Persephone Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 " 'Ere that never ran over that bridge" Myself in tweed jacket old pedant mode on my own model of New Hey, running it as a demo layout at Expo EM North, September 2007, still then in balmy Slaithwaite. They were actually doing some filming for Last of the Summer Wine on the street opposite during the show, which seemed appropriate. Captured if memory serves me correct by one Martin Wales. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to Macclesfield. First pic is at Loughbrough. The giveaway on very close inspection is Sherwood Models stand just visible to the left of the stage. The second is definitely Manchester. I've found a better one from the same day.... One of the same people visible.

However I think I remember you at the 1977 show - but I don't remember you on the bookstall. Didn't you spend a lot of time on the Studiolith stand? Was it Ann with or without an 'e'? I remember him gaining free entry to the show on the pretext of being a temporary bookshop employee. I remember manning the bookshop stand whilst he was absent. I can't remember if she had an 'e' or not, Tim, but until that time I hadn't realised that he had such a deep interest in P4.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Not Jeremy Posted January 24, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Thinking about P4(!), here is a portrait of the legendary and sadly late Roy Jackson. He is seem here "helping" in the fiddle yard of Geoff Kent's Black Lion Crossing at Expo EM 2018, to be fair he was in conversation with Mick Wakefield on his left when I snapped him. Such a funny man, and delightfully forthright in so many ways. Expo EM is a great show, but the evenings in the pub with Roy and his crew were something else. But then again this probably goes for the post show gatherings of so many groups of friends and exhibitors up and down the land. I suspect it is this aspect of shows that a lot of us are looking forward to getting back to.

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted January 24, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2021 David Lane and company's "Railex" is a thoroughly good show which never disappoints. One of the really nice aspects, and a measure of the huge care and thought that goes in to the whole thing, is the absolutely spiffing means of getting from the station to the show venue. Move along the bus please... 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2021 Mentioning late friends, back in 2009 we exhibited a layout at West Moors Country Park when they had yearly model railway events. On the Sunday morning our late friend Graham had a trip round the line as a daily inspection before operating commenced. Our layout was in the shed behind him. Another photo this time at Wigan the same year with Graham in mas spirit. We used to have around 22 shows a year with various layouts and Graham was there to help at most of them. The pubs in the evening made some long days very relaxing. The last time he helped at a show was May 2015 in Burgess Hill which was local to him and that was the last time I saw him. 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasatcopthorne Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 One of my most favourite photos from a show. I think it was in Bognor or Worthing Sussex 2010 I have tried on more than one occasion to find out who his father is to see if he would like a copy. If you know him, please get his father to make contact through Carshalton & Sutton MRC 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layout I always remember from those days was Yatton Junction (as well as Ffarquhar and Llareggub) It was probably 1970 when I was employed stewarding in the "cinema" showing such BTF classics as Farmer Moves South and Fully Fitted Freight. I believe the terms of hiring those films forbade charging to see them, so it it had to be explained that the charge was for the use of a seat.
