As requested, here's some photos of Bristol 08 exhibition.
This is the first time I've used my new camera at an exhibition in a leisure centre, so advanced apologies for any bad lighting or colour casts.
I've tried to do some correcting where possible.

Firstly some shots of my club's layout:-
Hazelhurst 31mm gauge finescale, 7mm scale

Busy setting up:


The Coal Yard:


Close-up view of the coal stage:


The Workmen's retreat:
 

The Loco's House:


Entrance to the freight Department:


Here Be Goods :!: :


The Goods/Industrial Complex Throat:


I'll post these and then add some more below.

One of the well acclaimed layouts on the circuit is Blea Moor.
Not my cup of tea, as it was only built to show off the rolling stock.
Judging by the crowds, I'm in a minority. See what you think:







can you imagine MikeC or ChrisN being happy with that :?:


Hope Beringar was an N gauge layout by Bristol East MRC, which I managed to grab a few shots of during the set-up:





And I grabbed a couple of Caeu Uchaf, an OO gauge layout by Barnhill MRC, at the same time:




This leaves the best two (in my opinion) until last.
I'll post those next.

Thanks for these, Jeff.
 It's a great-looking goods shed on your club layout.
 Blea Moor is an odd one. Its buildings look nice though.
 At least you had the type of layout that interest me.  I was disappointed with Brisbane's selection.  
 It must be good to be able to check them out before the crowds are there.

I like the 2nd pic of Barnhill MRC.

Yes being part of a setup crew getting in before the crowds is a good idea. I have been involved with a few Exhibitions & slept over in the hall with many others so we get to have a good look without  the noise & bodies.

Having spent half of Sunday getting stock on my layout and then only managing three rakes of coaches I am always in awe of how quickly these layouts get set up and taken down at exhibitions!
