This weekend - Friday 17th to Sunday 19th August - Bristol Model Engineers held their Model Engineering and Hobbies Exhibition at Thornbury Leisure Centre, BS35 3JB

Regular work party volunteer Steve Orchard sent us this report together with photos of his very attractive and well modelled 7¼" gauge L&BR rolling stock as well as some of the other exhibits also on display. Note the poster for the forthcoming L&B Gala is in a prominent position!

Steve comments - As you can see they had quite a few entries, so we were shuffled to the second row! I included the L&B Gala Poster together with details of the line and the restoration work we are accomplishing.

The venue was heaving (very hot and sweaty!) - hopefully I have generated even more interest in the L&B as a result of my attendance.

Our thanks to Steve for his support of the L&B at this show. His wagons will be on display at this years L&B Gala at Woody Bay 28th and 29th September
