RMweb Gold big jim Posted November 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2019 I’m going tomorrow after work, got to work the RHTT into bescot first, I’ll have a kip On the loco while it’s serviced then head over to the NEC, I was planning on catching the train from bescot but I’ll have to see if anything is running, if not I’ll hitch a ride on the RHTT which conveniently has an op stop in international at 11:30! 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Cregan Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hi Does anyone know if the bag drop facility will be available this year? I found it very handy last year to go shopping unhindered and then pack up for the flight home. Cheers Jack 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2019 I didn't know there was a bag drop off point. I have to use a walker at shows now, it usually ends up festooned with bags although for a show this size I'm bringing a fold up trolley as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted November 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2019 I always use the cloakroom when I go, just need to remember to collect my stuff on the way back out! As I’m coming straight from work I’ll probably be head to toe in orange hi-viz so I’d better leave the jacket in the cloakroom or anyone who brushes past me may get buffer grease on themselves! (Although that’s one way of having my own personal space in front of a layout!) 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you go via Camborne any day except Wednesday, the train stops there, and if there's a cornishman in the box, the signal will be pulled dreckly, so you could be sat waiting a long time.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) I put a high degree of thought in to my plan for Saturday at Warley... Ive consistently spent a 4 figure sum each year, often as a source for projects (rather than new releases) for my modelling projects next year. Indeed the only 2 new releases on my shopping list is a “Planet” industrial shunter in 4mm from Narrow Planet, to represent as the National Benzole Shunter at Bury in the early 1970’s, and R4901 Mk2 Test train coach, which i wasn't going to buy solo and pay postage on. My wish list of items, subject to price & availability is considerable though.. Ive got 2 items quite high on that list with a tip off about one of them tomorrow which is going to be my early target. Usually always theres an unexpected surprise find too. My usual modus operandi is, targetted hunting on saturday morning, followed by scouting the shops generally in the afternoon. Sundays, is all about the layouts and take the family with me. so my plan starts in red for the first pass at early doors, followed by blue and green... military precision... if you want it and its limited.. at Warley its so big its the only way... never arrived after 915, never left before close, never sat for more than 45 mins. That said this year, for the first time, the Bachmann returns stand isnt stop number 1. i’ll see you at the doors in 10hrs and 7 minutes.., Heljan stand at 09.15:30 arr, 09:15:40 dep (return later) Accurascale at 10:15 arr.. departure tbc. Spoons at noon for the Rmweb drinks / half time natter ? Edited November 22, 2019 by adb968008 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say for sure, Mike, as they were all HAAs when I knew them 30-odd years ago. Presumably if there was no handbrake the lever(s) would have been removed? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
