Dear All

I'm pleased to announce pictures of the fourth Great Western LEGO Train Show
at STEAM, the Museum of the Great Western Railway in Swindon, UK.  The event
took place on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th October and saw over 2600 visitors
through the doors.

Brilliant work, guys!  Your layout is filled with many stunning MOCs in stunning
colors that {really} is very pleasing in appearance.  It seems to me to be more
asthetically pleasing to present a layout {in-line} rather than in a large
rectangular-type format.  Unless the backdrops for a large, enclosed layout is
extensive, I think the "background noise" of the other side is too distracting
and detracts from the overall presentation.  Does that make any sense?  I mean,
<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2061989 this> is so nice (apart
from the vagrant sleeping in the back....just kidding, Dean:-) having a "quiet"
background of the wall to allow the viewer to focus on the layout and appreciate
it more fully.

Thanks for that John, it does seem to work well.
I suppose the Lego shows over here tend to be one group in a smallish
area whereas yours are lots of groups in a HUGE hall making linear
layouts impractical.

Oh yeah, my brother was banned from the second day :D (Well, He had
other things on anyway)
