Time was against me this year. My two days of wandering were trimmed to one due to other commitments. Not to worry, I cracked on, and talked to all the trade, as well as enjoying a little of the layout.
According to the people I chatted to, Saturday was busier than it has been for years. Sunday seemed to be about normal to me, so I'd say this is very good news for the hobby. Busy shows hopefully mean the trade take some cash, and there are loads of people enjoying themselves.
Over the years, the members of the 16mm modular group have been upping their game, with some stunning models, full of detail, and worthy of being layouts on their own.
Another star was Brunel Models Gauge 3 of Ross-on-Wye station. Part of a much larger layout, one I'd love to see!
Among the layouts, Loft City Central has been expanded considerably, but now takes half a day to set up!
Little Phil had to make do with a sausage roll, as the Saturday crowds had depleted the stocks of cake.
I've been experimenting with shooting video on my phone, so see if it's good enough for social media. The results don't look too bad to me, what do you think?
