Jingle Bells! It's nearly Christmas, so it's time for the Rowington garden railway show. A festive chance to snap up a few projects for when you are fed up of eating turkey. Handy for members of your family to grab a few special presents for the modeller. He/she just has to point at something, then wander away, looking surprised under the tree later in the month.
For a village hall show, the trade selection is impressive. Organiser John Sutton must be twisting a few arms, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
There were three layouts on display, two 16mm scale, and a G-scale line. The 16mm lines were running steam too.
Obviously, there was cake to be consumed. A sausage bap too, for medicinal reaons as the day before I'd been drinking beer in London...
This is John Sutton's last show as organiser - let's hope someone steps in, as this would be quite a loss for the calendar. Best of all, £428 was raised for the British Heart Foundation.
