enginelane Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) One day closer. A reminder that we are not able to put up road signs this year but there is a map on the website at www.wakefieldrms.org Edited November 15, 2017 by enginelane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Ever closer and a few last minute hitches that make it being more fun as an exhibition manager. Bottom line it’s a hobby and an opportunity to show what can be achieved by skilled modellers and traders prepared to run businesses to provide the bits and bobs we need. Busy evening getting everything ready for the venue and then it’s doors open Friday 17 th 5.30 to 9 pm! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyday is a schoolday - but I'm shore I was teached it were spelled. Don't you just LOVE the English language. "Although it is cold,I am going to go through Slough to get enough lead to lead me to mend the roof but I fear I have only one pear for my lunch." etc, etc, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Crisp November morning but little sign of rain. Looking forward to welcoming visitors to the show today. Opening times 10 to 5.30. Why not combine with a walk around the green heart of Wakefield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
88D Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Spelled is the American version and spelt is the English version, although spelled is becoming more popular. In Britain, you can use either; but States use spelled. Moi, I prefer that as well, but not because of a prediliction for all things American Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Glitches of a locked car park, sorted, and a wonky electrical sub station in the area affecting the lighting circuits all minor in comparison to an excellent day at the show. So pleased with the positive comments about the show and looking forward to the final day Sunday 10 4.30 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb900f Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'm not normally drawn to N gauge layouts but I thought that Melton Mowbray North was a cracker. The O gauge layout Aber Emlyn was another. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I think that the O gauge shunting plank as a work in progress had some interesting industrial shunters and I can see this becoming a gem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leander Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 An excellent day out was had today and then a late lunch at the 'Gas-Lit Pub' in Heath. There was a very interesting selection of generally very high quality layouts backed up by a good representation of the trade plus demos and Society stands. I liked the way layouts were grouped by scale and gauge. And I spent far too long yattering to a lot of old mates. Thanks WRMS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
