend to go Saturday - and end up going on Sunday.

 

We'll see what happens this time.

As always, I finally got there today.

 

A few pictures to give a general idea of what was on offer.

We had the usual potential for entertainment in the car-park swamps.

 

I had my annual sausage roll, still as good as ever, though constructed to a different loading gauge this year.

 

Well worth a visit, if you're in the vicinity - plenty big and much more civilised than Warley.

I had to use the 'big camera' this year - can't get sneaky arm's-length shots with it, but the place seemed slightly less crowded than previous years.

 

The general standard is still rising - such that nothing really stood out above the rest.

 

I couldn't keep track of layout names, but it's included in the shot where it was a viable proposition.

Lots of the Steam era layouts appear to be so pristine and chocolate box, like something out of Downton! Thx for uploading them though, so real craftsmanship throughout. R

Thanks for posting for many super pics Broithe. Really enjoyed your post. Many superb layouts. Ellesmere caught my eye.
