Yesterday Brettell Road made its return to the exhibition scene in its extended form. The show went very well I thought and we all enjoyed ourselves. Theres a snagging list for me to work through, of course, but nothing major. The layout seemed very well received and we were honoured to be awarded the Frank Collins Award for best layout in show as voted for by the Cradley Heath MRC committee. Somewhat poignant for me as Frank had assisted me with info for the model of the Round Oak admin building before he passed away. I like to think he would have approved of my efforts. The kids seemed to enjoy themselves looking for the cats on the layout and and the strategically hidden lego Batman that the club provided.
Quick thanks to my operating team and the members of the CHMRC for their efforts.
