The 2017 Show (Saturday 30th September 2017)

 The 3rd show in its new Autumn slot, and the landmark 50th exhibition since commencing in 1968, this show had 31 layouts in attendance; a slight downgrade due to one of the usual halls already being occupied by another sports activity.

From N to 0 gauge, and from Wales to Germany, the layouts of varying scales and sizes were on show for all the general public to see.

What follows is the usual selection of pictures taken on the Saturday of the show, with 29 layouts getting attention. The following, as per usual:
