RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted October 4, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 4, 2018 Evening all Just rescuing the thread from the depths of RMweb to say that Tidworth has had a few bits and pieces attended to this week, and is ready to be packed into the car tomorrow morning for the trip down to Folkestone for the the show this weekend. Only a small crew this weekend of myself, Mike (scoobyra) and Graham (shanks522), so if you're coming along say hello and you might get to drive! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDG Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Ian, the layout looked, ran, and sounded fine today at Folkestone.. I would liked to have lingered longer, but unfortunately had 2 urchins in tow who needed input. What I particularly like about Tidworth is the overall excellent standard, and how it all blends together. Top stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david51 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I agree. Best layout at the show . My only criticism not enough grime! Excellent layout runs beautifully always plenty of interest. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted October 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2018 Quirky show, in an even quirkier place, made for a cracking weekend operating Tidworth and for once, I didn't need to crash any trains as Graham and Ian seemed to be coping with doing that all on their own! We also had a good night out with Kevin from Coastal DCC which surprisingly didn't result in a headache on Sunday morning....despite trying! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to me and Graham, when you weren't on the 'throne' or eating you were circulating the halls 'shopping' mainly so we had far more opportunity to crash! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted October 8, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Evening all As Mike said we had a good time in Folkestone this last weekend with Tidworth, a big thank you to the organising team as we were well looked after, even if the hotel was like stepping back to the 1950s! My thanks also to Mike and Graham (good to see you again) for their help with running the layout and company for a couple of days. Folkestone was Tidworth's 19th exhibition and for the first time suffered a failure late Sunday morning with one of the yard points only throwing one way. However. the team managed to carry on regardless with the help of the Spanish waiter (Manuel) when the point was required! So I've got 7 weeks to make repairs in between a work trip to Bangkok next week and two weeks holiday in South Africa in November, before Tidworth makes it's 20th exhibition appearance on stand A38 at Warley! Having committed to the Folkestone exhibition, I missed the event of the year at the Severn Valley Railway with the 50's @ 50 gala, However, on Saturday evening as the real event was finishing Tidworth staged its own 50's @ 50 lineup. From L-R 50003,7,19,27,37,46,149. Edited October 9, 2018 by Temeraire 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 37058 Posted October 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2018 I am hoping to make Warley again this year. I have not seen Tidworth in the flesh yet, but have been a follower of this thread from the start. Also it would be rude to miss it, especially with the NCE virtually on my doorstep.

RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted October 9, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm also like Anthony I've always kept upto date with Tidworth but never seen it in the flesh so to speak so if I can get a day pass out from SWMBO I'll be hoping to come and see it at Warley. Even better with all those 50's you cant beat an EE type 4. Cheers Colin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted October 12, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2018 So I've got 7 weeks to make repairs A dab with the soldering iron has sorted the points failure after finding a 'dry' joint on one coil with the DVM this afternoon, so good to go for Warley! So anytime I get between now and then can be spent on some of the outstanding rolling stock projects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hello, I was looking forward to seeing this at Rail Ex Taunton today, I see it was listed on here but not on the show site. Am I missing something or was the layout pulled from the show? Cheers Wayne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
