The show site will be quite unique, there will be three gauges of rail track operating, it will have standard gauge rail with Bellerophon running train rides, also a 2ft steam hauled working line for the road building gang, that is promising to be a spectacular site with the Road Inspector in his Austin seven. Also on display should be some 3 foot gauge rail with a rather rare and unique exhibit that not many people know exists, or have seen.

I wonder how many other sites have three rail gauges?

Happy days . . . . . . . .

Sam,

Friday will be a fully working rally day with the added benefit of the auction too.

Looking forward to coming back to Welland again with the showman's. One of the best shows I've been to and
I'm sure this year will be better then ever. I would recommend it to anyone who has not been before and those who have will agree with my comments.
