Axlebox Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 BEWARE THE BUS LANE CAMERA TRAP ...one of the exits off the Perth Green estate is a bus only lane, its easy to miss the signs...they couldn't have designed a better trap if they'd tried...and you will get a fine...(voice of experience) Oh and the show is really good...it just gets better every year.

Alcanman Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Another great show at Perth Green. I've been attending for many years but wasn't aware of the Bus Lane Camera Trap! Just hope I missed it yesterday! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle are timed but Gateshead aren't just to confuse! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Really enjoyed my visit to Perth Green show today. Excellent show, with a good selection of traders. It was good to catch up with some friendly faces too! The highlights for me were probably Kielder Forest, which was a superb example of prototypical finescale modelling, and Loch Dour, a layout based around a whisky distillery, which featured some fine wintery scenic work. I am an 0 gauge modeller and loved the shed layout Hobbs Warren, some absolutely fantastic LNER steam locos on display. I also enjoyed a couple of the excellent 009 scale narrow gauge layouts. Well done once again to Perth Green MRC for a great show. PS - that camera at the exit to the Scotch Estate is absolutely notorious in these here parts. I hope nobody got stung this weekend..... Edited March 18, 2019 by south_tyne Added the name of the 0 gauge layout I had forgotten 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangoman69 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Great show today at Perth Green, got there around lunchtime and had a good meander about taking in the fantastic layouts on show. Stocked up on some bits & pieces to get my own effort moving in the right direction. A friendly show that I will be back to next year Karl 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moggs Eye Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Perth Green is the furthest North I've been with my layout and I had a thoroughly good weekend. The standard of layouts was impressive, they were very friendly hosts and I am a convert to the lovely coastline between Sunderland and South Shields. The modelling standards on display were inspiring and I wish I could have spent more time looking into the details, but operating must come first. Great show, thanks. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogg, Glad you enjoyed your weekend in our part of the world. We are quite blessed to have such a wonderful coastline so easy at hand, it is somewhat of a hidden jewel, and I for one sometimes take it for granted. Which was your layout? Cheers, David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, David Taking for granted the place where you live is easily done. We're the same in Lincolnshire. I was there with Cottleston, in the smaller of the halls beside the American narrow gauge. Cheers, Ben. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, another fantastic layout I really enjoyed the show, I thought the overall standard of modelling on display was excellent. Very true, it's human nature I suppose. I have that coast on the doorstep but long to spend my time in Norfolk and Suffolk! The grass is always greener.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moggs Eye Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The Cottleston crew (both of us) enjoyed a very good curry at Shagorika on the sea front on Saturday night. Highly recommended. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
