Hello and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best.

Hello Ranger and a warm welcome to the forum. Would it be the "Rocket 150" celebrations that you're thinking of? Based if memory serves me right at Bold Colliery. If so theres some stuff on the BBC website about it.
www.bbc.co.uk/archive/steamtrains/7305.shtml will get you there.

Hello Ranger and welcome to the Railway Forum. Sorry I did not go to the exhibition in Manchester so can't answer your question.

Welcome to the Forum Ranger. Look forward to your posts.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
