John_Miles Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Looks like a good line up. The East Dorset Gang of Four were getting on last time I saw Flintcombe so they must be truly ancient by now - good layout, in fact the whole line up looks good. What about traders?

(Son-in-law's 'stag do' in Nottingham - and as the crinkly, I had grandfather rights on my licence which allowed me to drive the minibus !). .

John_Miles Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I sometimes think the definition of a model railway exhibition is an event attended by Jerry Clifford (and of course Kim), the Rolleys and Bernie Baker. Bernie always turns up at Cardiff so this show seems to tick all the boxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penlan Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Getting all excited as its only 5 days to go, and the floor plan has (nearly) been finalised More important, where's the curry to be had, and of course decent beer, even exceptional beer?

Abergwaun Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 I do believe that the Professor is making arrangements for you to devour a tasty curry at the normal curry house on Cowbridge Common. Good beer is available all over Kaardiff as you know. Sadly we will not be able to provide a barrel at the show like we sampled at Aldershot last weekend. There may just be some welsh Cakes available however Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Miles Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 As suggested above, the Mughal Emperor awaits, possibly the only curry house in South Wales where you can look out of the window and see cows (sheep would be too exciting). There is also Friday's beer to be sorted out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturol Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 This little beaut. Will be in attendance. Together with my layout. Plus free Evostik tin to the first 10 punters who amuse me. Who said train shows were dull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
