I've resisted the temptation long enough I think...
We're only a couple of weeks away from the first anniversary of the completion of our masterpiece. When we first completed the layout, which was built solely with the intention of public display, there was one major goal that we set ourselves - the biggest exhibition of them all, the Daddy - Warley!
So earlier in the year, I sent an email with some information and a couple of Youtube video links, thinking that I probably wouldn't get considered. Let's face it, vintage Hornby & Hornby Dublo is already generally well represented but, low and behold, late one evening came a reply...
We've been provisionally accepted to exhibit in 2017, which is also their 50th show and 25th appearance at the NEC. I'm thrilled at the prospect of being able to exhibit at such a milestone and of course, confirmation is still a long way off, but within 12 months of finishing construction, we've got ourselves the booking we really wanted.
So we've got two and a bit years to tweak this thing to perfection. In fairness it runs well and there isn't that much work to do but it will have to be absolutely perfect by November 2017.
The clock is ticking...
