Mike J Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'll be there "helping" to run the North of England Line which since Peterborough will have new canal water, improved trackwork in parts, all green scout tents and a flagpole at the camp, and more completed scenery. Saturday we'll be running 1930/40s LNER/LMS, while Sunday will see a complete change of stock to 1950/60s BR. Come and say hello, we do run special requests and photo stops where possible, and still amazingly no member of the public has ever been bitten! Hope to see some RMWebbers there. Mike Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, some 4mm construction called Haymarket Cross is also hitching a ride in the van along with some more of the old reprobates from Scarborough. 1960s DCC sound east coast shed layout with many renumbered and renamed locomotives in both steam and diesel by Ian Harper. Should be worth watching...but watch out for the seagulls, they cr*p everywhere! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLD Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 The S4 Society will also have a stand at this show, it's been missed from the list Steve's list (and the website) doesn't list each individual demonstration stand... But I can reveal that as well as the S4 Socitey, there will be: the EM Gauge Socitey, Mick Nicholson (signaling) Ray Hogben (N gauge buildings) a display from Peter Goss (builder of 'Etton' and 'Rowlands Castle') of buildings and rolling stock for his next project - from the bits he had at the Hull MRS open day earlier this year, this should be worth seeing! and some blokes from the Wirral who seem to turn up each year... not sure exactly what they'll be doing but it's usually modern and noisy...

Mike J Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Received show pack this week and I think the back of the hall should now be Christened "Scarborough corner" with Haymarket Cross and The North of England Line side by side! Great planning guys as alot of members can operate both layouts, some of us being "cross-gaugers". N.O.E.L. is going through its first major tweak, with new canal water installed, (we were never really satisfied with the original) and some of the trackwork receiving attention. Also all the Scout camp tents are now green and a flagpole will soon be raised, after a valued observation by a viewer at Peterborough. (thanks) Also, hopefully a few more trees and a more complete town backscene. I have also been asked to do some more weathering on Haymarket Cross by Ian Harper, so more seagull s**t on the roofs will be appearing soon! Will there be a new A2? Hopefully. The anticipation is building, with Scarborough going mob handed we are really looking forward to this show.

Hi Cutler, No, just a quick jump from N to OO and back every now and then, although I can't speak for the rest of the lads, and what they do in their spare time is their own business! Some might more readily admit to anything other than being a railway modeller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike just to let you know I've managed to get the pink shirts you wanted ! having a spot of trouble getting the correct size tights though. In the meantime looks as though I will be busy doing some renumbering ready for the show as the Bachmann A2 is now out & am just waiting for them to arrive so I can get them done. I hope to be fitting them with Lenz Gold decoders (if they will fit) Cheers Ian H (Haymarket Cross) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
