Hi Steph,
Hopefully I shall be at Doncaster and it would be nice to chat with you about the split axle construction if you have a few minutes spare?
Bumping into other WT members would be nice too!!!
Cheers

Lee,
Yep, no problem, I'll bring some examples with me. I've replied to your Class 40 thread too.

I intend being at Doncaster too and also to visit the DEMU show on Sunday. It's a long way so might as well kill two birds with the one road trip!

Enjoyable trip to Donny on Saturday, my first Guild show, despite being a member since 2009. Pleasantly surprised that the hall was not overly crowded, I could get to and speak to traders and make purchases as necessary. I hope the hall being not too crowded wasn't reflected in taking for traders.
Met a couple of the guys behind Finney7 (Richard & Mick) & saw the W1 which I have enjoyed following take shape here on WT, looking forward to kits being reintroduced. Good to see instructions are taking their rightful place as being important in a kit.
Tony Geary had the BR standard 4 with him which he rebuilt following an accident by its owner, what a fantastic job Tony did of replacing the smokebox & cab.
The class 47 cab on The JLTRT stand looked very impressive & had more weight than I would have expected, the stand was busy so i didnt get to ask if that was the actual material the loco will be made in or a prototyping material, I am sure the Brush 4 will be a big hit. the D6xx Warship was also on the stand, looked very nice, although not a prototype I am familiar with.
I was very tempted by an Easybuilt Cravens class 105 two car DMU, seeing items in the flesh does make a purchase more likely, but sometimes we just have to think of the pile of boxes already on the shelf waiting their turn, before adding more.
Next time I must take a shopping list as I forgot a few items.

As I started this thread, I'm embarrassed to say I didn't make it !. I bought my e ticket last week, so I had every intension to attend, until I was reminded that our holiday is less than 3 weeks away now & I should be getting the last bits for that & not bits for my hobby !!.
I hope everyone had a great time.

A good time indeed! I travelled by public transport, bus access to the Dome is exceptionally easy and I was very pleased to obtain a free Slater's bag to help carry the goods I have purchased home again! Will take a larger bag to Telford!
It was nice to put some names to faces and I spent so long chatting to people I didn't get to see the Finney7 instructions for the forthcoming M7. I did get the wheels though! I also managed to not speak to the Gladiators'. They were always busy whenever I came past.
That was a most interesting show and the site I hope will be available for future years?
Many thanks to everyone else, my feet were sore when I got home and were out the bottom of the quilt last night!
