Before returning to Stuttgart, a quick report on Wednesday’s meeting.  When I got there, just the three members were sitting wondering whether we’d be running any trains.  But by 7:30pm, a few more straggled in, so we put the layout up, and we ended up with nine people at the meeting.  I took just a few photos.  It was a busy evening….

Derek tested his new Co-Bo, and Allan his departmental coaches.

Meanwhile, back in Stuttgart, a few of Allan’s pictures from the show….

Lunchtime featured the very acceptable NCI soup….  or Allan’s currywurst!

Different views of Thursday night’s party…..

Allan’s train and the changing faces of Doverscourt….

There was a sprinking of snow on the van a couple of evening as we returned to the hotel.

Of course, watching trains can be boring!  Though Maxine spent a lot of time exploring the other halls at the Messe – pay once, visit all exhibitions.  What a good system.  I thought the Premier Inn translation may have lost something – or perhaps was very accurate?

We stayed an extra day in Stuttgart this year before driving home.  So my last Stuttgart posts will be of what we found….
