Hopefully we shall see a Merchant Navy run again in original condition https://www.35011gsn.co.uk Thanks Graham! It would be great to see an unmodified modified Merchant Navy in steam again, although i'm also looking forward to seeing the MHR return Canadian Pacific to steam too. There's been a distinct lack of Bulleid action since Wadebridge's ticket expired. Tom. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post queensquare Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 Well done everybody, some fantastic posts and a pile of money raised, what a result.I shall probably regret this post tomorow but after a brilliant, but grueling day hacking up and down the garden path and playing trains we are back at the campsite now and after burger and griddled courgettes, several G&Ts and a bottle of wine its time for a sing song. Got to be a song about trains..... and a cycle-path killer. Lets do it for real next year, Jerry, Kim and Jazz the dog. 31 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2020 Sorry I'm late, the van driver didn't show up! A cracking show everyone, some really superb layouts on display, I'm definitely going to need to read a few topics on that forum that I've previously missed! Now that all the quality modelling has been safely packed away is there room for me to set Ravensclyffe up for a quick operating session?

RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2020 Many thanks to all the organisers for a thoroughly enjoyable event. Great modelling content and hospitality from the hosts and quickest load and unload ever for me with a micro layout.

RMweb Gold pirouets Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2020 To everyone who pulled this together and the contributors, my thanks for sharing. Mr York, if I may sow a seed, how about pulling a BRM article together out of this day of being busy doing nothing. And to Mr Jam (aka SouthernRegionSteam), your video of not attending along with your posts of Sandy Shores in my view win the Best layout not exhibited for the artistry though Clinkerford was the other one if I had to pick something from a thread that its full of gems. I'm going to skim my way round this thread again with a nice glass of Malbec. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're very kind, I'm only glad that people enjoyed it as much as I did coming up with it all; it made the tiring weekend extremely worth it! Added to that, the quality of layouts, as always, has been outstanding. A better way of spending the weekend I don't think there is. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Stubby47 Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 I'm going to slowly re-read the whole thread, and the demo thread, as there is some stunning work to be looked at. My sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed and taken part in the whole weekend's event, it has been a remarkable experience and one I'll never forget. 9 10 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was taken on 5th October 2008 if the date on my picture file is to be believed.. Two conversations with Mr York at Manchester Shows in the old Co-op venue were instrumental in me getting back into serious modelling after a few years of messing around with odd bits and pieces. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific231G Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Unfortunately having made the quiz last night I was in the end unable to not visit the show today. So.I'm very glad that so many of you posted photos and videos of your exhibits that I can enjoy instead. I've spent the past hour going through some of them and it's almost like being there. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2020 I had to take the day in a number of goes not only was my assistance wanted in the garden but also I currently have an eye condition which seems aggravated by too much screen viewing avoiding the TV is a blessing but RMweb is essential even if I have to take it in small bites. Sitting now with a glass of old speckled hen I think what a brilliant event my thanks to one and all. I was asked by someone how SWAG differes from a normal exhibition. The answer to me is the exhibitors and the viewers are interchangeable. Those who come to see the layouts one year are those exhibiting other years. Admittedly some of you are better modellers than I will ever be but you inspire me to try that bit harder. My thanks to you all those who put layouts on here and those who looked in. I have a feeling all being well next year there may be a bumber attendance. Perhaps I could get something together for next year. Don 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And gone the way of all old layouts. Keyhaven was built as part of a six square foot challenge we held back in 2008 I think. I'm sure you did take it to Taunton, I remember you left a sound fitted '33' idling on it most of the day while you were off photoing everything else !

Thanks to all for salvaging something from the cancellation. A shame not to have seen the intended layouts for real. Another time eh? Lots of content to go back over at leisure, which is one positive compared to a real show! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 26, 2020 What a brilliant virtual show and it has taken from late afternoon - now (with doing evening meal in between) and I have only got to the start of page 11 and putting a few pennies in the charity box held out by this chap called Andy outside the door. I shall be back tomorrow see the rest of the show so please do not go away - just yet! Many thanks to all for the time and effort you people have put in, and chuffed to see our former layout, Camel Quay on page 3, now in Eltel's good hands. [Terry, I'm still waiting to see a picture of that china clay coaster 'Kay O'Lynn', by the way!] 15 hours ago, ELTEL said: Sorry I’m late as I overslept, but as Camel Quay only takes 1 minute to download I’ll be ready for opening time. _________ Best wishes Polly 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2020 As it is now past midnight the border is once again closed and the glorious realm of SWAGonia is safe. Please make sure you fasten the gate as you leave and place any surplus pasties on the honesty table as the Watchman will need breakfast when he resumes his lonely vigil in the morning. Thank you.
