Hi all This years Zedex was a slightly different format than previous years. The venue was moved to Abingdon and Witney college and other scales incorporated with the Z scale concentrated in one hall. Branded as Oxrail, the show had a busy footfall from early on and there seemed to be a lot more families visiting. I had taken 'Republic Steel' again but this time in British railways 'Railblue' era with a lot of british diesels and electrics demonstrating how 3D printing and Kit-bashing helps to build up representative stock.
