Tryfan Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Nick the first photograph looks like your layout Ashbourne Midland. Will it be appearing as I don't see it on the list? David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Sounds like a great show. I love building, operating and watching small layouts. Date in the diary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Nick the first photograph looks like your layout Ashbourne Midland. Will it be appearing as I don't see it on the list? David Yes it is my Ashbourne layout, but, no, it won't be at the show as I have sold it! All the layouts in the photo are mine, some, like Ashbourne, moved on to new pastures. It's unlikely my layouts will feature as anybody who has tried to manage a show and run a layout will know, it is nigh on impossible! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Here's a photo of my small O Scale layout, Lyddlow Goods, taken by Nick at the Cradley Heath Show back around October. I had quite a few comments from viewers then along the lines of "Far too simple & boring for me", which I countered (very politely ) by explaining what the real ideas behind it were - to show that O Scale doesn't have to take up lots of space, to provide a small layout to while away half-an-hour or so of gentle shunting in a large scale, and also the fact that there is so much more to the hobby than just running trains; wasting time on RMweb erm, I mean research, kitbuilding, painting, weathering, opening R-T-R boxes, etc etc... Edit: the photo was taken in the "silly half hour" at the end of the Show, which is why it was chock-a-block with wagons!!

Having run a show and exhibited each time I can only agree. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dava Posted May 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 31, 2018 As these are all standard gauge layouts [nothing wrong with that!] if you fancy seeing a fine selection of small narrow gauge layouts the same day, the 7mm Narrow Gauge Association show is in Burton Town Hall about 20 minutes away. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/134212-7mmnga-agm-exhibition-9th-june-2018/?hl=burton 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, as Dava says, no reason why both can't be incorporated on the same day - it's only 30 minutes between the two. However, if it's a toss up between the two, then come to this (it is my thread after all!) :yes: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be playing with.......testing Sheep Lane this weekend and attending to a couple of minor jobs but otherwise ready to go. Be nice to see the other layouts, in particular Industrivej and Kozel Cement two favourites of mine. Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
