Ally Pally time


All being well, by lunchtime today, I'll be in that there London for a capital show.

Yes, it's time for The London Festival of Railway Modelling, two days in the magnificent Alexandra Palace. 

It's one of my favourite venues, so much more character than your average exhibition hall. I just need to stay in the show and not spend my time gawping at the view over London. 

It's the show's 25th Birthday too. Doesn't time fly? I still fondly remember IMREX in the Horticultural Halls, and now the show that replaced it when these became too expensive, is a quarter of a century old!

As ever, there will be a wide variety of layouts and trade, details of which can be found on the exhibition website.  

I'll be on the World of Railways stand for the duration - at least when I'm not wandering around shooting layouts for future issues of BRM. 

If you aren't sure about a visit, let this top chap persuade you. 

 I hope to see you there!
