All the chatty stuff aboutRail-Ex is on threads that have a limited shelf life. So, here we have a thread for the record.

#5, walking, not talking, takes in Grandad's (that's me) Sn3½ layout called Glen Road, named after her father, who built the station shed.

Top end of my exhibits.... no ugly barriers, no damage. Love the carpet on the floor. Don't be silly, its not to make the place pretty, but more to protect the Basketball courts. I freely admit the origins of the layouts.
For the record, Silverpine Tramway, and the basic original of Petherick Quay (formerl Foreign Layout), are by DCR fan of this parish. Haywards Estate, the additions to Petherick Quay, and Glen Road (previously Pizza 'n' Beer, are my creations. Ginlenook Shunting Puzzle is influenced by the work of the late Carl Arendt.

The 'funny' engine, on the 'cute' layout. Apparently, a lot of folks, especially women, think my layouts are cute.

Drool over this for a venue, and, it's only a ten minute walk from home. This is only one side of the hall, Sunday, before opening and full lights on.

Layout across the aisle from me. Sure reminded me of Kings Cross, checked it out, and that's what the sign said. Hornby Dubblo, one of at least three empires of that genre on show.
The Hornby Tinplate are seen in the previous photo.

Wellington Group outdid themselves this year, an excellent display, that showed variety, and ran well. Resources were well tested, as many from the group were involved with other exhibits as well.
