I went for two of the four days. The show finishes Sunday afternoon. Impressions below, and photos to follow…..

The show was up to the usual standard.  The N-gauge modular layout had its usual mix of very good, and perhaps more average, modelling.  There were some interesting HO and HO-m layouts as well, but perhaps not as good as last year’s, when two Dutch layouts really stood out.

The good:

• Set up was very quick, as we weren’t on the end of a long line of modules and having to wait for everyone else.
• Operation was fun, as we had control of a major junction.  It got a bit lively at times, with trains coming from three directions.
• The Thursday night social was very good.

The bad:

• The barrel of Sussex bitter ran out half way through Thursday night.  I guess we had too many vistors through the day testing it (to say nothing of the ESNG members).
