A very exciting email arrived in my inbox at the weekend confirming not only the return of the Model Rail Scotland exhibition in Glasgow in February, but also an invitation to bring Bron Hebog.
Needless to say we jumped at the opportunity to show the layout for the first time in nearly two and a half years.
(I don't mind admitting that there have been times during this pandemic when I wondered whether we ever would again?)
On a personal level it seems quite weird to be thinking about returning to those giant SEC halls for something as frivolous as a model railway exhibition.
For most of 2020 the place had been transformed into an enormous emergency Covid-19 hospital, and right now the place is in the process of being turned into Fort Knox as the venue for the Cop26 climate change summit.
Come February, all being well, our Backwoods Garratts will spend three days coffee-grinding their way around the S-bends with what must be the longest and heaviest 009 trains you'll see running on any layout in the UK.
It's a great show, and Glasgow's a great city. It will wonderful to get back to exhibiting, and we'd love to see you there!
Excellent news! I have been in past years and will go again.
