I've just looked down the layout list. I see Boot by Peter Kazer is attending, original La'al Ratty at 1/48. That's worth going to see on its own. I may be abandoning my stand for a while :)

I'll most likely miss this, this year... I used up my All-Day Pass at Cradley Heath recently :oops:

12 layouts doesn't sound like many? Not that I've counted how many layouts have been there in prevous years... and Mortonhampstead is how old, now?? :eek: I must admit that I've always thought it's sheer size for nothing more than a BLT always emphasised even more the lack of movement on it.... just a personal impression.

Hi

Fun day at Wolverhampton.

Cracking little show. Yes, there are only 12 layouts, but not a filler among them. Nice venue, light with plenty of space.

Spoke to Andy York (Heyside should be in the January BRM) and Fred Lewis who gave me a heads up on some DJH 40 problems ahead.

Another day of enforced model making tomorrow......

Cheers

sorry... re-reading my post above, I realise it could seem rather negative of the whole Show. :oops: Not my intention - I do usually enjoy the Wolves Show when I go; the layouts are always good quality modelling - Mortonhampstead just isn't a favourite of mine, mainly as I perceive a lack of operations - but it's actual scenic modelling is very good, and of course as it's built more-or-less to scale length, I believe, shows just how sprawling a real Country Branch Terminus was..!!!

Enjoy tomorrow, everyone. :)

Had an enjoyable couple of hours at the show. My main reason for attending was to see Moretonhampstead and I wasn't disappointed! Also had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Richard (Dikitriki) who was working on his EE Type 4 (Class 40) Bogies. Well done to the organisers.

The reality is that we have to put on a good show and try and make some money, as you can imagine, this can be difficult and the expenses have to be kept under control. I think we did well for a club with only 20 members or so, and I was trying to work out what the youngest age is in the club - lets say there are probably more retired than not. With clubroom expenses increasing and a small membership, a loss making show could really give us a problem.

Hopefully we entertained and I like to think that it is a friendly show with more of a social emphasis.

Thanks all for coming that did!
