Coldgunner Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 with the greatest of respect to you all on here, I shall have a female companion to keep entertained (and buy dinner for afterwards, even though she was the one asking to come to the show) so I shall opt out of any Rmweb meet up I'm looking forward to the Heljan announcements in particular, want to see if 009 is getting any more traction, so to speak. She's there to monitor expenditure! Its a trap, ABORT, ABORT! At least that's what my SWMBO does! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted November 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just incase no one knows... Somethings to look forward to at Warley:- - Heljan as per a post on facebook they'll have something announced/surprise at Warley. - Accurascale has something to announce - There'll be something interesting on the T-Gauge.com stand (if it makes it in time) - Rapido apparently have something - KMRC are also getting something. - Hatton's have already announced theirs - Rails of Sheffield have already announced theirs as well. Subscribers to the BRM Express Newsletter were advised a few days ago of another OO loco announcement from a new manufacturer - I won't give the game away but I'm surprised that it doesn't seem to have been mentioned anywhere yet. Their website only has a single page with a photo of the loco - no other details given. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted November 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2018 Link to the website please? No. It was listed as a Warley announcement but may have been sent out too soon. I will leave it until Saturday unless Andy or Phil want to add anything from BRM. I have recently caused upset in another topic and was over ruled and so don't want to antagonise another trader who might be a potential advertiser. .

fezza Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I couldn't help noticing that a certain rival 'national' event at Peterborough is being pushed very hard this year through email and social media. Is there a story behind this? Good luck to both but the Peterborough timing isn't great as all of my spare cash will be spent at Warley, two weeks before! It always seems odd to me that major events seem to cluster at particular times of the year, while the summer and early autumn is usually very quiet.

Paul.Uni Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Is it the crowdfunded GT3 that people are referring to?

Chris M Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The timing of exhibitions is to some degree dictated by the venue. The Warley show when it was at the Harry Mitchell Centre was always the first full weekend in October. This was a good time as it was just at the start of what I see as the modelling season - when it starts to go cold and dark so playing outside is not so much fun. The move to the NEC caused a change and since then subsequent changes have occurred due to whatever else might be happening at the NEC. As you would expect, something like a whole week long booking for four halls will always get priority over a weekend booking for one hall. The current timing of the Warley show is good for me as it gives me plenty to keep me busy as the nights get darker and it brings us close to Christmas without thinking about it. I think there are more summer events now than ever before, possibly due to the risks of bad weather in the winter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 88C Posted November 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2018 The Elizabethan Railway Society will be taking our Sutton-in Ashfield Town layout which is a model of what would have been the nearest station to our club rooms had it not closed in1956. You will find us on stand E18A, as far back in the hall as you can go. Trains running are in BR period and are as far as possible based on photos that we have. As suggested by ChrisF I will wear a RMWeb badge. Brian 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid I always asked why he never saved it, he gave me various stories of other locos he worked around trying to save but always said GT3 was a wreck, he did say however before he authorised the scrappers to start, he sent out a message to Buckley Wells and Salford Railway Enthusiasts to have an “unscheduled” open day at the yard one Saturday so everyone could see it, and later gave away the EE and Builders plates that were both still attached when it arrived. He also noted, it was the only locomotive he knew that was fitted with a carpet and curtains in the cab.
