Roadshow Reports

Last weekend the club Roadshow Team travelled to Staffordshire, Statfold country Park is near Tamworth, and has many attractions for all ages and interests.

The layout was erected in the usual efficient manner on the Friday as usual, and I arrived on the Saturday morning, even before the show opened we were running our engines, but soon the crowds arrived and we as busy as ever. Being a location with its own narrow gauge steam railway, many of our visitors knew how steam engines worked but were still fascinated to see the oo cutaway mallard made by David known as Arfur, and commented on the marvels of miniature engineering. Here is Arfur on top of the newly made loco display stand made by shop manager Nick.

Throughout the show the tannoy system was playing 1970 music, abba, Eagles etc. great for those of us from that era! Also at intervals the St John brass band was competing just outside the open door.

Here are some more photos from the weekend:

Plus there's a lot more I could add. Thanks to all the Roadshow members who kept the trains running all weekend, and to Roadshow manager Val for organising it all.
