The exhibition located in Hall 5 again, is a pleasure to visit. Excellent layouts, good trade support and as always, some manufacturers there as well, showing off their latest products and some pre production models as well. Seating areas around the hall also provide the visitors somewhere to sit and rest occasionally.

RobertM had brought along his latest incarnation of Esthwaite Docks. Still some issues to resolve but looking very good. With two screens demonstrating RailWorks and the third screen showing MS Train Simulator and OpenRails, there was plenty of interest from the visitors in all 3 products. Just Trains, also at the show sold out of RailWorks around 3pm on Sunday, so a good indication that there is a lot of interest in Train Simulation.

The larger hall makes a huge difference with wide aisles meant that the visitors never felt overwhelmed or pushed and shoved and not get clouted by a Rucksack filled with all manner of goodies. It also means that there was plenty of opportunity to stop and talk to traders / layout operators without the need to move quickly on as you were blocking an aisle.

Our thanks to Peter Smith (Demonstration Organiser) and the Warley MRC for the invitation, the refreshments and the location. Our thanks to all those that gave of their time to help us demonstrating, to those who dropped by for a chat and to the members of the public who visited the exhibition over the weekend.
Special thanks also to the crew who help break down the stand and help load the car at the end.
