RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted November 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 8, 2019 I really enjoyed last years show. The quality of exhibits was top notch, and being just post Christmas, just the right time to get out & about. I'd thoroughly recommend it. I got dragged into the pub as well.... "Oh go on, if you insist......." Cheers, Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

br2975 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 SHEPCOTE LANE - one of the layouts on display at the show, exhibited by Josh Lovell, and built in conjunction with Barrie 'Baz' Jones who will be demonstrating on the day. . Built to 4mm scale and set in the steel industry of South Yorkshire , the layout employs an ingenious working wagon tippler and traverser. .

Philou Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 About six weeks to go! Again, I shall be sorry to not be able to be there and meet fellow members of the RMWeb collective and see some really good looking layouts. Maybe one day ...... maybe. I shall look forward to seeing the video of the show. Please pop over and say 'Hello' on my behalf to my brother Peter on the Lord and Butler stand. Good luck to you all on the day, Philip 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philou Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 You really are very naughty people - he's told me all about the trip and the 'meeting' on the motorway. As long as no-one you know was involved in the accident - all's well Cheers, Philip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
