"Not the snow again!!" Wailed Alf as he was charged into the heavy drift....
"Oh no! The Talyllyn Railway is covered in snow! Whatever will we do?" The ever reliable Alf:
Fun fact: I later found out that @10LEIGH10 and I had been bidding against one another on Lady Hatt. I offered to sell it to him for 25k but he only offered a packet of crisps. A Cheese and onion one at that!
Cool cool! I did notice the Lady Hatt figure and was like, wait a minute did Neil win that too?!
My Two AwdryEx traditions remain unbroken: 1) Fail to get my Wilbert model on the Farquhar layout, 2) a photo with Veronica Chambers.
US Thomas fans: We can gather a very large group at model railway shows. UK Thomas fans: hold our beers... (This is, of course, meant in jest and not to detract from any positive fan gathering in any shape or form.)

You know you've done well when you and some of the AwdryEx team walk into a chippy and complete strangers cheer you.
And that was that. What a weekend it has been. A delight to see faces old and new, witness first hand the joy it brings us all and be a part of something so phenomenal. I was a small cog in a much larger machine. Full praise must go to those who have spent two years planning it.
Organised ‘The Grand Finale’ - what on earth is my lifeeeee 😵💫
