RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted February 11, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just a few days to go and preparations are well in hand for this years show. for those thinking of attending here are a few comments from last year. “I thought it was a really good show and would recommend it for next year” “This is in danger of becoming a finescale show!” “Thanks to every-one at East Beds Club for a really good show as usual”. “Can I second George's comments, it's a show well worth a visit. Tim and I had a thoroughly good day with Drewry and nice to meet some new people. It's a show we'd be happy to go back to” More top quality layouts are booked for this year, pop along and see us.

MiDAS Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just a quick pic of another one not been seen away from its home layout. 5518 done up like a dogs dinner for the 1969 Derby Day Royal Train. It was rebuilt from a toffee apple to a full blown 31 including later head code boxes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted February 13, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2015 Set up going well and the layouts so far look pretty damn good to me. (Mannin Middle certainly had my attention when loading out the barriers). Look forward to seeing regular and new faces in the morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted February 14, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2015 A long way from Stafford, but a most enjoyable couple of hours with a number of layouts I had not seen before. Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2015 Another very good show by the Biggleswade club as usual. We enjoyed ourselves. The opening time of 10.30 am also helped us to get set up a little more leisurely than many shows especially after an hour and a halfs drive. Spent a bit with traders aswell.

Bungus the Fogeyman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Agree with Roundhouses comments- another good show from a small society that punches way above its weight and puts some larger clubs to shame. A big well done to Dick and his merry men for another very pleasurable day. Was good to see the Mudmagnet family - indeed had lunch with the charming Mrs Mudmagnet and Mudnagnet minor on a somewhat seasick table! Well done to all cncerned.

RMweb Premium polybear Posted February 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2015 A nice show - many thanks. Spent a few minutes trying to guess the insurance value of all the stock on Hobbs Warren Second thoughts ......it'd better be It must've been a good layout - the OH said " I like this one" and then spent quite a while watching it, which is unlike her.... polybear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted February 15, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2015 It looks like it falls to me to say a huge thanks for everyone who attended yesterday as either an exhibitor or a visitor. Some more faces to forum names, Mudmagnet, itsme, 31A and others, pleasure to meet you all and we all hope everyone had an enjoyable day. The overwhelming theme from visitors exiting was that they thought the layouts were of an extremely high standard both operationally and visually, which is a credit to their owners and operators and which for us is what it's all about. Plans are already in hand for next year so "watch this space" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy L S Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Decided to skip Milton Keynes show this year as the selection of N layouts looked very limited. In the afternoon following a fruitless trawl of DIY stores for some bits we needed for the house my wife suggested we head for Biggleswade as she knew I has mentioned I would like to go. I have to say I am glad I went, it was a very good show, by the time I got there not too crowded. there were some really nice layouts. In N I liked Dydley Junction which packed so much operational interest into a very small footprint. Nicely modelled and ran well. Banbury always inspires no matter how many times I see it. I was fascinated by the 1:48 scale model of "Boot" the old Ravenglass and Eskdale station. It is a place that has long intrigued me, pictures being very elusive and to see it so beautifully modelled was a treat (and it ran as well as it looked). Plenty of other nice layouts too. Well done to East Beds MRS.. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
