MSRVS Rally PicturesHere are some pictures of the MSRVS show that I exhibited at.
There are more to come plus some videos 
My stand. We were exhibiting in the 'Model Avenue in our own display marquee. We was given another table when we arrived ontop of the three we normally take so I had the oppurtunity to spread my engines out a bit more this time which in my opinion looks better

Some of the other exhibits in Model Avenue 
Sid Jacksons brilliant display of engines. I bought three engines from him over the weekend at some very reasonable prices
Almost a full set of Bowmans!

Jim, marvelous collection and such a nice way to display them. That multi-tiered shelving unit really gets them up and visible to a passerby.
Do I spy a DR Mercer in the mix...how I would love one of those!!!!

Thanks Roger! I have to thank my grandad for the shelving, the display used to look a bit cramped and on his own back without me even asking he went and made these shelves
You do spy a Mercer in there, my 3rd or 4th engine, my grandad and I went halves on it when I was about 6, even half of whatever it was then was a lot of money for me at the time 
I must look for some old pictures of my display to scan in at some stage, and also of the Whitchurch Miniature Steam Rally that was held in my grandparents back garden for two years running

Thanks! Would be good to see you next year! Is a very nice show
This year I bought the overtype with the red flywheel behind my Wilesco D24, the Wells School Traction Engine on the end of the second shelf and the LBSC/ME steam crane underneath the Wells engine on the table

I ran the steam crane a few times, the Wells once and I attempted to run the overtype engine The two hot air engines ran almost continously all weekend aswell with top ups of hot water every 20 or so minutes
