Enjoy it Andrew it's a beautiful city, I can recommend Tussauds on 42nd street and you've got to visit the ice rink at the Rockerfella Centre and ... well, I'm sure you're limited for time. If you get the chance, please take some pictures for me from ground zero, thank you.

Brilliant photos Geoff.  Thanks very much for posting them.
Far too many great models to select winners from - butI DID love the Austin A30 with the winch under the bonnet. :cool: :thumbsupup:

Thanks for the kind comments Jim but the model was not mine but built by Ian Sadler and winner of the SIG contest this year. Ian has built many of the models we've displayed over the years and had several of those models displayed at the Hornby Visitor Centre at Margate.

This is my 3rd year of going to telford and i think this was the better year.

Before going i aimed to avoid the kit swap - reason behind this was the last couple of years its been in a small area and que was massive, in order to view the kits you would need to lose your place in the que

This year was far better. It was in a lot bigger area and the que to pay was well out of the way to viewing area. well done to the organisers for that it was a great improvement.
