Warley at Statfold

Last weekend saw the third showing of my layout, at the Warley at Statfold show. I'm pleased to say the learnings from previous shows have been applied and those problems haven't recurred. Some new ones arose, but they were minor in comparison:

Show 1: take 3 operators not 2, so you can have a break and see the rest of the exhibits!

Show 2: isolate the traverser when moving it, to avoid shorts which shut down the wifi!

Show 3: don't bring any stock which isn't 110% reliable just because it looks nice (except for static display). Luckily, I had backup locos and wagons for everything.

My helpers are now experienced in running things, and answering questions from the public, which is lucky as I managed to lose my voice on Saturday!

That's it for this year. Booked for a couple in 2026.
