Flymo748 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The Scalefour Society is very pleased to announce that Advance Tickets are now on sale for Scaleforum 2014. http://www.scalefour.org/scaleforum/tickets Last year the show moved to its new venue at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium, allowing it to give more space and better facilities to host exhibits. This year the show promises even more attractions. These include two large layouts, amongst the biggest that are on show of their type. Calcutta Sidings is set in the Burton-on-Trent area in the early 1990s. The layout measures 52 feet long by 16 feet wide and is a must for those who like to watch varied trains passing including scale length High Speed Trains running at full speed. Another large model that is 60 feet long and very much the work of one person is Epsom and Epsom Town built by Bob Cummins. Set in 1928, the layout shows the colourful engines of the Southern Railway in the Surrey town of Epsom. To help visitors learn how they can enjoy building models like these, Scaleforum will also have demonstrators, showing everything from how to make a model kit to how to add the final details to bring it to life. And of course there will be the very best of the model trade at the show, so whether you want to buy something new to run on your layout or just a pot of paint, you can find what you want. Layouts, Demonstrators and Traders Layouts Calcutta Sidings Epsom and Epsom Town Knutsford East Llanastr Lower Exbury Lowburn Park Manston Brewery Ltd Midland Sidings Sandford and Banwell Axalp (P87) Demonstrators From prototype to model layout planning and construction based on an actual location - Risborough and District MRC Getting started in P4 - Andrew Ulyott Modelling the Diesel and electric era - David Furmage and Robert Austin Modelling complex trackwork - Howard Bolton Loco Construction - Steve Duckworth Plank in progress - Steve Howe The finishing touches – bringing your layout to life - Dave Hawkins Modelling mixed gauge Irish railways - John Crompton Soldering helpdesk - Ray Hodson Loco conversion and chassis problem solving helpdesk - Mike Ainsworth And of course a full line-up of all the finescale traders that you would expect from an event like Scaleforum.

clecklewyke Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 There will also be a feature on the Standard Gauge Workbench - a Scalefour Society initiative to encourage people to dip their toes into P4 modelling by building a simple layout of no more than 4 feet 8.5 inches on length. At least two projects based on this will be there together with a demo by me on the subject. More details of SGW projects and proposals can be found be found here. Do say hello!

Pebbles Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I do so hope that the Bring & Buy is better regulated than last year. I have been to many Society events where it appears that "Traders" have an arrangement whereby items they pick out are removed from the stand. At the one such event a K's GWR 04 was snatched from under my outstretch hand by an individual who asked for it to be placed with others items he had previously gleaned; I later saw this individual serving on a trade stand. I'm sure that those wishing to sell items are not overly concerned by who buy them, that said I would believe that Bring & Buy stands are part of the show's experience for ticket holders. I accept that this may prove to be a difficult to regulate but surely common sense could be exercised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Im with Enterprisingwestern.... stop going around corners so quick and buy a A4. UPDATE: Have booked the very last A4 in stock from Martin, so that's a reason to be at Scaleforum. If there really aren't going to be any more, I might ask Martin to autograph the inside/underside of the resin body as a sort of farewell memento. Are you happy now, Doug?.....Doug?
