Stan,

Have sent you an IM, but in case you miss it, I am visiting the UK at the moment, and staying in sunny Manchester. Am missing Russia badly.

Kindest,

Well its frosty in the North West today, but tomorrow it will be dry and cloudy.
Good weather for travelling, so if you get to the Rainhill Village Hall early, there may still be bacon baps available.

As well as our Sales Tables there will also be Worsley Works and A1 Models with lots of interesting items.

The exhibitors will only be to pleased to answer your questions on their layout or stock and any other questions you may have.
Thats what railway modelling is about, sharing ideas between like minded people.

Frank Allen will be showing his Radio Controlled locos & layout.

Do come along, this is a very friendly show especially after we have taken your cash !

See you there, do come and say hello.
