Ravenser Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 There doesn't seem to be a topic for this year's Shenfield show - which is a pity , as it has a good reputation. Details from Mid Essex MRC's website , with a list of layouts and traders. Phoenix Precision are attending , as it's local to them http://offtherails.x10.mx/memrc/exhib.html#top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hello John, Richard and I will be there with Towcester so I look forward to meeting people there. Really good one day show with a very friendly group to host it. Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Colin Posted September 14, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 14, 2015 Agreed - have exhibited there in the past and can vouch for the show and the way it is run. Hope to be there perhaps helping JohnB for a while on his layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks for the reminder Colin!! Yes I will be there with Whitecross Street, a fictious London terminus with 3rd rail and 1965/75 EMUs and such things. For those who may be interested in such things, the control is DCC (NCE Powercab) but the points are analogue, using Tortoise motors and sub-minature switches Rmwebbers please come and have a chat.

Ravenser Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 A good show - no single big showstopper centrepiece, but some very good layouts. The selection of photos is OO-centric - sorry, but there was a strong OO showing, and the card in my camera is nearly full.... Belmont Road OO Towcester OO - very nice Cheerio Charlton - 7mm LT trams Large new layout under construction by ? Mid Essex club , presume OO Poulter Bank - shed layout Various other layouts should perhaps have been photographed - the big Canadian HO layout , and Fenwick TMD among them. (Daconby, the 3mm ER terminus missed out because I've taken it before at another show, and I don't usually rephotograph layouts) The Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltic Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I would like to thank all those whom exhibited and attended. There was a comment about there being no theme to our Exhibition this year. Not sure what is meant as we have never devised an Exhibition to a theme - we just try for a diverse range of layouts which might not appear at too many other local dates. Yes, in answer to RAVENSER - the large layout is by Mid Essex MRC. The name is Great Tey and takes elements from Marks Tey on the GE Mainline. SMP code 75 in use, yesterday we operated it in DCC mode. The final layout will have fully interlocked points and signals with control switchable between DC and DCC to cater for our Members. Much work still to progress, but it has come on leaps and bounds in the last year - even with Members working on other layouts at the same time. Planning underway for 16 September 2016, with hopefully several exhibitors known on RMWeb attending. There are also a few in the plan for 2017 & 2018.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted September 20, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi Ken Thank you and the team for organising another good show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Colin Posted September 20, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 20, 2015 Excellent show as usual, enjoyed every minute. Nice to have a catch-up with various RMWebbers too. And a big thanks to JohnB for letting me play trains for a while! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Only wished I could have been there! I grew up about a mile away from the venue (though went to St. Martins). The Rose used to do good lunches.... Thanks! Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted September 21, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 21, 2015 A great show, I was talking to a mid Essex member and he told me how much it cost to hire the venue, I'm not saying how much just in case its confidential but its a lot of money especially as its for only one day. The conversation then moved on to the not to far away Brentwood Centre and the hire charge for that, £4,500 per day! The GER Society although on the program was conspicuous by its absence, largely because it was going to occupy one half of the stage, I hope all is well with them.

johnb Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 An excellent show, I and my crew on Whitecross Street had very good day out, very well looked after by Ken and his gang too. Met up with a number of Rmwebbers and had some good chats with the visitors. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hello Thanks to Ken and the MRC guys for inviting us. John, Richard and I had a good day out with Towcester which a lot of people seemed to enjoy and it behaved itself. A good mix of layouts and trade and good to catch up with a lot of old friends. I did see in passing that the GER society had a stand in one of the smaller rooms but I don't know if any-one was on it. Look forward to next year when hopefully we shall be there with our new East Anglian layout 'Fenchurch St Peter. Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I enjoyed the show, helped run Tanners Hill and saw many friends and picked up a load of stuff from the traders. For the £5 entry a very good show, well done Ken. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltic Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 The GERS were there with a display stand, as planned. It was the EORVS & Holden F5 SLT whom had to drop-out. Hence why there was space on the Stage and we moved a layout into the Holden F5 SLT space in the Main Hall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
