37114 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Looks a good show as ever, sadly I can't make it this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TimC Posted October 15, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 15, 2012 Looking forward to the show - Hopefully, I'll be there on the Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted October 15, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2012 Oh damn... Guess I'd better try to find something to carve up that won't upset too many people... Looking forward to seeing some of the layouts that Mike has booked in this time round, a couple there that I've been itching to see. Andi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibble Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Always a friendly show, and nice to be able to do something for charity...... a worthy cause (CLIC) and a big thank you to Mike and band of helpers for putting in the hours and making the show a continuing success. Just for clarity - only 1 baseboard of Hornsey is being shown during the 2 days, more a kind of demo / preview exhibit. I was due to appear next year with a bigger section of the layout, but arrangements were brought forward to help fill a gap instead. The rest of the line-up looks to be of the usual high standard for this twice-a-year event, and looking forward to catching up with faces old and new.

MarkSG Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've got a busy weekend, but I'm still hoping to drop in if I can find the time. The Cheltenham show has always, in my experience, been an excellent example of how to do a small show well, so I'm reluctant to miss it unless I really have to.

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted October 27, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2012 Thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours this afternoon. Highlights for me were Penrhos & Cheltenham South, however all layouts were excellent and I came away with a Hornby class 60 chassis that didn't know I needed. Now to get a Lima body to fit!

Jules Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 My second visit to this venue, and again a cracking little show. Cheltenham South was the highlight for me, but they were all good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you seemed very happy when you got your bargain chassis. Saved me from buying it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be of service, steveb860, but I wouldn't have thought a class 60 would have been up your street. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmoordave Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 My mate & I really enjoyed our visit to Mike's show yesterday. It seemed busy for most of the day and the standard of the layouts was very high. Cheltenham South, Penrhos & Smallcombe being notable, but as Jules said, they were all good. The home-made rock cakes were also excellent...........!!!!! exmoordave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TimC Posted October 28, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 28, 2012 Excellent show - very high standard of exhibits. Good to catch up with some old friends too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Managed to get in a brief visit today and as usual, Mike managed to get an excellent selection of layouts, all good quality. Nice to see some familiar faces, while Thomas proved popular with the kids as ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 28, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2012 I spent most of the day there as I was helping on one of the layouts (the large noisy wet 0n30 one if you must know) I thought the layouts Mike had assembled were top notch and given the size of venue and number of layouts the whole show was of a very high standard indeed. Well worth the drive up from Bristol. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveb860 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Happy to be of service, steveb860, but I wouldn't have thought a class 60 would have been up your street. Ah, but Phil, I was merely assisting running kettles on Penrhos. 80's, early 90's is more my scene. Now how do I pursuade Dave to allow me and 37114 to restock his layout for a day?!!

Most of my stock is 1977 so didn't look to out of place! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
