No worries Mike. I must echo your sentiments with regards to the show. Apart from the excellent Redwood Logging layout and Simon Eccles manfully doing his best with Leeming Yard the other layouts were disappointing. In fact on one layout the operators were more bothered chatting to friends than actually running trains
Then after numerous grumbles from assorted spectators they actually pulled their fingers out and got on with running trains, albeit for 10mins until such time as a broken rail appeared. They then spent the next hour fixing said rail
So overall a massive thumbs down from me
Here's to hoping for a better day out at Kettering next week,
regards,
Mark
