RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted January 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2019 Good day was had at Normanton and Pontefract show today Big thanks to the NPRMS team for making us welcome. Great show with some cracking layouts. Couple of pictures below from today: - IMG_0128.jpeg IMG_0129.jpeg IMG_0130.jpeg IMG_0131.jpeg If I may be so bold, seeing the stand number sitting on the scenery and a loose A4 information sheet just stuck on the front of the layout spoils the whole look of what is otherwise a very professional presentation. Fixing the stand number to the fascia, and making the info sheet fit neatly on the front, would make a huge difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixing the stand number to the fascia, and making the info sheet fit neatly on the front, would make a huge difference. We received the solid metal stand number late on Friday. It would not have stuck to the fascia with anything other than permanent glue or screws so was place on the back scene for safety reasons. We have a pull up information stand which was at the end of the layout. The info sheet is not normally used as the pull up explains the layout as well as the techniques used to build it.

Baz Fair enough. Perhaps a bit of British Standard bent coathanger through the screw hole to hang it over the fascia would have done the trick. Just a thought for next time.

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted January 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2019 Some photos from last weekend, nothing fancy, just using my phone and the layout lighting. Some of the best ones don't actually have trains in them. From the right viewpoint the backscene blends in perfectly. The 1923 Horwich Mallet drew a fair bit of attention every time it ran round. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicktoix Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Fair enough. Perhaps a bit of British Standard bent coathanger through the screw hole to hang it over the fascia would have done the trick. Just a thought for next time.The info sheet on the front gave minimal info e.g place and time. I'm going to do a detailed history pull-up after we've been to Chapel in case we get more history.

RMweb Gold innocentman Posted February 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Well the layout is all packed up ready for its next show, which just happens to be in Chapel-en-le-Frith. It's the New Mills and District Railway Modelers show this weekend (23rd/24th Feb) at Chapel-en-le-Frith High school. We are really looking forward to this show and hope to meet the people of Chapel and the surrounding district. We have already had engagement this week on a Leeds MRS Facebook page post from a few people who had family who worked on the railways around Chapel-en-le Frith Central and South. Hopefully we can meet a few more at the show and hear a few stories about the station, its people and its operation. (https://www.facebook.com/Leeds-Model-Railway-Society-CIO-255524804592290/) For more information on the show visit the NMDRM website at http://www.nmdrm.co.uk/nextexhibition.html Edited February 21, 2019 by innocentman 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold innocentman Posted February 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Another show over. All back in the clubrooms before 8pm last night. It was an experience taking a model of a real place to the the place. Some wonderful feed back and some great stories about the folk on and around the railway. We even had a visit from a former signalman at Chapel-en-le-Frith Central. We have also been lent some documents (more on those later) and have made contact with a few people who have photo's to share and a house we can measure on Midland Road (thank you Seahorse of this parish). Dr John (left of picture below) was kept busy taking to the public and hearing all the stories and feedback Big thanks go to to the New Mills and District Railway Modellers, for the their invite and hospitality. They liked us so much that we won couple of awards from them, Best Visiting Layout and Most Popular Layout.

seahorse Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Really enjoyed seeing this layout - and almost on my doorstep . And thanks to Innocentman and friends for letting me operate - not everyone gets a chance to drive the trains they saw from school past the house where they live. Now I'll go and run my Britannia, Jubilee 8f etc 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold innocentman Posted July 1, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2019 Its been a while since we have had a post on the CELF page. It has been a bit quiet with members of the team on holidays or undertaking home renovations so not much change on the layout. We have had a couple of additions to the stock roster for the class 1 passenger trains and express freight. First up is a loco often known as the "Royal Dragon" by the footplate staff, 46153 "The Royal Dragoon" built from a Comet kit. And second we have yet another 8F, this time with a Fowler tender. The loco is a a mash of an old K's kit, comet chassis, tender & cab, with Alan Gibson wheels and chimney. Both are powered using Mashima 1428s and High Level gearboxes 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
