Here are a few pictures for those who missed the show...

I spent Saturday afternoon at the NMRA's St Lawrence Division switching layout, entertaining children (of all ages ), an entire pack of Wolf Cubs (younger Scouts), and encountered at least one Gauge member (sorry I didn't get your name...!).

Limpey Wharf

The ever popular Limpey Wharf has a N scale ride on in one backyard - that makes it ZZZ scale I have been told.

Thanks for all the great pictures, Andrew! Looks like the show covered everything. By the way, Gn15 is G scale on HO gauge.
