If only he would go to exhibitions outside Wales, he would be famous. Top quality modelling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Miles Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Good news for everybody but me. I won't be there.

MrPorter Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Visitors travelling by rail will have the chance to experience TFW/Keolis-Amey services and perhaps spot the only train so far in the new livery. It may be worth confirming that the Welsh lines affected by last week's storm are working normally. The free shuttle bus runs from Central on Saturday only. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPorter Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Setting up day today as soon as students have left the building. It's Friday, they won't hang around, I never did. Rail passengers are never free of weekend engineering works these days but the intrepid enthusiast will not be put off. There's a bus replacement between Shrewsbury and Newport. Two of the four lines between Newport and Severn Tunnel Junction are closed changing timetables by a few minutes in each direction. Nearest M4 junction is J32 Coryton. Good weather is expected. Let's hope that there will be no engineering works on the layouts to disrupt running trains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abergwaun Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Cracking day today, good numbers in attendance, all exhibitors, traders and demonstrators having a ball. Be there or be SQUARE tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Sam Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Really enjoyed the show today but had to leave earlier than planned due to dodgy knees giving too much pain (too much demolition this week). Really loved Washery Halt I watched it for ages but all the layouts were to a very high standard. Well worth a visit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
