In which case, leave them alone, don't touch anything - and report them to Derek! Sorry, but I'm not opening any links that I don't really know what they are.

You can look at the address without opening up - it's just a link to another thread on here, an item was stolen from last year's show. I hope it doesn't put anyone off going this year, it's always one worth a visit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he can overcome that at S4UM by having a go on Enigma Engineering Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last few years there have bee a number of thefts of locomotives from this show and Manchester, I suspect it's the same thief but nobody has spotted anything yet.

Just to clarify. In the 27 Years I have been involved in the organisation of expoEM (North) this is the FIRST time that theft has been reported. What Might have happened at other shows in the Manchester area I am not aware of. The only other theft at expoEM North that I know of was at Wakefield in the 1980s.

Paul No you are not under suspicion, although now you mention it I am advised by the Sports Village manager there are no other significant events booked for the weekend.So parking should not be a problem.

RMweb Premium wagonbasher Posted August 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2017 Tackeroo was put through its paces last night in a Staffordshire village hall. As the Staffordshire finescale group don't have a clubroom and all of the members build layouts that are bigger than their homes putting a layout up is always an issue. I have been working through small electrical and PW issues and last night things moved and turnouts worked. A small snagging list has been created but I am move comfortable than I have been. Looking forward to the show. Message to traders and exhibitors... talk us through your run up to the show on this thread, keep it live, keep it current, good or bad keep it at the top of the 'new contents' lets get some folk through though the door!!!

DerekEm8 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 A small alteration regarding the FREE vintage bus. It may not be a RED London Routmaster but it could be a RED Manchester Leyland. The intended service will be (due to the distance involved) an HOURLY service from/to Urmston Station, via Chapel Lane to the Sports Village. This unfortunately on the Saturday will only be able to meet alternate trains - but every train on the Sunday. So if coming by train book through to Urmston and have a FREE Vintage bus ride.

davefrk Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Lanarkshire Models & Supplies have taken delivery of a card reader for use at exhibitions so, hopefully we will be able to take credit cards at EXPO. This reader needs to have the card holder present and is not for taking cards remotely ie, over the phone. Our website does that for us. See you all at Manchester.

On screen sub-titles are available these days. You may find they are of assistance. I know they are, I live in Yorkshire............. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
