Mike The exhibition is close to Llandaff Fields but the old Number 4 route Trolleybuses no longer run Instead http://www.cardiffbus.com/english/service.shtml?serviceid=1981 You might find a taxi quicker and not too expensive - it's only a couple of miles.

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted December 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2015 I plugged in Cogirep for the first time in a year or so, pleased that it all worked first time, didn't even need to clean the rails! Here's an old shot; hopefully I'll have some more varied stock available for the Cardiff show. If anyone fancies a go on it, please don't hesitate.

Rivercider Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yep, I am looking at this too for a possible visit, some old friends there plus some interesting looking layouts I have not seen yet. If I get there I will travel by train and walk up from Cardiff Central, stopping for a pint on the way up and back. There seem to be several pubs in the area, and a possible route up through Sophia Gardens, any suggestions? cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might get the train, then get a bus ( No 24 istr) up to the Halfway House on Catherdral Road. I can't comment on Cardiff pubs, as the last one I was in was The Plough, Whitchurch, when the WAG had a meeting there. They were a rough looking bunch then, and i suspect they look even meaner now!

naturol Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Two additional attractions will be the modern image terminus station modelled by Mr Graham Mann, with its tower crane and Sky scraper site. Plus Steve from Lord and Butler with his fascinating layout Hafod Broadway, featuring a staggering amount ( not just in cost value) of electronic wizardry, sound, lights, and lots of moving stuff. We have 12 layouts at this time, with the possibility of one, ( to be confirmed,) more layout attending Looking forward to seeing you all there.

RMweb Gold Tim Hall Posted January 11, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2016 Should be there at some point. Sounds a worthwhile thing to support as Cardiff didn't have its usual show last October due to the egg chasing World Cup. Regarding pubs, I haven't been in any in that part of town for a while, but the Mochyn Du and The Cayo Arms were always good for decent beer. The Beverley was not too bad. Haven't tried The Cricketers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried The Cricketers. "The Halfway" (S.A. Brain) is located on Cathedral Road, directly opposite Fields Park Road, which leads to the venue. . "The Conway" is located a short walk away and does some fine meals. . "The Maltsters' - "The Butcher's Arms" and "The Black Lion" are all located in Llandaff City less than a mile away from the venue, and, whilst in the opposite direction to the city centre, Llandaff is just off the Western Avenue one of Cardiff's main arterial routes. .

br2975 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 For those attending by road. . If approaching along the M4 motorway from Newport, leave at Jct.29 and take the A48(M) which become the A48. . Eventually, pass the University Hospital of Wales on your right, then go under the 'Gabalfa' Interchange. . Continua along the A48, passing Tesco Extra on your left, cross the River Taff then pass the Cardiff Metropolitan University and Llandaff RFC on your left before forking left into Mill Lane. . At the end of Mill Lane, turn left into Cardiff Road. . At the next crossroads turn left from Cardiff Road into Penhill Road (with Llandaff Fields on your left). . The road describes as sharp right hand bend (to become Cathedral Road - near 'The Halfway PH), at this point turn left into Fields Park Road . Continue along Fields Park Road and you will see the sports changing rooms and large car park. . The Scout HQ is located at the south end of the car park. . I hope the attached link works. . https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Cardiff+Scout+Group/@51.4907322,-3.2147334,15z/data=!4m5!1m2!2m1!1scardif+scout+group+HQ!3m1!1s0x486e1b5decf8c5eb:0x4d266074f0fa005b .
