North Eastern Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 We have had a last minute cancellation - 'The Buffer Stop Shop' unfortunately can't make it. Instead we have 'Sist Trees' stockists of over 700 types of trees, taking their place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted November 27, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hi, I should be there both days, "working" on Contikits stand. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Eastern Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Got home about an hour ago, after what seemed to be a manic 6 hours, organising the set up of the exhibition. Just about everyone arrived apart from a couple of stragglers that are coming first thing tomorrow. So if you are at loose end tomorrow come and see the 'Largest Exhibtion in the North East' you won't be disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
packetlos Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Visited today for the first time and throught it was a great show, lots of N and 2mm to keep me entertained. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poindexter Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Excellent day out. Far better than the Newcastle show (lots of quality layouts as opposed to just 1 or 2 (my opinion)). Good venue, well run, could of done with a bit more parking. Lots of decent traders as well. I prefer diesel/modern image layouts and I was not dissapointed with Anderstaff, Thorne Yard and Grange over Sands present. But some of the steam stuff was sublime. E.G. Windrush with its lovely landscape and trees (not to mention the garage tucked away at the top). Vine Street was a joy to watch and it was good to see Borchester. Also good to catch up with a few RMwebbers. Here's a few images. Video to follow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragtag Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I'd agree, for my modelling interests the Blyth show was better than the Newcastle one. Thorne Yard and Grange-over-Sands were personal highlights. I think it's the first time I've ever stopped to properly watch an N-gauge layout. Bumped into a few RMWebbers around the place too, especially Dave of Thorne Yard. All in all I think I'll likely go to Blyth next year and maybe miss Newcastle. If only I could make it to Darlington Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN CRUACHAN Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 After spending all day at Blyth today. May I congratulate Chris and his team on an excellent exhibition this year. Every year this exhibition gets better and better and is a credit to Blyth club. Can't wait for next August bank holiday weekend at the new venue. Well Done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penlan Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I recognise the lad on stand 17, he was at the Taunton SWAG do earlier this year, very welcome and good company the previous evening too in the pub. He had made a very long journey to see CK's crew. No I don't know his name, faces I'm alright with (even the tops of their heads ), but names Penlan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
