There's another "York"

One of my favorite places to visit is York, UK.  It's a great historical site with many museums; the best of which is the National Railway Museum.  The English really love their trains - real and model.  My impression is that, on a per-capita basis, the UK has more train enthusiasts than the US, but that's just my observation.  Operating heritage railways are everywhere.

 

Although I've never been to it, one of the biggest model railway shows in the UK is held in York (what a coincidence!).  It seems to be oriented a bit more toward display layouts than our York meet.  I've considered trying to go to it, but it is always scheduled close to the time of the Eastern Division York meet; I can't go to both, and I haven't yet been able to pull myself away from the TCA meet.  (And then there's the challenge of shipping stuff back home if I buy something.)

 

Has anyone been to the show in York, UK?  Stories to tell?

 

Here's a video that I found:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkiqiXpAeL0.
