Blowers Green, looking from over Dudley Tunnel. 37029 on short steel service. Blowers Green, station end.

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted June 14, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) Always a good show, I was there with Canute Road Quay last year and this year will be manning the South Western Circle stand that will be making its first appearance at the show. http://www.lswr.org/ Edited June 14, 2018 by Graham_Muz 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Dusting off Westwood Yard for its next outing at the Exeter Show. This show is always worth a visit and I am looking forward to seeing it from the operator side this year. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris M Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 There is quite a lot of “local” interest with Kingswear, Hemyock and Exemouth on display. My contribution is Little Aller Junction which I call a caricature of the real Aller Junction. Probably going to run 1963 one day and 1968 the other. My new Revolution tank wagons are have been toned down a bit ready for the show Sometimes we add sound, but not all the time. And sometimes (usually when youngsters are watching) we just let em roll.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted June 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Looking forward to this, just a heads up that the Let's Rock Exeter festival is happening Saturday so there may well be more traffic around the area that day...!

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted June 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) What's the venue for the festival, please. It's Powderham Castle, so traffic will be heading along the A379 towards Dawlish. Might be slow around Matford / Marsh Barton. Shown as starting 11.00am so I imagine people will be arriving before to grab a good spot Edited June 27, 2018 by Ramblin Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2018 I had a very good day here. 5 hours says it all! A very decent venue, with oodles of space and excellent catering, and a chance to chat with several RMwebbers. £7 was an entirely reasonable fee for so much entertainment, too. I always hesitate to pick out a layout, because as at most shows there were many worthy of merit, but Exmouth seemed to have it by a short head for me. Andeer intrigued me, with DCC operation being shown at its very best, and a particularly friendly crew who offered me driver’s rights. I also enjoyed Jillsburgh for the same DCC reason, and Dragon’s Den for packing a lot of fun operation into a compact and scenic area. I bought a few things, including a book by George Reeve which I then got him to sign, and Graham Muz had no great difficulty in getting me to take a membership form for the South Western Circle. A most friendly and well organised show, thankyou Exe MRS. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted June 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) I had a good wander round with Nathan in tow. As usual, the things I wanted to look at didn't always keep N's attention but he enjoyed the 2 shunting puzzles and worked things out fairly well. I did like Hemyock, Blowers Green and Exmouth. My contribution is Little Aller Junction which I call a caricature of the real Aller Junction. Probably going to run 1963 one day and 1968 the oter.We both enjoyed Little Aller Junction, particularly when trains were synchronised with full train sound effects (not on board but recording of actual trains). Thanks to the owner for letting N operate some sound effects and trains, I think it was the highlight of the day for him!

RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted June 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2018 It was great to see Little Aller Junction and Hemyock but I think my unexpected favourite was Kingswear - arguably the most fully realised model. The other thing that really caught my eye was the steam railmotor on the Exe MRS layout ("Isca Road", I think). Lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I also had a good trip to Exeter. I have seen Blowers Green before but really enjoyed the selection of wagonry on show. I also particularly liked Kingswear, Exmouth and Little Aller Junction, they all capture the spirit of places I know, cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted June 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2018 Kingswear really is excellent but I feel slightly robbed of a good view due to the signalling desk occupying prime location in front of the station! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted July 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Always an enjoyable and sociable event for us in these parts. Spent a lot of time catching up with old pals, acquaintances and some of the usual suspects. A few phone snaps. These were my two favourites. Hemyock, delightfully portrayed. Kingswear, the lovely 'railway in a landscape' in 2mm FS which has lasted well as a testament to Mervyn Seal its builder and it's my home village. A nice touch for me was that the old family home is portrayed on the backscene! Approaching Britannia Halt. It's a shame that it was removed by the T & D some years ago now.

RMweb Premium DLT Posted July 2, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2018 Agreed, another great Exeter Show. I was helping on the Exeter Gauge 0 Group stand, which seems to get bigger every year. We started off with one table several years ago, I think we had six this time! Cheers, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted July 2, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2018 Another, good show from the Exeter boys. There was some great modelling on show, the presentation and ambience of Stanhope Brewery was inspirational even though there appeared to be some operational problems. Kingswear is a great layout, that's let down a bit by old Farish rolling stock, that's well past its sell by date. Hemyock is another very nice layout. Top Tor was a little bit different from the norm, in being a layout covered in snow and N gauge as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Tor was a little bit different from the norm, in being a layout covered in snow and N gauge as well. Strangely this little diorama did catch my eye and having spoken with the exhibitor ( operating with his son ) as a first attempt I thought it gave a good impression of a bleak winters day on Dartmoor. As he told me, it was a first attempt and gave him great satisfaction with "play" value in his downtime with the ability to just watch his stock run. Modellers like this chap need positive feedback and encouragement in my view and was happy to make that known to him. Oh ! And he likes Panniers too !!! I also enjoyed my chat with Steve operating Stanhope Brewery which I agree is quite inspirational coupled with excellent modelling, there are some nice layouts coming out of the Plymouth Club and I'm surprised they don't appear at more exhibitions. All in all another good show well done to EXEMRS once again. G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
