Some feedback from visitors:
* A very pleasant excursion. Plenty of people to chat with and some interesting layouts and models on display.
* Yes, I enjoyed my visit too. A broad range of scales and settings!
* Cracking day out!
* Shame I was on a limited timescale but enjoyed it. Maybe the 7mm narrow gauge a bit too much…
