RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted October 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2014 Looks to be a cracking good line up once again. Even if you are not an EM modeller, this show has got to be worth a visit, for the sheer quality of the layouts, demos and trade. Mind you, I am biased as I will be there with Leighton Buzzard of Buckingham fame. It is hoped that Stephen and Crispin Denny will come along as operators. Last time we had a get together it was LBs first outing since the MRJ show and we had great fun. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Vee Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 New year update on expoEM at Bracknell: As previously mentioned all the layouts (in fact with the exception of Leighton Buzzard) have won an expo Best LAyout award so to celebrate the EMGs 60th birthday it will be the best of the best. Not an easy task to decide on the Best Layout in show for sure. Those invited are: Alkham y the late Ian Hollis Clarendon by the Leamington club Prospect Wharf by Mik Bell Striven by the late Chris Matthewman Wibdenshaw by Kier Hardy West Cliff by Richard Butler Grayscroft Mine by Paul Gallon Rye Town by Stephen Hannington (won the "best of the Best at our 50th anniversary show) now owned by Chris Jackson Clatterford by the Barking club Hemyock by Chris Lamacraft and recognising its historical place in the history of EM, Rev Peter Dennings Leighton Buzzard I'll be booking demonstrations in the weeks ahead - so some RM Webbers can expect a call from me!!!!!

Gee Vee Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 I am delighted to ad Clarendon by the Leamington club and Foxup by the late Michael Hensbury to the line up I posted a while back. Just finalising demonstrations and lecture programme. Graeme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGC Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I have never managed to get to this show before but have put this years one in the diary. You won't regret going - a very informal but friendly atmosphere, no barriers so you can get close to the layouts and talk to the operators. It's one of the shows that I really don't like missing.

Gee Vee Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I missed a layout off the list - Foxup , built by Michael Hensbury and now in the safe hands of Philip McGovern and Mike Peascod - sorry chaps. In the process now of twisting some arms for lectures.......... One arm that didn't need any twisting at all was Roy Jackson's. Roy and his merry men have supported expoEM ever since the concept was conceived so I have invited Roy to provide a talk on progress with Retford - possibly the most ambitious privately owned EM layout that has been conceived in the history of EM modelling????

paulaspinell Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi Does anyone know what trade stands will be attending?, as this will be a deciding factor as to whether I go with a shopping list, the website does not list who is attending only layouts.

BRIDGEMAN Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Many thanks for the list of traders, there seems to be a problem with the EM web site. Does anyone have a list of the demonstration stands? Ray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted April 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14, 2015 Many thanks for the list of traders, there seems to be a problem with the EM web site. Does anyone have a list of the demonstration stands? Ray. The EMGS website is undergoing maintenance and I've had some problems logging on. Apparently due to problems migrating across servers, some data has been corrupted and needs to be sorted before the website can become fully functional again.

Jol Wilkinson Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The list of traders doesn't include London Road Models, but their website says they are attending. They will be. I believe it was a slip of the keyboard finger by Graeme. Jol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee Vee Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Public apology to John Redrup of London Road for unintentionally missing him off the list of traders. Sorry John..... Only a month to go now. I think traders have all got their final instructions. Will be getting the final info to demos and layouts within the next week or so. I'll post the list of demos and lecturers in the next few days..... Graeme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee Vee Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I have given up working out how to paste the list of demos and lecturers onto RM Web. But we have 3 lectures each day by: Ray Hodson - Resistence Soldering (entirely selfishly I need to start using my unit and need a refresher on how to use it!! Ray will also be doing a demo) Roy Jackson - Retford Update (previous post refers....) Karl Crowther - how to signal your layout (he is also doing a demo on signal construction - again selfishly I have some MSE products to build so expect to find me sitting with Karl for part of the weekend). Will advise the other demos over the weekend. Most are from the EMGS Area Group network. they are a key part of the Society that bring local members together to share knowledge, learn from each other and bring a social dimension to the hobby. I wanted to celebrate this as part of our 60th anniversary. That's it for now. Going o my workbench - am building a model of Marlow engine shed at the mo and glued the sides together earlier.
