bbishop Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 TonyA and myself are taking down the German Railway Society stand. We will be assisted over the weekend by Keith (Tetsudofan). We have a choice of spending Saturday evening at the Folkestone Riding Club quiznight, with my sister's lunatic cat and dog, or going for a meal. Anyone fancy joining us in the latter endeavour?

Layout had a few hiccups in the morning that it's never had before but all was well in the afternoon. Busy show today and some great layouts which there are some I hope to see tomorrow if all goes well. Let's hope it's dry tomorrow evening unlike this morning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinW Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It was a good weekend. Particular thanks to fellow Tonbridge MRC members who helped crash operate Southbridge along with loading and unloading. Guilty due to diminshed sight (other operators leaning across my sightline so couldn't check to make sure I had set the points in fiddleyard and ended up trying to put 3 trains into a 2 train road ), but thanks for the plays Graham. It was good to meet the Rm Webbers I know, apologies to the others I didn't get a chance to meet. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSutt Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Happened to be in Kent over the week end, so I dropped in at the show. I was very impressed by the show. I found that the having the show at many levels seemed to spread the load of people and gave one a chance to view everything at leisure. Well done the organizers and exhibitors. Only one rucksack noted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Folkestone Show- with one of the best views in the country from the Hall! A shame the dolphin left.. I wonder who I'll see from work, pretending they're only there for their children's sake? An excuse that didn't last long in one case, when a small voice said 'Can we go, daddy? We're bored..'
