Hi
brilliant show has to rate as the best yet but it was 100 years. Just being able to look at Cherrys models was enough but some of the other work was of an incredible standard. Stalls were much the same as every show and at no discount prices but thats the way these dealers go now and to be honest I dont go to buy stuff but to look at the models.

What did you think?

sadly i could not stay as long as i wanted, but the show and venue i thought were very very good,.

i was lucky i have a good freind on the maintenance team at ascot racecourse so i manged to get in for free too !- so it was a flying visit for me on sunday morning with my son, we had a ride on the live steam trains too, the models were amazing, i loved the napier engine and the exhibits that were close to that dispaly, i stood for an age admitring them....

will schedule in a full day next time, i sadly was only there for 80 minutes....

HI
sadly im not sure Cherry hills models will be there next year. One look at her models was enough to convince me I will never be that good. Not a detail missed and all working parts work! even the taper cocks on the cylinders and the size is under 30 thou for the bores of the cocks. Incredible work. The only thing im looking forward to next year is my models being there for the first tme interesting if a bit nervouse lol
