Excellent! Thanks so much for posting the pix.
Where's the group shot? 
Looks like a nice show. How many people exhibited?

Hi Dave, thank you very much for sharing all these pictures with us. Looks like a good show with interesting models.

Nice  thanks Dave.

I noted a couple of the Clarkson models on show. For anyone who is not aware these casting sets are once again available from Blackgates in the UK. And the basic vertical and horizontal engines were priced to help the beginner get into our hobby

Thanks for those Dave, I'll have a better look tonight.

Jo I thought you would spot the Clarkson, are all the kits available or will they cast them to order. That "witch" engine would be a good one to add to your collection

I did look at the Witch a couple of times.

Thanks Dave!!!  Great pictures and from the looks of them, some very talented builders. I am glad things are looking up for the show...maybe one of these years I will be able to get out there for it.

Thanks everyone for having a look.

Maybe later this week I can get down to my brother’s house and retrieve his pictures; we probably have a lot of duplicates though. He also shot some video and maybe I can post some of that as well.
I would guess not counting the vendors there were around 30 folks exhibiting.

Jo if you are looking for Witch castings send me a PM

As Dave mentioned, I was able to attend the Gears Show. It was a good show with the number of hours spent on builds clearly obvious. I can't add to Dave's pictures, they'd just be duplicates of his.

I do believe Dave's display showed the best polish there.

Also, note the tiny model vice on the side. Nice.

There was also an IC opposed piston engine that reminded me of Brian Rupnows recent build. I'm sorry I don't have written down who the builder is. It is his design though.

After coming home and looking at Brian's again, I think the linkages are different. But it reminded me of his anyway.

It was nice to see, up close and personal, a number of very nicely built engines. But I think it's more interesting to follow the builds here on MEM. Something seems missing to just see the finished product. Thank you all for putting up build logs, please keep them coming.

Thanks.

My Brother sent me the picture that he took at the show; I went through them and will try to skip the duplicates.
