This event is slightly earlier than usual next year. I will see if we can get a large space alloted to the forum and see how many of us can make it there. For a report of this years event see here:

http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/ftopic3216-0.php

Probably the biggest Toy Steam event in the South, and it is certainly well worth going to! Naturally those exhibiting for the forum will spread the word about us

So who is likely to be coming? You don't have to pre book by the way it is just a case of turning up and signing a book!

Andy and myself will certainly come along, we enjoyed it last time and the varied collection of 'exhibits' was well worth seeing.

The homemade cake in the cafe was probably worth the visit alone

Is anyone else planning on exhibiting at the event? I may call up and reserve us a space so we are all next to each other, and to promote the forum of course

I was at Tilford 2007 with some friends who are also into steam engines and accessories.
Here are some photo's of what we took.











and here are some photo's of some of the other exhibits.

Unfortunately only two belong to me, the other belongs to a friend. But we are trying to stop them becoming extinct.
