RMweb Gold Manxcat Posted April 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2016 Seriously looking forward to exhibiting my own layout, Fairhaven Road, at this year's show. This will be its third outing, the first being Model Rail Scotland and the second Bonnybridge. It will be under my club's banner (Glasgow & West of Scotland MRC). If you are attending the show then watch for the lit and operational semaphore signals. Just one repair to undertake before the show. A mouse got into our garage where the layout is housed and got onto the layout surface. It could see what I can only surmise it thought was something to eat but what was in fact the base of the harbour under the "water". So it chose five separate areas to scrabble away the water gel and investigate the base. Made one heck of a mess but fairly easily repairable I think. There may be traps down for the few days before the setting up! Look for the separate thread for the layout here on RM Web. It is entirely DCC controlled. Otherwise, here's a couple of photos to whet your appetite. Both by Nigel Burkin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEM63A Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Exclusively revealed here on this forum! Our 12":foot exhibit this year ( a first for us) and situated in the middle of the ice rink as a focal point will be a Scammell Scarab unit in British railways livery. Photo will appear here soon. It will be interesting to see how it looks in the hall and what our visitors think of it. We were also offered a locomotive - maybe another year! May be tricky getting a loco into the hall afterall.... Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEM63A Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 This is the Scammell Scarab unit that will be seen at our exhibition. It has been restored to a very high standard indeed. We are looking forward to seeing it in the flesh... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley47708 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Yes only 21 sleeps to go. Been a bit quiet recently on RMWEB whilst waiting for the internet to be reconnected, am now live again. As always am looking forward to it, am hoping to persuade all 18 Drax biomass wagons to make an appearance and even hoping that they will go round the layout without too many derailments!

SEM63A Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The layout has been checked over today and is ready to accept the biomass train if it appears! I confess that a green Sulzer Type 2 diesel was used to test all the track sections today but will look forward to seeing the modern stuff running at the exhibition.
