RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted December 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2019 I was there on the Saturday arriving courtesy of UK Railtours which maybe explains why the show had a sudden influx of visitors around 2:00pm. Coming from down here in the far south east corner of the country (which meant getting up at 4:45am!!) I found the show to be quite interesting especially as many of the layouts and traders present don't appear on the exhibition circuit down this way. One problem I did find was the difficulty of getting a good view of the N-gauge layouts most of which seemed rather low compared to the height of the OO and O-gauge layouts. Must admit that some of the best views I got were from the videos above done by Trent Valley Railway. …… and for Baz, dates of next years show are Saturday/Sunday 12th & 13th December.

Keith I got the impression where possible the layouts were at a lower level to appeal to the family audience and younger visitors being able to see the layouts without the need for steps. Thanks for your kind comments on the videos Keith. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Manchester Exhibition 2019 Here is a selection of my photos taken on the Saturday, not the best, I’m afraid as a lot of the layouts were very busy and hard to get close to. It seems the GMRC has had quite an effect as there certainly were lots of families in attendance. Netherwood Sidings in 0 scale. Clarendon & Scrubbs Lane Marx Engels Platz Cheadle Ridge Lane TMD Upwell Drove and Elm Lane was a really pretty and very well presented dual layout (in two parts!), wonderful! Moorton Bottom Yard Maristow. Having been corralled into operating on this layout (Great fun, thanks, Bob!), I am embarrassed that I only snapped these shots, D’oh! The sole “American” representative as part of the MERG stand, demonstrating their own electronics and ‘application’ based control gear with a hands on demo. This little Brawa lok ran beautifully! Kozel Cement. The MMRS own Hazelwood Junction That’s all, folks! 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
