Guildford on a wet Saturday, what could make things worse?Mr. Hill and self noodled off to Surrey. A trade show for the O gauge persuasion. Essentially an exhibition in reverse: lots of dedicated trade stands and a small number of layouts dotted …
There was a layout exhibited over the weekend; let’s call it Duckling Ghyle. Well known, but for some reason I’d never seen it in the flesh, despite it having been around for decades. Disappointed? Most definitely. The modelling was superb; imposs…
