What a day yesterday, left the hotel at 8am and not back until 9pm after dinner - exhausted but so wonderful to meet such lovely people, talk about the layout and catch up with friends old and new…
This is not a review, more a few choice photos from my meandering yesterday.

| Chris and Oly, a pleasure as always… |

| Uckfield, a single line terminus… a potential Mosslanda for sure… |
And we’ll do it all over again today…
Normal service will resume on Tuesday. Until next time, more soon…

Morning James, what a feast! Port de Crozon in particular looks amazing! I've never been to the Uckfield show sadly, despite growing up about 15 miles away. The beer and trains looked great on Friday night, I often yearn for a simple circuit and a basic train, but as soon as I have one then I seem to have to complecate it by adding bits! Have a good day today, it looks like an inspiring show.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
P S. I'm off to the Cornwall O gauge show today.
Hope you enjoyed the Cornwall O gauge show… a good day again today!
DeleteIt was good to see you, Steve, and everyone else yesterday, James. I'd missed the show for a few years and it was lovely to get to it again. Worth the 290 mile round trip? Absolutely!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good day today and a safe journey home.
Cheers, Simon.
Thank you Simon, travelling home tomorrow!
DeleteUckfield always looks to be a stunning show with some great layouts and this year is no different. Superb. Sadly it’s too far away for me to be able to get there.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the Uckfield show and it was good to see Coalbridge. It really is a cracking little layout. It was good to chat and learn a bit about your construction methods, which has inspired me to try something similar, I've a few UK outline industrial locos so I'm just trying to come up with something to run them on. The show itself was fantastic with a high standard of modelling, I came away with so many ideas, including the delightful single line station!
