Preston and District Model Railway Exhibition - 2011

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Having had to cancel our 2010 Exhibition due to the adverse weather we were subjected to earlier this month the committee has taken the decision not to hold one this year. They have however decided to take advantage of the enforced break and move the date of the exhibition (permenantly) to one which is less likely to be affected by weather!!

 

With this in mind here is the announcement of the new date.................

 

Please check out the website for full details. www.prestonanddistrictmrs.org.uk (click on the 'Exhibition' button).

Unfortunately, John Holden won't be available, and I've been asked to stand in for him.

I'll have a display of Semapaphore Signalling things, mainly from John's Liverpool Lime Street layout like this gantry, plus lots to get your hands on.

Now less than two weeks away and i've found an odd electrical fault on board 1 of Cressington :huh: Doesn't actaully stop the layout running provided the point into the shed is the right way :unsure: So major prode with the meter over the next couple of days!

I'm looking forwards to taking Great Endon to the show at Preston this weekend for its first proper exhibition outing under its new management.

 

The layout has been updated (literally), its now current era rather than mid eighties :rolleyes: and has had various additions to the scenary since its last outing as well as completely new rolling stock.

 

Some may remember it gracing the cover of the final edition of Modern Railway Modelling along with an article inside.

 

Please feel free to come along and say hello.

 

Cheers

Jeremy

All very busy at 5:00 pm setting up.

Unfortunately, the man with the van with the tables wasn't expected until 7:30pm!

Helped on Blackmill for a short while then sneaked off home for my tea.

 

My plan to set up my demo stand, confirming I had remembered everything for once, has failed again.

I'll still have to get up early to return and set up in the morning.

 

I hope those ventilators in the roof are closed this year ?

 

See you all tomorrow.....

 

Steve.

Thanks for the help Steve.

 

Blackmill set up and almost ready to roll - the road vehicles were inadvertently left behind, so they'll be sorted Saturday before the show opens.

 

Cheers,

Mick
