Southampton Model Railway Exhibition.

 A good couple of days were spent at SMRC 2012 exhibition. The venue was warm and spacious, just as well because the Saturday was very busy.
Some 50 odd stands were present including twenty two layouts.
My operating colleague Nigel, patiently assisted-he's still smiling in this photo anyway.
Saturday was a little fraught because Hennock had spent the night previous in the back of the car and took a little time to warm up-bit like us really!
The only other problem was the left hand fiddle yard deciding not to play on the Sunday. This Nigel identified as a dry joint and it was quickly fixed.


 This shows a busy time with the branch goods being shunted- I am very pleased with the Mica's, an excellent model.

 Nigel's 45XX at the water tank, this makes a good cameo photo I think.

Lane Rage!
Someone has to back down and it looks from the Tractor drivers folded arms that it won't be him!
