RMweb Premium Chris116 Posted March 19, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2017 I saw an OO9 layout many years ago with two Dolgoch's double heading a train at an exhibition. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted March 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2017 How about double heading an LMS liveried Jubilee with a LNER liveried Cock o the North? They existed contemporaneously so, although it is unlikely, any scientific examination of the scenario would, in the absence of positive and corroborated evidence to the contrary, have to admit that it is possible. Certainly more so than the LMS and/or LNER building large and expensive locomotives to run on a 4'1" railway... Jubilee has worked from Glasgow to Edinburgh on a special, and is required at Carlisle. Pilots P2 over Waverley route to save a path; P2 is substituting for failed A3 itself booked to cover NBR Atlantic duty while loco is at Cowlairs. Any advance on that? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT3 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think the Fell would make a fine RTR product or, even better an excellent 'new build' project for main line running... Oh sorry, thought this was the "how to get lynched on RMweb" topic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loconuts Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) "How to get lynched at a Model Railway Show" is the title of this topic, however I think it should the Exhibition organisers that should be lynched. I visited a general Model Railway Show this weekend and my first impression on entering the show was that I had walked into a well known Model Shop in Liverpool, everything was straight out of the box, layouts being clones of each other, no care by the exhibitors to put on a good show. I experianced a diesel loco where the sound decoder had defaulted to factory settings and was emitting steam sounds and none of the operators had noticed. A 57xx pannier tank which was sound fitted which did not sound like a 57xx, as a matter of fact it sounded more like someone dragging a file across some tin plate. It was also emitting 3 beats per revolution and I am sure they only had 2 cylinders. Also there were the usual crop of exhibitors sat talking to their mates behind their layouts and nothing moving. Trade stands selling the same old boxes with very few specialist traders, I went there to get some scenic materials for my layout but I walked away without spending a thing apart from my entrance fee and also the snacks were not bad. The only layouts that broke the mould were the narrow gauge ones and very nice they were. Does this qualify me for a lynching?

joppyuk1 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I was at a recent large show, looking at a layout, when a couple of elderly gents passed behind me and I heard one saying " what's that one? I've never heard of 009". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil I was at an exhibition just before Christmas, I carry my exhibits in a small trailer which I loaded up in the hall after the exhibition closed. I parked my car near to the doorway but making sure that the exit was clear and went to collect the trailer. When I returned to the car I found a van parked close to my drivers door so close in fact that I couldn't enter my car. The van was also parked on a grassed area in front of the door despite there being a hardstanding a couple of metres away. When I asked the people to move the van I was told that I would have to wait until they've finished loading. I complained to the exhibition manager and he got the same reply. The people concerned will not get an invitation to that show again and a few others around informed me that they do not receive much in the way of invites to other exhibitions due to their attitude 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
