Myself and my father in law arrived a little early and had to wait for the doors to open at 10.30am,
the queue behind stretched for a couple of hundred yards by then.

 
Overall the show was very good with plenty of things for both 16mm folk as well as G-Scaler's,
there were plenty of things to buy and all the usual suppliers were in attendance - i.e. Brandbright , GRS, Roundhouse ,GRC well you
name it they were there too many to mention really.

There were plenty of trains running - Garratt owners + Ttarrag shed with their coal fired garratts running - SUPERB!

These layouts where up and running as well,

When we first went in there were not too many in attendance but by the time the show had been open for an hour or more there were a lot of people there  some stands were 3 deep especially the Roundhouse and DJB stands.

This was my first time to this show and I was suitably impressed, there were a few rude folk who refused to budge when asked, but overall everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and judging by the boxes and bags everyone was carrying round a lot of stock
was sold.
