RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted June 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 11, 2017 Where? When? What? Who? Why? And did they? Answers to any two of the above could be usefu. I could google it, but knowing my luck I'll get Thomas being put down by some Dales vet. Regards Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Curiosity killed the cat. For some strange reason, when I attach the information to bring it back, the poster, it disappears, unless I attach two copies. So now, two. Any further questions?

Nearholmer Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 It occurred to me that many 'vintage fans' keep their RMWeb settings to collectable/vintage only. Anyway, a lot of money to hire a fancy, big venue ........ so it would be a pity if it wasn't well attended. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 12, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2017 To me 'the train collectors society' conjours up an image of a load of elderly gentlemen staring at a stack of sealed boxes and unopened outer cases of rolling stock! "Oh no we can't take them out of the box the value will drop if sunlight gets on them" I'm sure it's not like that and I hope the show goes well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Kind of three quarters right, it being wrong when it comes to taking them out and running them. Oh, and a lot of the models are so ancient that the boxes disintegrated years ago. At few other shows will you see models made in, say, 1910. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Would love to come to one of these events sometime but not this year. There's a lot going on that weekend elsewhere sadly. Is there another event later in the year a bit further North? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 There will one at Leicester, probably mid November, but I would need to check the exact date. It's a smaller event, but always very interesting. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Even if I have managed to misspoll "collectable"! Don't worry - the dictionary states it can be spelt either way. Regrettably Milton Keynes is a bit too far for me, otherwise I'd be there. Edited June 16, 2017 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Oh no we can't take them out of the box the value will drop if sunlight gets on them" I'm sure it's not like that and I hope the show goes well To quote the TCS chairman concluding an AGM sevetal yearsago, "let's go play trains". Stuffy they're not. Mint condition items probably won't be run, but there should be plenty of near mint items running, if their previous shows at Sandy are a guide.
