valleymodeller Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I've just seen this thread and found details on UK modelshops, so as this is only 3 miles from me I'll definitely be attending. Trevanna Dries owner Wayne has been trying to convert me over to EM for a while now so this might be the time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

valleymodeller Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Well I went and thoroughly enjoyed it. As a new EM Society member it was very interesting to see what is available. And the 3 layouts were great too. In fact it was more enjoyable than many other full shows I have been to. Tony 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Glad it worked well for you, Tony. It did for me as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it, my pocket less so after a few visits to Martin’s bring and buy stand. All good bargains though! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Well what a great show, I thoroughly enjoyed exhibiting today. Great to catch up with old faces and meet some new ones, many people travelled far and wide to visit and they all seemed to enjoy it. Thanks to Peter and the EM society for the invite... Here's a quick photo the layout I was showing, Trevanna Dries. It's just turned lunch time at the works and the manager has popped out for sneaky photo before any of his employees find out he has an interest in railways. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
