Indeed. But we had no trouble taking half-a-dozen N gauge modules by van to Stuttgart for the NCI meet. They were our possessions travelling with us - nothing commercial involved - though we did have a list and pictures of what was in the boxes, and a letter of invitation to the exhibition.

A long platform at the rear, plus the island. I thought that three full platforms would be too much visually for a single track station, so I choose a short parcels bay. And I've learnt a new swear word - "Code 40 fishplate". They're lovely but oh so fiddly!

Here's my N gauge version, 4' long and a sort of cross between Victoria Park, and PMP's Shelfie 3. The short track is long enough for a 2-car EMU, or some parcels stock. The longest platform will take 4 or 5 coaches. I've laid most of the track now (with British Finescale code 40) and next will be point motors and wiring. I'm looking forward to the scenery, all inner city, with the station on brick arches.

Perhaps it's in order to again thank both Hattons and Warley for their integrity and transparency in handling these major decisions. We can only wish them well, as both have made a significant contribution to our hobby.

Our Open Day as last year is at our regular meeting place, in Redhill. The hall is close to Earlswood station and bus routes, and an easy walk from Redhill station. It has level access and plenty of local on street parking. We will be running a modular layout (Including our new fiddle yard) as we do most club nights. We have a guest appearance from the original Konigshafen plus two other layouts. These will be supported by the club second hand sales. Refreshments (Including the famous cakes and real coffee) will be available. Exhibits will be: East Surrey N Gauge Modular Layout (18x10') Konigshafen - German Epoch IV Main Line (13x3') Leonard - 3rd Rail Network Southeast (8x2') Kuritu II - Japanese Trams (3x2') ESNG Club Shop Come and see us and have a coffee and chat! Our full club exhibition will be at the same location on 30 September.

37th Uckfield Model Railway Exhibition - 15th/16th October 2022
snitchthebudgie replied to adrianmc's topic in Exhibitions
Visited today, and once again a very good show. A good number of layouts that were new to me, no dross at all, and a wide range of prototypes and scales. For me, Uckfield is an essential visit - much better than many of the larger shows, as the standard of layouts and modelling is so much higher. I'm just surprised that there haven't been more positive comments on this thread. (And the Civic Centre cafe is excellent!) -
My copy arrived Monday. Great read. And I've already designed the railway-after-next to capture a favourite location that has defeated me in the past. (Think Pacific Electric.)

Invicta Model Railway Show, Kent. 6-7 August 2022

For East Sussex N Gauge, read East SURREY N Gauge! 😉 -
Not with a large van full of N gauge modules, and thousands of pounds worth of rolling stock.....

East Surrey N Gauge took modules to form part of the layout at the N Club International meet at Stuttgart for over 10 years. Then we left Europe (to say nothing of covid). Our assessment was that it was either too expensive or too complicated to take layouts to Germany now - but we'd be delighted to see a clarification of this, and some clear rules. Incidentally, the Swiss members of NCI had exactly the same problems taking layouts to Germany - endless lists of trains and a long, long time to get through customs both ways. I suspect it is now the same for us in the UK.
