RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted May 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2017 Ooh,goodie Merryfield Lane, I have not seen it for a while and I believe that some work has been done to improve the operating potential. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmoordave Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 I think you may be right. It hasn't been out for a while and it's been on our list for some time. As our show is slightly larger this year, we've been able to fit in two large roundy-roundies as well as a wide selection of other sizes and shapes. Variety is the spice of life and all that!!! exmoordave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmoordave Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Morning all! I wanted to report that sadly we have had a cancellation, due to health issues. The layout is "Merryfield Lane", but good news!!! It will be attending next year's EXMOOR RAIL instead!! The replacement will be a large 2mm finescale layout called "Welton Down", complete with handbuilt trackwork and an amazing vertical fiddleyard!! Best to all & hope to see some of you there on Saturday 5th August!!! exmoordave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exmoordave Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Sorry to report that we have had another layout cancellation due to health reasons, and of course we wish the person concerned a full and speedy recovery. The layout concerned is "Bodmin General" (N). However we have been very lucky and we have a brand new layout (also N gauge), called "Invernevis" stepping in. This will be the very first time it will have been seen in public, so we are very lucky to have secured this excellent substitution. It is based on the old station at Fort William and imagines that the station survives into the 1980s. One of the features of the layout is the scratch-built model of the iconic castellated station building. Best to all exmoordave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmoordave Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Morning each!! Just wanted to add a couple of stands - this time demonstrations. Firstly, "The Weathermen" will be attending (nothing to do with the meteorological office!), who will be demonstrating ways of weathering stock. Second, our friends Paul & John will be demonstrating detailing of mainly modern image stock, which includes diesels, coaches, plus wagon building, figure painting & building construction. Thirdly Online Models will be showing their new range of 'Plug & Play' colour light signals (which can also be bought at the show from Railroom Electronics. In addition the Great Western Society will also be there to talk about their latest projects. Best to all & hope to see some of you there. Remember, we're next door to Minehead station! exmoordave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
