Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy it. The layout has now appeared at 24 exhibitions between 2002 and 2012. It was at Warley and Wigan in 2011 and at the Newcastle exhibition on 10 & 11 November 2012. This may be its final appearance as I have no further bookings but, if you are an exhibition manager and are interested in it appearing at your model railway exhibition, please contact me via the the email address given on the above Message Board |
