The following letter was recieved after exhibiting at Warley.
Hello I just wanted to say that I
attended the Warley show this year, with my dad, and we both thoroughly enjoyed
spending a lot of time leaning on the railing watching the trains go by on
Redbridge. The layout is brilliantly realised. The images in the magazines hint
at it's greatness but seeing it in the flesh is the only way to do
it justice. The way it was operated just can't be faulted either and
it is a really nice touch to have a screen telling us what was due next in each
direction. Dad and I were never train
spotters, but it was thoroughly entertaining to just stand and watch the
trains, wondering what the next one would look like and be hauled by, just like
spotters of these eras; all the while watching the pick-up goods or the
shunting operations in the foreground. On top of the attention to detail
and the skilful modelling, the lighting of the layout is excellent as
well. Dad is ill, and we don't know how
long we have left with him, so it's occasions like this (his first visit to
Warley), just the two of us, that mean so much. Thank you and everyone
associated with the layout for making the event so enthralling and
entertaining for us both. Best S |
