The weather was kind. Too kind for me to consider wearing the official Garden Rail tweed jacket to a garden railway show!
The venue was, as usual, nice and spacious, and light inside. Not problem with photography here. Which doesn't explain why I mainly took pictures of the less serious models of course, that's just the way my mind works. I blame buying a steam loco early on, it jumbles my brain.
Anyway, what I did get the chance to do was chat to a lot of the trade, and some of the visitors. The general concensus was thet the NGRS show had been successful, with plenty of money spent. Happy trade means no problems rebooking them for next year, so a happy exhibition manager.
The layouts were nice, and we had the chance to see some vintage models running, including a Sgt Murphy.
It's interesting to see the rise in interest in these older models. I'll admit, they fascinate me, and I suspect there is a meths powered loco in my future...
Anyway, you can look at the full set of photos over on Flickr.
