A shot of the fabulous Rounce family layout featuring 1920s and 1930s stock, a combination of clockwork and electric propulsion being used to keep the trains moving.

Not a bad day at all today, around 400 visitors and £3,979 taken though there may be a bit more via Martyn's card machine so we might crack £4,000 for the day yet !

Well done and thank you to all concerned whether volunteers, exhibitors or the public

See you next time or maybe even come for a brakevan ride behind our locomotive no. 5576 Sir Tatton Sykes beginning on Easter Sunday 31st March starting at 10.00am, subject to availability.

It is nice to see you all had a good day, just a shame I could not be there.

Great news from the attendance and the takings. Thanks to all our volunteers efforts. A great day.

Well done to all volunteers at the show, there was certainly a lot of interest, record takings, and new contacts have been made.

Very puzzled by this report as Richard Dixon told me there had been 800 visitors and over £5k made on the door alone?????

My stall plus Graham’s took over £500

Richard is perhaps not the mathematician he thinks he is!!

When we did the final counting after everyone had gone and it was quiet, he realised his mistake, sorry!

It was still a fab day though

Oh how disappointing but as you say it was a great show and a great success.
