John,
Sorry you didn't make it. The show was extremely busy on Saturday but less frenetic on Sunday. I didn't get the opportunity to spend much time looking around but there seemed to be some good stuff there although I did feel it was a little dominated by trade stands. Although hard to define, it did come across more like a commercial exhibition (which it is) than the sort of "cosier" atmosphere of a club sponsored exhibition but that is not a criticism.
"Alloa" seemed to be well received and we had an almost permanent crowd several deep other than late Sunday afternoon when things generally tailed off quite considerably. As operators we were very busy keeping trains moving - it's a real dilemma as to prototypical movements and timings versus keeping the crowd happy with always something moving. Not too busy however to spot and converse intermittently with a few expected and unexpected old faces. All in all, very good and good fun.
Mike
