Wayne 37901 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Wayne, Don't forget to apply the nice thick coat of black anti-vandal paint just before you leave the house....... Haha! It's funny you should say that as I've been contemplating revamping the fascia for a while, but I'm undecided on whether to keep the black or brighten it up a bit with a blue one. Blue would certainly be in-keeping with the clay theme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

valleymodeller Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Less than 24 hours to opening of our Show, and the responses so far has been good, and I am expecting a good turn out. Most layouts will be setting up tonight, with 3 to come early tomorrow morning plus the two traders, Lord & Butler and MIB Models. We have 13 layouts including Forest Green Parkway which was in Spring BRM and Rosamund Street which was in April's Model Rail, plus a further 11 layouts and just £3 entry. So if you are local or just in the area pop in and say hello. Rosamund Street.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleymodeller Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Pretty much all set up for tomorrow. But sadly one layout has had to withdraw due to van failure. Still it will be 12 layouts and 3 traders for £3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Well the car has been unloaded and the post show curry has just been ordered... Thanks to Tony (ValleyModeller) for the invite, it's a show I haven't been to for quite some time but I enjoyed myself. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat and watch the comings and goings of a small China Clay works in rural Cornwall. Too many names to mention but it was great to catch up with so many people and meet some new ones, if I didn't get chance to stop and chat to anyone my sincere apologies - Highlight for me was getting to meet Bob Masterman, what a cracking bloke! I managed to grab some quick snap shots and I'll post those later. Cheers, Wayne - Works Manager Trevanna ECC Group (Clay Drying Division) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 In wind down mode today after yesterday. No major problems with the layout, just a broken rail to fix within the first hour of the show.I popped along to the lineside hoping to catch 37196 on the local clay trip but the booked loco was 37670 again, still looking quite clean after release from conversion - already underlined that one in the book. As promised some quickly grabbed shots of some other exhibits. St Kevince 3rd rail layout - didn't get the name sorry. The excellent Moose Creek by Brian Tucker - a cracking layout. Forest Gate Parkway. And finally Rosamund Street by Brian Rolley - thanks for letting me have a play, my second time driving this layout. Sorry if I missed any, but I had to get back to my own. Once again a nice little show to be at, I would happily exhibit there again. And of course no exhibition is complete without a nice curry.

I too had a curry when I got home, it looks remarkably like that one!! Tony We had a great day at our show. Attendance was ever so slightly up on last year and the Club has benefited from some much needed income, income that keeps afloat our small club. I would like to thank all the exhibitors and traders, and visitors for their help and being involved in such a good day. Tony 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hi Tony, No problems on using the photos if they're credited. I thoroughly enjoyed exhibiting at your little show so do keep me in mind for next time. Haha! Having a curry after a show is a tradition I have, and I'm sure there are many who do likewise.
