fulton Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Plant City had its first outing yesterday at the Crawley US show, all performed well with some interesting conversations, pre opening photo, was quiet busy for a specialist show, will be replacing my mail boxes with some very nice 3d printed items from Baztrains, who were at the show, an enjoyable day. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stivesnick Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Great to see the layout on Saturday - very impressive and very different from the typical American switching layout often seen at exhibitions. Loved the alligators - where did they come from? Nick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fulton Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Have just exhibited at Watford, an enjoyable day, no problems with the layout, only its third time out, the last of my 20 year old, Digitrax Buddy controllers packed up, by chance the stand opposite had a second hand one, prefer the old style to the current one. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted February 12 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12 Just watched a couple of videos of the layout at the Erith 2024 show (thank you for the pointer). Absolutely loved the way the layout comes across - the videos really capture the spaciousness of the model*. Some brilliant detailed modelling too, a lot to see around the tracks. Very impressed. Thanks, Keith. (* I note in the audio I can hear an explanation that even still there had to be length compression of this US prototype to fit) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
