and finaly, an over all shot, showing most of the layouts.


i extend a thank you to all those in the southshore group, west sussex, who helped setting up and running the show, the ladies in the kitchen, the traders who did well, to the chap from the west sussex N gauge group who brought his layout along (bottom right) and a very speical to richard (pictured, seated) who once again did a great job at greeting visitors and being the cheery face people see first.

personaly, i thank all those both here, on the forum, and in the club who have helped me greatly with the layout, a thank you to all who visited (should they happen to see this, and a thanks to john and stephen for turning up and putting some faces to names on from the forum.

cheers guys.

Nice report Andy! I agree with Martin, that your fine layout deserves a better presentation, with skirt and valance and lights and all!!

thanks guys, it was a great weekend. good fun.

im thinking about a valance, but i think it may be too low, the layout is run from the back so i nedd to be able to see over and lean over the backscene. with a vlance views would have to lean down to see the layout. the rest of the dressing up wil be sorted out before next show :) (hopefuly worthing, in sept)
