An important part of making the day a success is asking members to sign in for insurance purposes and non members paying a small entrance fee that helps fund this and future events.

Chris Worby's Inglaterra layout has an excellent collection of weathered and work worn locomotives that portray a Cuban sugar mill loco shed of the early 21st Century. At that time sanctions prevented modernisation and meant that life expired locomotives had to be kept running creating a paradise for steam lovers to experience.
