RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 31, 2014 Looking forward to Santa Barbara's first outing of the year. A few new items of rolling stock will have their first run on the layout. Look out for the new UP water tenders behind the UP Challenger steam excursion for starters.

RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted February 7, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2014 I've bumped this as it is set up for us today in readiness for tommorrow. For anyone going to Doncaster put it off to Sunday as on a saturday you are likely to see Andy Y eating a pie when you enter, at least on Sunday he'll have a pint** So Biggleswade in the morning and Donnie on Sunday, that's your weekend sorted for you. ** I speak from personal experience.......

PenrithBeacon Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I went to this excellent show today, and although the 'box shifters' were a disappointment (right old tut!), I thought it was a really good show and would recommend it for next year. Tanybwlch More to follow ... Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This is in danger of becoming a finescale show! 3 excellent EM layouts [3 more than at the forthcoming Ally Pally, it would seem], Tan y Bwlch and the small but perfectly formed Weslo Steels kept me well occupied in between bouts of gossiping and raiding the second hand stall. Tea was a very sensible 60p a cardboard cup and a cheese roll for £2 filled a hole [don't try it at Dawlish though, CK]. Especially welcome, and humane, was the decision to admit the queue 15 minutes early as the sunny day made way first for threatening grey skies and then a short sharp shower. Thank you, chris p bacon and colleagues. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the bad weather its nice to see the shwo well attended. Many superb layouts that I wisj=h I had more tiem to have seen myself. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and a great idea to have a tea trolley turn up just as we arrived to set up. Nice touch. It was also good how you managed to hold off the rain as we loaded the vehicles at the ned of the day!! Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hello Thanks to every-one at East Beds Club for a really good show as usual. John and I enjoyed ourselves very much. After it's less than scintillating performance at the NEC Georgemas Junction was back to normal and performed faultlessly. Thanks also to all out fellow exhibitors and traders for being such a friendly crowd. We hope to back at sometime in the future. Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapford34102 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi, Can I second George's comments, it's a show well worth a visit. Tim and I had a thoroughly good day with Drewry and nice to meet some new people. It's a show we'd be happy to go back to as well and if I was a tad closer it would be on my calendar simply for a visit. Well done Dick and his team.

0O00 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Evening all Always a good show (I would say that as a former/distant member of EBMRS). Had a great session operating Cheriton Bishop (almost forgotten how to operate it after a 5 year absence!). Good to see Oldshaw back on show too (cheers Maggie and Alan). Well done all.
