next entryExhibiting One's Self
House of Card?
We're up relatively early today since we'd spied an advert in the local rag for a train exhibition that was being held just the other side of Oxford and we though it might be cool to go have a look and get ideas / things for Phil's layout.
When we get there (after some pretty horrendous traffic jams) we are both quite surprised by the sheer number of people who are exhibiting at the show, and the number of people there. It was all quite serious, and I've a feeling Phil and I might have stuck out a little bit since lets say the show attracted a certain genre of people!
There were a few really impressive layouts, but I have to say equally there were quite a few naff ones, but I'm not really an expert so shouldn't pass opinion. We got some very cool cardboard model kits of various types of buildings that we can add to Phil's layout once we've glued them all together, and had a good gander at all the various bits and pieces on sale. We didn't buy any trains or rolling stock though since the prices at the show were on a par, if not a bit more expensive, than the shop we currently get that sort of thing from.
We then head off into Oxford since Phil has got a hair appointment booked and after devouring a KFC, he gets washed and clipped and I wander around the shops.
The evening is quite dull in comparison :)
