I'm happy enough to make this the Stoneleigh picture thread, so if everyone could post their general Stoneleigh pics here please

First layout visited for me, John Roger's Pigsty Brewery Tramway. Very neat little layout

An array of Forum member's MOTY entries

The heritage stand, 2011 edition

Hopfields, Kent Area Group layout

Westfield Light Railway

The Swanage models model of Lilla, final version and looks MUCH better then the prototype

The Berry Hill works stand had a large proportion of the Westwood and Loscoe steam fleet on display

Isle of Westland train on Hopfields

The 15mm scale Irish display

The Rhydypenderyn layout, with an imprecabbly behaved Mortimer going round

"It's a Cracker"
More to come later

OK, one or two of mine.

Nice to talk to Mr Bond and made-in-england, who both recognised a certain very blue diesel. Quite by accident I found myself by Sir Haydn when the forum group photo was being taken (I had forgotten the time, but had been prevailed upon to allow Connor another go on No. 3's footplate). Apologies for neither remembering, nor really being able to join in the discussions.

Did anyone get a photo of said very blue diesel on Dixon Green? Sadly the Simplex suffered a radiator fault and was unable to make its appearance.

Never said there was did I?

Anyhow, since it was a special occasion, what IS the correct term for a group of Sir Haydn's?

Sir Haydn with Sir Haydn with Sir Haydn with Sir Haydn with ....Sir Haydn!

Did Brian finish off his platform do we know?

Or was he left doing it one handed!!!!!!!

Right, ready for another splurge of photos...

Priory Lane, with a Roundhouse/GRS Elsa running round

At the DJB stand, the radiating gear for the Murial looked very nice indeed

As does the beginings of Welsh Pony

Dante was just a bit dwarfed by its compatriate locos

Finally!!! A Solution to the Bluebottle problem. BOOM!!

Lewis was completely robbed in my opinion. How come this didn't win the passenger stock trophy? Really lovely model

Killer Bunny nibbling the DVLR logo...

Tarragg shed and those smoky garratts

Another of Tony W's lovely lining jobs

Caption Comp? Andy, Made in England and DLR Dan. Not sure what Dan is saying to Will....

A lovely suprise on the Fairbourne Railway stand, 1/12th scale Katie (Guest Lt eng company version)

Mr Bond preaches his message of Laser cutting

And with the Junior Cup, which Zach managed to win. Unfortunatly it was marred by him fogeting to bring the IMP Passenger Stock shield back from last year!!

Finally, bunny guided driving on the way home
Many thanks to all 17 members who turned up to the forum meet (best turnout ever I reckon). I personally think that was the best Stoneleigh I've attended, maybe a bit quieter then last year anda bit more pleasant to be in there. RIP Stoneleigh

:lol: :lol: I believe the platform was finished barring a little weathering and the blood cleaned up from the showroom floor OK after he's superglued his arm back on!

:lol: ;)

Ratty quate: Lewis was completely robbed in my opinion. How come this didn't win the passenger stock trophy? :

I felt the same way, it was high competition this year and I didnt think Zach would win anything this year but I really thought Lewis would win the passenger stock trophy.

what did win?

The best of my photos...

These and a few others can also be seen on my website: http://www.freewebs.com/mvr/community.htm

I did also get some video that might eventually see the light of day, if I can ever get my head around the editing software!
It was certainly a good event, nice to go to Stoneleih one last time after my abscence last year, and to finally meet some of you in person.

If you look, the saw's UNDER my arm, not over it! More in danger were legs and gonads!

And yes, it is finished - I've just got to finish the staining and excavate a fair bit of lineside border to accommodate it.
