Myself, Mike and Rhys had a good time playing trains and I hope we didn’t disappoint and kept things moving and interesting. Layout was back home by 7.45 which wasn’t bad, but took an hour to get the car onto the drive to unload because of the need to clear snow and ice! I may not have mentioned your layout in my previous entry, but I enjoyed watching it (even when the train containing the military items inexplicably tipped over under the bridge!). Seriously though it is a very nice layout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris M Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Thanks to Colin and the Stafford team for an enjoyable weekend. It was a well run and friendly exhibition as always. The attendance looked very good. I was back home with the layout by 18:00 but the layout is still in the car this morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is coming with me, so, as usual, we will be doing our best to find layouts that have cats on them! I'm also coming with a loaded wallet, as I want to take the opportunity to pick up some essentials for my W&U project - I need some track, and some scenic materials. So it should be a good day, whatever the weather! Bet she liked Albion Estates! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I should have added, any chance of a bit more narrow gauge next year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 70000 Britannia Posted February 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2019 Many thanks to Colin and the Stafford team for hosting yet another excellent show. Arcadia Pennsylvania team thoroughly enjoyed the event and were grateful for the many kind comments. It would have been nice to have sneaked a bit more viewing time, to see the excellent layouts on offer, but we were there to operate! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted February 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2019 We had a great weekend, as usual, with Oakley Green. Many thanks to Colin and team for another great show. Finally met with a few RMwebbers and able to faces to names. However, we did have some major repair work to carry out on Friday afternoon after setting up to repair and refit the storage tanks after the glue had given way during storage in Jamie's garage! Thankfully not too much damage and able to glue all the broken bits back in place. One of the Severn Models pylons took the brunt of the damage, nothing too severe thankfully and able straighten most of the structure and glue back into position. Andy at Severn Models has very kindly given us some spare etch frets to replace any sections at the bottom if we need to replace in the future. We will be back next year!

Thankfully it's rare that trains fall off. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted February 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2019 Had a good weekend at the show with Freshwater (2mmFS, not N as advertised), despite leaving my stock box at home in snowy Hampshire. I had not been to Stafford before, and thought it was a good exhibition, plenty of room and some fine layouts. Pity I did not have the time to explore the miniature railway outside. Thanks Colin et. al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted February 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2019 I would like to echo my thanks to Colin and all the Stafford team for hosting this weekend. A great show and thanks for all the nice comments on Kyle of Lochalsh...a lot of people saying they thought it would bigger after seeing the front cover shot My thanks to Bryn, David and Andy for helping out which allowed me to see the show - saw some familiar faces, met some new ones and I thought the ‘pick n mix’ stand was a genius idea Packed up and on the road 25 mins after show closed and back in Putney, London 2 hrs 45 minutes later.

STAFFORD EXHIBITION FINAL UPDATE Well it’s all over again for another year (and it’s only 51 weeks on Friday to when we do it all again) A massive thank you to all the layout owners & operators, traders, demonstrators and of course all the visitors new and old that came to the exhibition this year and every year. The weather was kind to us in Stafford but I know many of layout teams, demonstrators and traders had to do battle with the weather, which is much appreciated by our club and it’s members. No club can put on a exhibition without the support of its members and volunteers, so a big thank you also. Last but not least thanks to the Warley Model Railway Club and The Chilterns Association fir the loan of equipment. Time to do some modelling now and get my layout Camel Quay ready Macclesfield Exhibition on 9th & 10th March Eltel On behalf of Stafford Railway Circle 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TTe layout wouldn't be any use, then, as it's 2.54mm/ft!! Ask him to expand it to include TT, not just TT3, there's some really nice layouts around...
