The Basingstoke and North Hampshire Model Railway Society is 40 years young this year and the proverbial “cutting of the cake” is to take place during our annual Open Day on 22nd September 2012. The Open Day offers an opportunity for visitors to enjoy – and possibly operate – club and member’s layouts in an informal atmosphere.... together with the opportunity to see progress on the new 4mm and 7mm layouts. In recognition of this being the 40th Anniversary the Basingstoke Society is extending the Open Day with the addition of a Swap Meet.
As in past years the Open Day is to be held in the Club Hut and the adjacent Scout Hut whilst the Swap Meet is to be held in the Kempshott Village Hall, post code for the Scout Hut / Club Hut is RG22 5HN. All of these buildings are situated in Stratton Park off Pack Lane, Basingstoke - the village hall is about 400 yards from the Club Hut, plenty of free parking at the Club Hut and at the village hall.
The Open Day runs from 10.00am until 4.00pm (Swap Meet finishes at 3.00pm), admission is £1.00 per adult. For further information please see http://www.bnhmrs.hampshire.org.uk/ .
[information added 13th September]
Just over one week until our Open Day on 22nd September. The Swap Meet looks like these eight or nine traders... most are from the Hampshire / Berkshire / London areas:-
Neil Cresswell;
A&B Models;
Ron Lines;
Brian's Trains;
Ian the Book (I joke not... that is how he is known);
Terry Robinson;
Clive Lewis;
Neville's Restorations.
plus a private individual who wishes to sell his collection of die-cast buses.
Most of the traders are primarily 4mm with a mix of RTR and kits. Ian-the-Book has promised publications which are that little bit different. Neville's Restorations, to quote from his hand-out:-
"Corgi Dinky Matchbox
Transform Models
From old to new"
The Club layouts will include the current 4mm Lulworth and SE28 exhibition layouts plus several layouts under construction:-
* N-gauge (which needs a name);
* Round South, 4mm South London circa 1970-80;
* 7mm (which needs a name);
* Nine Yards, a member's 4mm layout;
* Scruft's Junction, a member's 7mm layout.
Maybe we need a "Name that Layout" competition?
Still got to work on "The Cake".... I went to the supermarket to see about the "We print your birthday cake" with a copy of our club logo. Guess the response... "Oh no, we cannot do that without an indemnity against copyright infringement". Speechless!!!!!!!!!!!! The Club logo has been in use for 40 years and none of the current members can recall who drew the logo in the first place. So back to Plan A and a pesky tank engine.
regards, Graham

Robertsbridge Model Railway Show 24-25 May 2025
By clogger,
Good little show. Bit biased though as I’m exhibiting at the show and have done so for a couple of years now.

The National Festival of Railway Modelling @ NEC
By 7013,
Considering this is the first show by BRM I thought they did a reall good job.
Quibbles: I know you have to rent the floorspace by the square metere, but it got a bit crowded at times between stalls/layouts.
Positives: Lots of good trade support, some superb layouts, and very helpful friendly staff.
Warley was always going to be a hard act to follow, and the organisers did well.
I can see this growing in the future

Tyneside Model Railway Exhibition
By jacko,
Drove down from Lanark early on Saturday morning (6 hour round trip!) to arrive shortly after 10am. The first surprise was seeing my cousin showing his O gauge layout in the foyer (shown as east Glasson port authority on the programme but it wasn't that). Nice to have a chat with him as we've not met for a couple of years. Moving on to the main halls, there seemed to be plenty of space for viewing, helped no doubt by my being there so early. I'd driven down especially to see Grantham, Pelaw and Fencehouses having seen them in the mags and I wasn't disappointed so spent at least an hour swapping between the three. All three layouts exceeded expectations but it was also great to see Richmond in the flesh, it having only just appeared in print last month. I saw Alston in Glasgow in February and there's been no drop in quality. However, my favourite (and I'm probably biased as I'm modelling the s&c) was Kirtley Bridge - what a superb layout, the quality of modelling and the atmosphere was outstanding. I think I spent around 3 hours at the show and was absolutely wrecked by the time I got home but it was well worth it. I'll be watching out for next year's dates to make sure they're kept clear.
