Selkent Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Just finished hand building a Dover train ferry out of wood for the new exhibition layout set around Dover harbour in the 1960's. The white cliffs in the back ground took ages. Should be all finished with replica station and Lord Warden Hotel next week ready for its first model railway exhibition at Sevenoaks on 8th July. Just need to connect all the boards together and add the buildings, all scratch built. Need to work out why my Bachmann EMU goes full pelt one way but half speed in reverse, any suggestions Edited May 10, 2018 by Selkent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkent Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 We unfortunatly have lost ADAPTUS which was a 24ft Steam punk layout which was to debut at this show and made by the excellent layout builder Steve Rogers who came to our group night drinkies last week with an acceptable excuse that he had clipped a nail while painting his fingers and now is all bandaged up, so can't finish it in time. However it will be ready for our Bexleyheath show in Dec. Instead he is bringing the grand 24ft 0 gauge American monster with help from Southwark MRC who will carry it in for him and set it up. We have taken photographic evidence of the finger in question to prove he isn't pulling a fast one and just wants the other members of his team to do all the work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkent Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Raffle winners are N Marsden, (Magaizine subscription) Polly Gibbons (2 flying Eye tickets) and Edward Sorrell (weathering kit) If Edward Sorrell or anyone who may know him reads these forums, can they get in touch as contact details hard to read. Our best in show (based on votes from a family with no direct connection with model railways and two actual railway modellers and one guest judge from The London Transport Museum) surprisingly went to a trader and not a layout, Harrison Brown (trader) beat Cato Pass (layout) into second place. Votes based on overall experience at the stand/layout, including being able to answer one simple and one techical question, friendiness of those manning trade stand/layout and overall presentation of the stand /layout and interest to the actual voting teams. Although I knew the judges, I asked them to comment also on areas, we were responsible for and from it will make some changes to next year and also keep some aspects which they liked. Thanks to all those who attended and thank you to Southwark MRC for manning and running Dover Train Ferry during the day for me. It was a hot day and I spoke with the school today to ask next year can air con defo be on, to find out it was on, but made no differance. Nice to see a high number of railway modellers attend so had a more equal mix of modellers and families. 624 through the door and a few layouts got some invites to other shows including Dover Ferry for Tenterden next Feb. Thank you also Worthing MRC for stepping in last minute with a replacement layout. Edited July 9, 2018 by Selkent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
