Visited the show yesterday - as usual an incredible selection of traders offering everything from loco kits to small detailing bits and pieces.

Only stayed a brief while as it was freezing! Think there was a problem with no heating in the main space - not sure how the traders managed to cope with 6 hrs as 90 minutes was enough for me!

I was told that the heating was on but the lack of insulation in the roof made it like trying to bail out the titanic with a thimble.
Very well organised but there was a distinct lack of people participating with cash. Very difficult to say if we will be back next year.
