leavesontheline Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just back from this nice little show. Spacious venue and a good variety of layouts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AySea Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Unfortunately, the layout Coburg was not at the show and neither was Titfield Thunderbolt, however a display on Nailsea and Backwell Station in the 1930s including a OO gauge diorama that wasn't previously advertised as attending was there. Also, there was a slight error in the demonstration listings; Dave Barrett didn't have his display of 4mm scale model buildings as advertised, but this was because he was with his layout Nottingham Goods which was also advertised under the Layouts Attending heading. It all starts again tomorrow at 10:00am for those that couldn't make it today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted March 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2017 I also wandered along today and wa s very happy - pity there was no Titfield in attendance though - I was very taken with Lydgate which although it has been on the local circuit I had not seen before - very nicely done representation of the Forest.I've attached a selection of my photos...

leavesontheline Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I noticed a few differences to the advertised attendees (per the above list and the Nailsea MRC website) but it was a pleasant surprise to see John and Dave from B&DMRC with their wagons at the show!

Sorry I didn't say hello, but having only met you once at Weston, I wasn't sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So it was you! Sorry I didn't say hello, but having only met you once at Weston, I wasn't sure. No bother Andy, I thought I saw you but was difficult to see form behind the layout, I am not used to rear operated layouts these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted March 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2017 An good show in a very nice modern venue with good access for unloading and loading. We had a great weekend with Banbury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Miles Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I don't see the Nettlebridge Valley Railway in the above list but it was at the show and an excellent layout it is too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 An good show in a very nice modern venue with good access for unloading and loading. We had a great weekend with Banbury. Although as an 'oldie' I enjoyed watching Lydford and Folkestone Junc; I was surprised at my enthusiasm for Banbury. I think it was because I could easily relate to the modern era. I was rather disappointed when 3x5-car Voyagers passed through the station; when although that might be the fantasy on most routes, what actually turns up is one rammed 4-car unit. I was encouraged to see a young schoolgirl videoing the layout on Sunday morning. Hope for the future there maybe? [ I'm afraid that I wandered around the school venue in a daze, as because on my walk there (I only live 800yds away) I had a phone call to say my brother-in-law (the one with motor neurone disease) had passed away overnight. ] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They generally didn't stop at Banbury so you would have still had to catch a rammed 4 car unit! Sorry about your brother. Never an easy time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I found the complete detachment of model railways to be quite comforting in the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
