RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted April 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2019 York has to be one of the best large shows in the Country; superbly organised, great venue and wonderful variety of layouts and traders, along with thoughtfully chosen 'presenters'/demonstrators. Truth be told I only go for the lovely catering, (even if it is a bit pricy) and an excuse to visit York Station for the umpteenth time. Today was enhanced by the most wonderful weather allowing me to pedestrianise outside 'in shirtsleeves'. Sorry everyone, I don't take pics at shows these days. Thanks to all. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only have 3 hours on site at most so I shall not bother anyone with any weird questions and will probably only purchase books. Looks like the weather will again be kind to pedestrians (walk to from bus stop unless I CBA to get the 197 or whatever it is?). I am looking forward to meeting a good pal during his lunch break and seeing some target layouts. If anyone recognises me then bad luck, however have good day and thanks for what looks like a good show. Last time I came was with the late Geoff Brewin when I helped on his Comet Models Stand so I shall be having a little quiet contemplation to remember that and his friendship too. Phil I was there on Sunday and met Tim, so we had some contemplations of Geoff too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted April 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Should have mentioned how impressed I was with the 'new' EMGS Track and points from Peco (the latter not quite the finished product yet). For anyone wanting a little more authenticity gauge wise on maybe a smaller layout and without the skill or want to build their own points, these are going to be a great resource. The detail is superb. As EMGS membership is so inexpensive I would suggest that taking membership is worth it so as to access these products. I am in no way linked to the EMGS's Committee etc, except by simple membership. Phil Edited April 23, 2019 by Mallard60022 Didn't remeber that it is actually the EMGS. Thanks Worsedoll. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Had an enjoyable day on Monday. Met up with a few people I know and spent way too much time looking at the American On30 logging layout (again as seen a few times before) and the steel works in O from Kinross. Both seen a few times and enjoy each time I have seen them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then 9 month old baby had a meltdown on the way to the venue so had to abandon it and head home! So near yet so far, at least the weather was nice and we managed a visit to the NRM! E_R You abandoned the baby! Is that you Dave Cameron? Jason 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Rail Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 A good organised show in a good venue in a great city. Plenty of Steam interest if you want - I prefer the DEMU - but always a good day out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERS Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 A salute to the organising team who gave us another fantastic event. Spent the full day at the show Saturday and still don’t think I saw it all. Whilst the dynamic of the show changes year on year, fewer small traders now than 10-20 years ago for instance, it never fails to have a really unique atmosphere about it and the venue itself is full of character making it perhaps the most prominent stalwart of the traditional, independent show. looking forward to next year, when’s the ticket sales open? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold john new Posted April 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Earlier today I looked up the Internet Wayback Archive copy of our first generation website - scarily it is now 21 years since we launched it in 1998 for the build up to the 1999 Show. It looks so dated now but was state of the art publicity back then. Equally scary is realising the first show attendance I know I was definitely at was Easter 1973 when I'd then moved back to York (possibly also at an earlier one too) and in some capacity or other have almost certainly been to every one of the subsequent shows!

peterl Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Just for info the attendance at the 2019 Show was on a par with the previous year, despite the very warm weather and solid traffic on the A64. As Martin pointed out earlier the next York Show will be held on the 11th, 12th and 13th of April 2020. So make a note in you diary or smart(ish) phone. or what ever. Details will be posted on the website in due course. Peter 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted May 14, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2019 I am getting sporadic emails from our site-monitoring software saying the site is down for periods of a few minutes at a time. I think it was/is when the Wordpress software auto-updates for new releases. Reason for post - just to apologise if you have hit one of these short-term outage periods.
