As you know, BVE is a regular feature at the Acton Museum, London. This year it was run by Paul Jobber, James Underwood and myself, with Tom Beevers on the Saturday and Chris Jolly on the Sunday. The stand owner (Jason Berryman) was busy in another area.

Photographs taken by Tom Beevers.

Here, we see James Underwood and me talking, with Paul Jobber at the controls.

Here, we see James Underwood and myself having a good old laugh with Paul (right).

Looking out to the audience. Paul Jobber is driving and I am standing next to him on the right hand side of the image.

James Underwood on the Northern Line. The small boy in the grey coat had us all in stiches saying 'Turn the window swipers on!!!' after seeing the 1995ts.

The one in June did run.

Anyway, what would a BVE stand be doing at a family weekend?

It's called advertising and it's to do with trains in London (LU anyway) :roll:

Horn - check.
Swipers - this train isn't BVE4 so has not got swipers.







Tom knows what I mean ;)

There were issues surrounding the graphics card on the monitor, meaning we had to press a certain key combination which tabbed out of the current app., therefore BVE4 would not work.

I said it in jest.
