RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted January 31, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2020 Well all has gone to plan today and over 80% of traders had arrived by 17:30 this evening when I left. Some great layouts and a few new traders including Model Railway Scenery with a great display. All for now. Terry 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 All ready for the hop to Stafford tomorrow and whilst I was checking trains noted it was time to get Advance tickets for Scotland in three weeks, £37 there and back from the northwest isn't bad and it's all in the comfort of a Pendolino.

A cuppa with my cousin 88C is scheduled for mid-morning but other than that I could be anywhere. As usual, it looks to be a good show.

MarkSG Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I'll be heading up there tomorrow, so recommendations for the must-see layouts from those attending today would be welcome! In particular, given that I'll have my cat-loving daughter with me, any advance knowledge of which layouts feature cats (and where to see them) would be much appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted February 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2020 Good show as usual, deadman’s lane 2 deep every time I passed by, excellent trade support as always came away with a pair of flangeway snowploughs in NR livery (shame they only do one number though!) and a few bits for the layout no car park issues, firm ground in the grass so no one bogged down that I could see 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatofludham Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Having managed to get up at an early (for me, I don't normally do times beginning with "0") and having driven over from Wales in just over a couple of hours, I thoroughly enjoyed the show. All involved with the organisation deserve a well deserved vote of appreciation for an extremely well organised show. Plenty of space to move around, and even at the busier layouts you could see enough. I noticed several visitors in wheelchairs who seemed to be catered for really well, and it was nice to see a lot of family groups as well. Plenty to see, a lovely range of layouts (loved the 3mm section, and the variety of smaller, micro type layouts) and plenty to spend money on. Unfortunately I didn't get to talk to Legomanbiffo about the Class 87 chip, he was too busy making money for a noisy Yorkshireman he had in tow, but, dare I say it, much more civilised, and pleasant, than another well known Midlands based exhibition. The only downside was in the 20 or so years I've been out of the county I had completely forgot just how utterly useless Staffordshire Highways are at traffic light sequencing, had I remembered in time I would have got off the M54 at the A460, gone down to Rugeley to pick up the A51 and A518, and probably still been quicker than trying to cross town from the A449. Hopefully next year, if the mountain pass isn't shut or Welshpool being washed downstream by the Severn, which at this time of the year usually cuts England off from civilisation, I'll make another mad dash across Wales to the show, well worth the effort. Again, well done to all involved, a lovely "hidden gem" on the exhibition circuit. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 1, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) DL worked well today with the larger storage yard. Unfortunately there was a failure of the mainline signal controls discovered at Friday setup, so basic manual switches were installed to get them working again. Had a yellow/red bleed, but that's now sorted. Same again Sunday. Cheers Mick Edited February 1, 2020 by newbryford 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I was pleasantly surprised just how much modern-ish stuff was on exhibition, a nice change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 14.40 bus was full by around 14.30 so left early along with the second bus also busy. Hopefully they got back in time for the 15.10 bus.
