North Eastern Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Welcome to Railex North East 2018 organised by the Blyth & Tyne Model Railway Society.This is our 50th show we have organised and the 2nd at the John Spence Community High School. The Exhibition will be held on the 28th & 29th July 2018, between the following times -10am to 5pm Saturday & 10am to 4pm Sunday.Celebrating 50 years of the Blyth & Tyne MRS this years exhibition will have a 'North Eastern' theme to it, from Pre-Grouping to Present Day.Exhibition Manager Lee Davies is assembling a superb collection of Layouts, Demonstrations & Trade Support, and as regular visitors to the exhibition will be aware, we have continuously been trying to improve the quality of the layouts which are on display each year. It is therefore pleasing to hear the comments from visitors’ that it is something we have been accomplishing. Hopefully we have achieved the same standard or improved again this year.This year the Exhibition will be officially opened by David Bavaird, Chairman of North Shields Chamber of Trade. We will have up to 30 layouts, representing layouts with a British theme and layouts from around the world ranging from N to O Gauge. We hope they will cover an area that is of particular interest to you or show you something out of the ordinary that will inspire you in your latest modelling project.We also have 14 Demonstrations, covering most aspects of modelling and displays. Also this year we have numerous layouts and demonstrations showingthe latest technology in Model Railways – Digital Command Control (DCC). Please take your time to visit all parts of the Exhibition, and ask the exhibitors as many questions as you like. We also have a fine array of Local and National Trade support this year, supplying the railway modeller with just about everything they need, so please give them your support.We will also have a modelling area for all children sponsored by Smart Models. All children will be able to construct a free card building and be able to take it home with them. We respectfully ask all parents to assist in the supervision of their children during this task.This year we have our usual Tombola. This way you get your prizes straight away. There are many fine prizes this year including Loco’s donated by Hornby and Dapol. So please stop by admire the prizes and buy a ticket or two.

North Eastern Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 What's parking going to be like this year? IIRC last year was difficult The contractors have finished at the school so the top car park is now free of their equipment giving more spaces. As ever there is also spaces at Morrison's across the road. Regards Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Max Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Am I correct in thinking that Dave Alexander Models usually attends this show. I see he is not in the traders Iist this year which is a shame as I was hoping to pick up an Lner K4 loco kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Norm Not able to do that, it would be a Free for all. We could look at a 2 day ticket for future years but don't really think it would be popular Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2018 Not been to this show before but planning to come on Saturday. ‘Tis 45 years since I was last at Tynemouth swimming pool, I suspect things have changed a bit (more building, less grass). Looking forward to it. Paul. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axlebox Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) South Pelaw, Fencehouses and Blackgill all under the same roof...thats brewing up to be quite a show...and whilst on th subject of brewing...you'll feel quite at home on North Tyneside teacupteacup as many Glaswegians came down for their summer holidays to Whitley Bay, Cullercoats and Tynemouth, there was even a through train at one time...and whilst still on the subject of brewing...if you stay till closing time then why not hop on the metro to Monkseaton station and the Left Luggage Room...for some rather nice ales...its well worth the trip and...the interior is still painted in BR (NE Region) colours.
