Jeremy Davison Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 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 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.

RMweb Gold Steve Hewitt Posted March 4, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 4, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2011 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.
