Long Line Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Apologies for the delay this year in posting our show content, entirely due to the huge number of changes we've been faced with due to all manner of reason. At this time we accordingly still have room for a couple of not too large! layouts and a trader, especially a tools and modelling materials one! One layout needs to be a 'travel each day in your own vehicle' example and for the other from further afield (approx-over an hour each way) we still have one DOUBLE! hotel room available on the fri/sat eve's for a layout 'not requiring van hire or ferries etc' for either a couple? a single person? or two guys that get on well LOL .... any takers or suggestions will be looked upon with glee I can be contacted here or more directly through our website at themodelshow.co.uk cheers Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnham-on-sea Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Bridgford is ready to go for what will be its last show with me, 72 since 1997. Hopefully someone else will take it on, as I no longer have room for it and we are all getting older! Alastair. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Line Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 One late trade entry... Railway Memorabilia Shop. Please be advised that some roads in Woodford and Hazel Grove will be closed on Saturday around mid-morning til lunchtime, for the Tour of Britain cycle race passing through the area. During this period we advise if: coming from the north or west to approach Poynton via the A555 (airport east link road) then A523. If approaching from the south or east to use the A523 from Macclesfield. We anticipate this disruption to only be for a couple of hours!

BigAndy Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I shall be there again this year, by kind invitation. I'll be demoing how I go about in my limited skills way, how to detail/build/modify Diesels and be showing locos plus stock ( inc latest completed stuff ) for Glasgow Queen St in EM gauge. If you've not been to this show before, it is WELL worth the effort in going - there is plenty to see and do and reflects the Herculean effort put in by the organising team ( not me! ) cheers Andy 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Line Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Well here we go again... another very late finish table making for some last minute bookings last night and stand pack printing since early today. Today we collect the stewards and kit from afar in advance of Friday! Exhibition managers worst nightmare this year as cancellations have forced me to enter my own layout Aston Magna, the new roundy-roundy variant of which is way too much work for a quick assembly last job Friday eve, so its returning for one last showing in the end to-end-style. So after polishing the bar and preparing in advance of Saturdays post show beverage this morning i'll have to find whats left of the end tables and notice boards etc and replace the bits that have already gone up the chimney!! oh and i should probably sort out some stock and locos!! all good fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnham-on-sea Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Back home and put away. Thanks to Mark and his team for a very enjoyable, relaxing weekend. Bridgford ran well, just a pity no one wanted to give it a new home, so the hunt goes on. Lots of interest in the trains. Alastair. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted September 15, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 15, 2019 One of my friends went and enjoyed the show. One thing that really impressed him was a 'Midland Pullman' loco - two power cars 'cut and shut' to make a loco. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaGrange Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Briefly and unexpectedly made it to the show on Saturday for an hour (thanks mainly to the big signs in the village), a nice show and well put together - apart from the stand numbers not being in order which would have confused a few people. Thanks for the chats @BigAndy and @70000 Britannia 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach bogie Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I had to deliver my son to University medical school on Saturday. Quick check of the modeller and there were three shows on in the area, Romily, Shipley and Poynton. Poynton won and I had a great couple of hours, once I had found it ( a few direction signs would have helped). I kept going back to the layout with real water. Outstanding. Bought a couple of coach kits from Stevenson Carriages. Totally unexpected end to the day. Mike Wiltshire 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
