The YMR forum has combined with

Kernow Model Railway Centre, to organise a major new show in Camborne, Cornwall.

Based on a solid foundation of manufacturer support and attracting a wide range of specialist trade stands and outstanding layouts, demonstrations and societies, this exhibition is sure to attract excellent public support.

The initial show is scheduled for 4th & 5th of September 2010 at the Camborne College of Science & Technology.

Two rooms totalling nearly 8,000 sq ft are booked, with an option of more space if required.

It is envisaged that this exhibition will be held biennially and become one of the must-attend shows in the South West of England.

Pen y Bont, an OO gauge branch terminus built by Frank Collins is one of the layouts booked to appear.

With more than 12 months to go, the Manufacturer line up is already impressive. Both Hornby Magazine and Model Rail Magazine have agreed to support the show and will be attending with their own stands.

Manufacturers already booked to be there include Peco (including Railway Modeller & Continental Modeller), Bachmann, Hornby Railways, Dapol, Fleischmann, Gaugemaster (who will also be representing Piko/Faller /Noch and Kato), The Lenz UK Agents, and OnTracks (Hornby International).

The

YMR Forum is due to show, for the first time in the UK, a module-built layout. Members from around the world (including Australia, USA, Europe and even Iraq) have contributed to the building of these modules, each being between 1 and 3 feet long, and these will be combined to make a novel layout displaying differing ideas and skills.

Jim Smith-Wright's 'Plank' will be in attendance. This is a test piece to develop some of the techniques that he is using in his project to build a model of Birmingham New Street station in P4. See his

website for more information.

A very strong list of quality layouts, covering most of the popular gauges, has been invited and there is sure to be much to interest the enthusiast and casual observer alike. A novel feature of this show will be the regular ???short workshops??? where experienced modellers and traders will give short demonstrations on specific subjects and invite questions.

The policy of inviting selected specialist traders and avoid a line up of stands selling each other??™s products, will give the attending public a diverse and useful selection of quality products to view and purchase.

There will also be a strong complement of displays and demonstrations along with preservation society and specialist interest group stands.

The

'Shake-the-Box'layout, Walton will be there as well...

Hiya

 

A little edit, I wont be taking the plank to the show as I will be taking a section of the main layout as a work in progress demo instead.

 

Cheers
