Anyone planning to visit the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition at the NEC, Birmingham over the weekend of 25/26 November will be able to study the full intricacies of the Wainwright SECR livery - the Bluebell's H class 0-4-4T No.263 will be there with the Hornby stand. This is to mark the forthcoming Hornby model of the H class & No.263 has been fully repainted to exhibition standard by Heritage Painting especially for the event.

There will be other full size locos on display - GWR 14XX 'Autotank' No.1450 & 2' gauge loco 'Fiji' from Statfold are also scheduled to attend.
A bit too far for me unfortunately, but looks like it will be a great event.
