Heart of the Midlands Exhibition Pt.2

Following my previous post, here are a few pictures from the weekend. Unfortunately I didn't get around to taking pictures until Sunday morning or else I'd have posted on the prior evenings.

We got set up on Friday afternoon/evening, all good out of the box. Unusually we weren't the only American outline layout at a exhibition, we were actually 1 of 4. There were 2 European and the rest British, total of 38 in all I believe.

Saturday was really busy from doors open at 10am until about 3.30pm, hence little time for pictures or to get around to look at other exhibits. Initial reports suggested a 25% increase in foot fall over previous year.

Sunday was a little steadier but constant across the day. Managed to look around a little but didn't take lots of pictures of the other exhibits but there are some videos, by others, on YouTube already, just search for "Loughborough Model Railway Exhibition 2019".

Padden Flatts as set up:



UP 1803 brings in grain hoppers for the days work:




All under the watchful eye of Billy the Bison (our mascot who we brought back from Wyoming earlier in the year)


Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable show, thanks due to all the organisers and to our other operators for the weekend.

Happy Railroading!
