That is true, but how will they value a micro layout to calculate any duty they intend to levy if I don't get one?
The carnet is likely to cost more than the layout.
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.

Inner city arches, just my cup of tea! Is there a platform at the rea, or just the island in the middle? Will enjoy following progress on your build.
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.

I very much regret the demise of the Warley show, I attended it for many years. I also regret that the organisers didn't make provision for their replacement years ago such that there was a constant evolution in the organisation staff. If you recruit one new person to the committee every year, then you are sorted. It's succession planning.
Sorry, but easier said than done. Especially when you're already planning two or three years ahead. You've got to have the people who want to step up.

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.

Visited this morning and it was worth the visit. Great to get a close look at Canada Street without the crowds and was charmed by Bunkers Lane.

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.

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.)

For East Sussex N Gauge, read East SURREY N Gauge! 😉

I'm surprised about that. When I've traveled to and from Switzerland from here (Germany) it was just a case of driving across the border, just like to any Schengen EU country.

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.

It's happening on Saturday! Final preparations well in hand. We've had a layout drop out, but Dan Hull has stepped in with his display of models AND prototypes of the Rapido Class 28 to see and run.
Hope to see you there. If possible, please save the church parking for the disabled/elderly and look for on-street parking. Or we're very close to Earlswood station, and an easy walk from Redhill or buses on the A23. -
After a two-year break, East Surrey N Gauge will hold their annual exhibition and Open Day on Saturday 9 April 2022, 1000-1600. It’s 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're easing ourselves back into the exhibition world with a small show, but it should be a friendly and fun day playing trains, and all NGF denizens will be especially welcome.
There will be 8 ‘N’ gauge layouts on display, including Alpenbahn, Bahnbetriebswerk Königshafen and a modular layout from East Surrey N Gauge. These will be supported by 2 specialist traders, secondhand sales and the N Gauge Forum stand.
Refreshments (including the famous cakes and real coffee) will be available.
Club website: www.esngclub.com
Details of the show are:
• East Surrey N Gauge Open Day
• Saturday 9 April 2022, 1000-1600
• Earlswood Baptist Church, St Johns Road, Redhill, RH1 6DZ
• Entry: Adults £3.00 Children £2.00 Family £8.00.

From my experience, problems with the current generation seem to be mainly from overenthusiasm. The real troublemakers are us oldies who ought to know better, but think they can do what they like - or just can't support their own body weight!
