johnb Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I am not aware of the full list of exhibits, however Marlow Maidenhead & Dist MRC will be exhibiting three layouts at this show. Firstly, a rare outing for the club owned layout Shirebeck in Emswell (BR blue in the midlands, EM gauge, DCC and sound). Then two MM&D members layouts, Little Binfield (O gauge circa 1920s Col Stephens style) and 13th Street Yard (HO gauge US 1970s switching with some sound). Please come and make yourselves known, we'll be glad to chat between operating trains Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Simon Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hi, I will also be there exhibiting my own layout Hythe Parkway, for what could be (it quite possibly maynot be) it's last show! Please come along and say hello, I will have a couple of other members of RMweb in my operating crew as well, hopefully! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 17, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2011 An excellent little show and well recommended to those in the vicinity (n.b. no layout plans in the folded A4 guide) who like to see a mixture. John B's 13th Street switching layout was running like the proverbial sewing machine while St Simon's Hythe Parkway appeared to be delighting the juniors who demanded the appearance of a Pendolino and duly got one on the next arrival; great fun with some well observed modelling (I won't mention the signal aspects ), an excellent track layout for all sorts of operating and everyone having a good time. Other layouts worth seeing as well of course including some impressive modelling on Shirebeck In Emswell and the delight of Little Binfield plus a nice little 3mm scale layout and a bit of live steam. Several sales stands with some interesting boxes of 'bits of all sorts' on several of them - one of them certainly keeping Pixie of this parish well occupied. And for those with the relevant sort of interest Kevin Robertson was there with his well-stocked bookstall (unfortunately for my bank balance). No free 'bus to the station but there was a free trip on a Routemaster to/from the Reading Society's permanent home in Prospect Park where a US outline diesel was performing on the ground level track, and an extremely nice little 2-4-2T with Joy valvegear was seen getting underway on the 3.5" track.

RMweb Premium DIW Posted September 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 21, 2011 I've just spotted this thread - what a shame I missed it. I usually use the RMWeb Exhibition Calendar as my source of information of forthcoming shows, so this one passed me by. I even had a free pass-out for Sunday morning too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
