We were invited back for our seventh appearance at Monkton Park Primary School's Christmas Fair. We had five trains on the layout during peak times, with a mix of express trains and local stopping trains to create some congestion.

	We had a crowd round our layout for the whole event, either watching the trains go by, looking at the children’s handiwork, or joining in by driving a train.
	Our layout plan refined last year’s design by adding some S124 viaduct sections for easier cable routing, and incorporating our new 45 degree corner modules to replace the undecorated end cap we used last year.
	You can imagine the fallen leaves being stirred by the last train of the day heading into the distance as a Voyager DEMU heads away from the Autumn Days module.
