It would be nice to see more exhibits having a bit of information with them to not only encourage the public to learn about them but also to stop owners having to answer the same questions time and time again!

I'm sure the list of common questions is pretty much the same for all steam engine owners!

I agree with this, but some owners do it really well with lots of information.

Maybe we could come up with a template that people could use, fill in the details about your exhibit, include some photographs, some standard text common to all steam exhibits and a printable display board is output at the end. We could do that on TT actually.
