Moderators AY Mod Posted March 13, 2021 Author Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2021 If you've ever been tempted by RMweb Gold keep your eyes open for a particularly special offer I steam-rollered through yesterday; it's better than Black Friday, newer than a New Year sale and fresher than a Spring Sale.

Moderators AY Mod Posted March 13, 2021 Author Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2021 Motivated by the inclusion of Black Country Blues in the show I thought it high time all the chapters of the BCB story were pulled together for a special digital edition of BRM. https://pocketmags.com/british-railway-modelling-magazine/black-country-blues?utm_source=notificationcenter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=warnersgroup_newissue_special1&utm_term=British Railway Modelling&utm_content=buycta 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted March 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2021 Am I the only one to be somewhat disappointed by the "Phil Parker weather a Tractor" to discover it wasnt about one of English Electric's finest, but instead, well, a tractor? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that he's had some exposure to vintage farm machinery through the club in earlier years I am not surprised he's an extractorfan. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was chuffed to be able to demo it at the show. 2) The tractor in question was chosen because it features in a chase scene at the end of my first novel.

Evertonian Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Congratulations Andy and co. for entertaining us again with another excellent virtual show. I imagine the amount of work behind the scenes must be enormous to collate and organise such an event . Must also extend congrats to fellow group members Roger and Dave for their work on 'best layout' winners B'm'th West. Must also mention Jason's Bacup - another hidden gem - terrific modelling here Edited March 13, 2021 by Evertonian Far fingers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartaruga Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I enjoyed following today's proceeds, and discovering new layouts and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens tomorrow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted March 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) I've dipped into the show several times today. Most enjoyable. The video by my late friend, Alan Ronalds, of his Vale of Lune layout, came as a pleasant surprise. I was one of Alan's regular operators when my box roster permitted and we were suitably rotated to ensure we all got to know one another. Great fun, and thanks for refreshing memories of pleasant evenings past. John Edited March 13, 2021 by Dunsignalling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Markwj Posted March 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2021 Dipped in and out of the content today ,thought Ben came across very well on the Heljan interview as a representative keen to do a good job trying to keep us modellers happy which is a job in itself! Some of the class 47 tooling conundrums gave me a better insight into what the manufacturers are faced with. Must be hard trying to get new content especially of model railways if they can only set up at a show for example. Well done to all involved. Looking forward to dipping in tomorrow too! cheers mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted March 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2021 Excellent exhibition. I especially enjoyed watching the trains go by at Perry Bar and the interviews with Accurascale and KR Models. Cheers Darius 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AY Mod Posted March 14, 2021 Author Moderators Share Posted March 14, 2021 I can put my feet up now as Phil's looking after the rest of the day now. We would welcome any feedback from you if you've visited the show so we can take it into account after the event. Hopefully we'll get a break for a few months from one as they do take a lot of time to pull together - the whole team put in some extraordinary efforts and we would like to thank our sponsors, advertisers and anyone who has made any purchases this weekend. 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - I'm in charge and we've still plenty of content for you to enjoy. This show goes out with a bang, not a whimper! Sadly, my plans for free cake for all visitors were scuppered by Covid, but I can assure you it is delicious! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Virtual Shows are here to stay, alongside the "real" ones. The offer something different and are developing to take on a life of their own. There's no reason we can't have both. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted March 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Surely not with him wearing his finest tweed! Preposterous! In any case, I've really been enjoying the show all weekend. Barely got any work done, but it's given me renewed purpose to get on and finish the design for my latest layout, Coastguard Creek. Many thanks to everyone who has worked hard behind the scenes recording and editing the vast swathes of content. (P.S. No puzzles this time around?)
