RMweb Premium DLT Posted July 28, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 28, 2018 I can't find a topic on here about Railwells 2018, in a couple of weeks time (unless I just can't see it) The Show's webpage is here: http://railwells.com/railway-show/railwells-show-2018/ and as ever it promises to be a cracking good show. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 28, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2018 I shall be there on the Sunday. Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted July 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 29, 2018 I'll be there Sunday and with luck part of Saturday as well. It's my favorite show of the year, in such a lovely location, the only downside being the need to patronise that dastardly George Warleggan's banking establishment. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted August 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hello Intending to drive up Sunday and suggestions for day parking near by?. Thx G. There's usually dedicated parking in the field adjoining the Cathedral and Bishops palace - sometimes free sometimes not depending on boot sales etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted August 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2018 On Sundays, it is possible to park on-street about 200 yds away to the north. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted August 2, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 2, 2018 The field carparking is signposted, but you really need to look out for it. Which direction are you coming from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted August 3, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 3, 2018 Just in case anyone doesn't already know, Railways will be a very rare (possibly once only) opportunity to see John Greenwood's entire North Cornwall system in 2mm finescale. Including Wadebridge, Boscarne, Bodmin North, the whole Wenford Bridge line, and currently under construction, Padstow.

RMweb Premium DLT Posted August 3, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 3, 2018 The you will probably come along the A371 from Shepton Mallet, https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2056399,-2.6457708,15.93z Turn right at the roundabout into Priory Road, right into Southover, and right again into Silver Street. Follow this road until it ends at the Bishops Palace Moat, the carpark is in the field on the right. Walk out of the carpark and go straight ahead with the moat on your right.At the far end, go through the arch on the left and you are in the main square/market place. The Town Hall (AKA Warleggan Bank) is on the left. If you are early, there's a very nice coffee shop by the arch. Cheers, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) This question comes up every year! This map may help, the parking spot is where the arrow is:- http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=355252&y=145599&z=115&sv=355252,145599&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=648&ax=355252&ay=145599&lm=0 I believe there's a parking charge of £3.00 on the Saturday because of a car boot sale.

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted August 3, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I am as always looking forward to this show as I shall be manning the South Western Circle stand Number 3 http://www.lswr.org/ all week positioned on the ground floor appropriately opposite John Greenwood's seven yes seven layouts combined of the North Cornwall Railway in 2mm finescale http://www.rmweb.co....nescale/page-12 as mentioned by Dave above, surely a unique chance to view such incredible modelling is worthy of a visit to the show alone.

SDJR7F88 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Looking forward to displaying "Amiens 1918 - Tracks & Trenches" over the weekend! Will it's first public display with DCC Sound too! Quick question though, where do we unload our cars too during set-up? (Don't want to get a ticket before the day starts) Callum 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted August 3, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 3, 2018 At the front door, in the Market Place/Square. Are you arriving Friday evening? Its awkward to unload on Saturday morning due to the market setting up, it can be done though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted August 3, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2018 Thanks for the info! That's good to know. I'll be setting-up Saturday morning, due to work Friday Evening. Surely Chris Challis (exhibition manager/organiser) should be answering this question, or should have already provided this kind of information?

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted August 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2018 Rather looking forward to this. Looks like there has been a change of heart and I will no longer be working on into the wee small hours on Sunday. I should, therefore, be a bit more awake at the show than anticipated.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted August 9, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 9, 2018 Looks like it shouldn't be too hot as the building can get stuffy on hot days. Might be there or not this year. Nope, definitely there in the same building as always. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted August 10, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2018 I really wish I could make it down to Wells this weekend to see John Greenwood's entire North Cornwall system in 2mm finescale.but having spent all last weekend at the SVR I don’t think swmbo would be impressed if I announced a visit to Wells It’s also probably a 300 mile round trip. I just have to hope John will exhibit it again in the future. Hope the exhibition goes well. Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stentor Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Brilliant show as ever with inspirational layouts, knowledgable demonstrators and traders with all those bits you just cannot find anywhere. So many great layouts but Mini MSW (of course), Clutton, Bodmin & Wadebridge, Navigation Road, Amiens, ...in fact they were all superb. Also the exhibition guide includes track plans of many of the layouts, how good is that? Thanks to all involved for all their efforts in making this the great show it is. //Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
