valleymodeller Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Not wishing to be pedantic Brian, but just helpful in that Graham Mann's new layout now has the name 'Wokinghurst' and Brian Tucker's latest Canadian venture is now titled "Burrard Inlet". Both are our show in April too. I think Graham's original title was Effing Hill, but I suggested a change! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philou Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hi Philou here, Can I give an unashamed plug for my brother? He's Peter, the Lord bit of Lord and Butler. If some of you going to the show could say 'hello' to him on my behalf - be a surprise for him . I can't go as I am about 600 miles away. Cheers and enjoy the day, Philip 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philou Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) @valleymodeller Even being his brother and trying to resist as much as possible, I think his till has some hypnotic effect on my wallet whenever I get to go there . Seems to work over the 'phone too . @nhy581 I've was lucky enough to be in Cardiff once the same weekend as the show - quite well done for what was a 'small show'! I think he enjoys being part of it too. Have a good day all! Philip Edited January 15, 2018 by Philou Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the shop also, but Peter and Adrian won't dine out on the paltry sum I spent on second copy of " Visions of steam" by Cavalier & Silcock. A must for all lovers of the NCB in South Wales. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted January 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2018 Dropping a friend at Cardiff General around 9.15 so hope to be at the Scout Hut relatively close to start of play.

RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted January 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2018 I enjoyed the show in 2016, and having had to miss last year hope to get over tomorrow, is there an RMweb code word to use on arrival, or just the funny handshake?

The codeword will be "Broadsword calling Danny Boy, Broadsword calling Danny Boy" The response will be "Hello Night Hawk" For those unable to grasp such complexities, I will be the handsome chap in the black pullover displaying the name of my favourite, local football team ! . Stop me for a chat I take it that will be Swansea, then (other teams are, of course, available - although I must admit that I've never been the most dedicated follower of soccer, as I generally prefer my "football" to a different code with a different shaped ball). Alternatively, for those of us who can't be bothered with jumping through hoops and all the other malarkey mentioned in the posts above, there's always a much simpler approach, as mentioned in a thread about "Ally Pally" 2014: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/82873-the-london-festival-of-railway-modelling-2014-march-2223/page-4&do=findComment&comment=1388199 Whether I'd bother with badges is another matter completely - although, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, my appearance is so distinctive that anyone who so wishes would probably have little difficulty in recognising me. This assumes, of course, that I can actually pull myself away from the snooker to get there. Huw. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robf Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Fantastic show this year, great layouts, demonstrations and very friendly. Much better than the "Big" Cardiff show later in the year (unless you're a fan of GWR steam of course). Only 1 negative point, you could do with a bigger venue next year as it did get rather claustrophobic, but despite that, as I said, a fantastic show and well done to all those involved. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2018 A quick note. Thanks to all who travelled to the show today. Humbled by the kind comments about Mutton which behaved itself with only a couple of minor gliches. It did seem a lot busier than last year. Very enjoyable. Home, unloaded and now with beer. Tidy.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2018 This is what I intend to wear to exhibitions where there could be a RMW presence. I CBA to wear a badge as those are a silly idea. I wasn't at Cardiff today sadly but I do hope Mutton could get invited to something over this way. Free B & B at Duck Towers to save money if that is a plus point to the show organisers? Phart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I do not think that wearing a name badge is a silly idea at all. I wear one just in case anyone wants to know who I am. I seem to recall that Mr Mallard was wearing one on the day we met. Sorry about that, folks. I made the trek to Cardiff today and enjoyed the show. It was good to meet so many RMwebbers, some for the first time. I was very taken by Mutton, so tonight's homework is to read the thread. I am also pleased to relate that I made it home without hitting a deer or anything else, unlike last year. Well done to the Rolley brothers for another cracking show!

br2975 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) May I just thank all those who exhibited, demonstrated and visited (especially the numerous RMwebbers who travelled from far and wide), and also those who fed & watered all present for contributing to an excellent day. . The quality of modelling on show was first class, and the atmosphere extremely friendly and helpful. . Here are just a few images of the day. .

Wayne 37901 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi Brian, Thanks for posting up some pictures, it does indeed look a busy day with a lot of visitors and I hope your daughter managed to keep everyone in line! I see the great Mr Masterman made a video which I've just seen and it can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeTbAXSEuZk. Apologies once again that myself and Tunnock Yard weren't able to make it, but having had a really bad flu for the last three weeks stopped me from getting things ready to show at least in WIP form. Still I hope everyone had a great day! Cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted January 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) It certainly was a great day - so glad we made the trip down, don't think I have ever been to such a friendly show before. Great to see so many RMWebbers, including old friends and new ones too And some super layouts! Has to be in the diary for future visits.... Thanks to all for the effort involve in making it so good - hope it was successful in other ways too!

Philou Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Hi Philou here, Well! It looks as if I missed a cracking 'small' show. Saw the video - thank you Mr Masterman for sharing - at least I and probably many others have had a taster of what it was like. If it's on again next year, I'll certainly try to get there.

Bungus the Fogeyman Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Well, we're both back home and tucked up in bed now.....don't be rude at the back.......after a splendid day at Cardiff! Great show, great atmos, looked after royally and to cap it all had a very enjoyable little chat (for me anyway!) with the legend that is Hywel Thomas of Morfa Bank Sidings fame! The train set behaved reasonably well and we had a few nice comments and interesting discussions with people. In fact the only disappointment was the fact Messrs Crowley and Smith couldnt attend for whatever reasons. I was looking forward to seeing their efforts. Having said that, there was still plenty to enjoy! Disgusting of Market Harborough 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
