Met up with @Flying15 (Chris) at the show after he mentioned that he would be present with his Clan Pacific and other created wonders from scratch built bodies on varying proprietary chassis. The show turned out rpti be much mire than I thought and can commend it as a worthwhile visit next year if you cab make it. I got to the show by train with the venue being but a 5 or so minutes easy walk from the Railway Station. In summary there was 1 commercial trade stand and a very well stocked society M2M sales stand with lots of fair priced products. Of the layouts there were I think 8 layouts one being Gn15 in the same room as Chris’s engine shed layout. Whiteleaf the I think Bucks group with the many varied much Tramed Layouts had another variation with a U shaped terminus to reversing loop line. So on with the pics.

More pics from the day. Layout on the stage in the main hall.
There were more side rooms with layouts.

I was particularly taken by this scratch buikt Irish Belfast and County Down 2-4-2 tank.

The same guy also owned this 4-4-0 cpscratch built by himself, note all his stock was fitted with Kd couplings for reliability.

The village street on the reverse loop section. Swift 16 battery powered Railcar shows up.

Finally the new simple station with run round and siding. Note also effective use of Astro Turf for the layout.
