Just to quantify what Northpoint means, I am currently building a HO scale Pacific Northwest paper mill inspired 3-2-2 inglenook with the specific intention of allowing visitors to interact with the layout, either by conducting the crew to solve the switching conundrum or by operating it themselves. No photos yet, but progress is rapidly advancing for it to be ready for June. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robatron86 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I'm very much looking forward to this. I haven’t exhibited since November 2017 and I have missed it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) A couple of changes to the original listing: Amend: Victoria from Dave Tailby in stead of Friday Bridge. New: Winkford Green - OO, from Martin Hogg. Traders: Tutbury Models is an addition. Edited February 23, 2019 by Northpoint Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heron is surviving impromptu test sessions, although I have discovered that although modelling a wet location at night sounds arty, I've had to add additional ambient lighting to actually see what's happening... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5050 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I would have loved to have been able to come this year - but my time has been spoken for elsewhere sadly. Hope it all goes well. Hopefully next year. With layout perhaps? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(a little daunting as I've built my layout specifically for the show over the last few months, so it's still very much a work in progress :-) ) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northpoint Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Only just over a week to go so I'm trying to shoe-horn everything in. I took some advice from my mentor last night, Colin Hill who organises things at Stafford every year, and we thnik we can just baout get it all in! I have had requests from a couple of local traders - Nick Smith and Toby Wood - who will be there with some interesting accessories and laser cut kits. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
