Nice pics, Max - I've just got home from the show, along with Marshman and the Creaky Beaver - a good show and a great day out, although the only things I bought were a couple of books and some glue - saving my money for a BR24......

Great show, as usual. Interesting to note the spread of gauges and scales, both layouts and traders. 64 mm, 45 mm & 32 mm gauges, Scales from 7/8 ths down to 1:32 (OK, and the T Scale layout in a briefcase)  Apparently 16 mm NGM policy.......interesting. there was an awful lot of "product" there to make the mouth water.

A couple more pic`s

Another view of the L&B setup

Swift 16 tram in the MOTY comp`

An NGG16 in the MOTY, not and Accucraft

Something from the early days of the hobby. Apparently Mamod base

Stopped off at the Rushden Transport museum on the way home (via A 45)

An old Midland Railway station well worth a look
That is all. Max.

I too had taken a pic of the beer bottle wagon...you beat me to it!

I still have 4 bottles of Purple Moose beer left..one is shouting to me now!!!

Anyway, a great show, I stayed until 15:00..then went to the Nene Valley railway diesel gala, and didn't leave there until the last train had departed.
Normal on site diesels plus GBRF 66, DB class 60, and a class 56 from HNRC?

Plenty of things to buy at the 16mm show, I bought second hand stuff from traders at very reasonable prices. The 16mm m2m stand was a bun fight... I was almost first into the hall, but about 30th into the m2m area...people were running past me!

Yes, 'twas a good show, albeit without my camera (mind you, with my photography we'd be none the wiser)

Good Pendlebury lunch - courtesy of Stockers.

I notice that was an early shot of the GRS stand - somebody put me out of my misery and bought the yellow Plymouth in the middle of the picture, only £450 !!

:O Where do you get the purple Moose wagons from?????

Brixham · 12 Apr 2015

The Purple Moose* wagons are ONLY available in 32mm gauge!!! I think from Chuffed 2 Bits....

Nothing to stop you making your own! Especially for 45mm
