RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted October 14, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2014 Looking forward to the show at the weekend.

RMweb Gold adrianmc Posted October 17, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2014 Just back from setting up the halls - just a couple of layouts and members of the trade to arrive. Just thought I would post a picture of one of the layouts that you can see over the weekend - Herstmonceux (00). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The show seemed very well attended today; we had a good crowd "out front" to entertain almost all day, with a light lull at lunchtime and quietening after 4.30. A good location was given to us in the green room with our back to the window affording a welcome breeze when the wind blew. Operations seemed to go well... oh, and we were kept well fed and coffee'd... thanks for that. Looking forward to another day on my feet tomorrow repeating operations with Terry and SimonJon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted October 18, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2014 Agree here that it's a very good show. The podiums the Uckfield club have set up in front of a number of the layouts have had plenty of use by the younger visitors. We had a few interesting comments saying that our layout was Japanese!! Some one else said that they never realised that the USA had railways. I suppose he had a point as they are railroads!!! Must get round to having a good look at the superb layouts on show tomorrow.

ColinW Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Looks like I might be a busy (but happy) little chap LOL you looked like you were having fun with the working gantry on Wenford this afternoon Kevin It was good to talk with you. Some very good layouts on display again. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinWalsh Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 In my defence John did say that the new filament cable on the gantry hadn't fully settled down yet. That gantry when it is running is an absolute joy, but boy is it difficult to get right first time out, clearly I need more practice in the dark arts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinWalsh Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It was another good show, managed to catch up with a couple of old faces (Colin W, Queensquare & Kim and Jon020), met some new faces (Roundhouse and Mrs Roundhouse) and had fun with a couple of very tasty layouts (Tucking Mill and Wendfordbridge Goods Depot). I must express my deepest thanks to Jerry Clifford and John Greenwood for letting me loose with their pride and joys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinWalsh Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yes Adrian, I thought I'd managed to avoid your camera all weekend. Unfortunately the overhead shot of the main hall caught me in the corner and highlighted the severe thinning on top that is taking place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
