hi guys
           today me and nigel went to the brighton model exhibition, it was a good day out, with loads of stuff there, mainly trains, which i like but its not really what i know, none the less there was some cracking train displays out on show. the uktc were there with what looked like a good display, with a wide range of tanks there, there was also rc car racing there but my batteries went tits up right when you need them :-\ i had to buy new ones there, there was also a little "pond" which had a few rc boats in it, good fun for the kids, as was the slot car racing they had as well, in short there was tons of things going on there to much to list here now, i will later tonight, or tommorow post some of the photos i took, as they say a picture paints a 1000 words, i cant do them now as i got to "process them 1st, and that takes ages.
i cant see why this forum/club dont look into going next year as a club like the uktc did this year !!!

hi stewart,
                no sorry i havnt got any details of the loco you mentioned, unfortunatly i know little about trains, though i do like them, and today i took a picture of anything that got in the way of my camera ::) ;D, when at a show like this, i dont think to ask questions of the owners, i'm to much like a big kid in a sweet shop,
no worries about editing the post stewart, i should of known how to spell it, after you told us what it stands for ::) ::) ;D
