Waverley47708 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 14 sleeps to the big day. Almond Bridge has been getting a bit of attention over the last few weeks, mostly on the unseen but rather important wiring side of things under the boards. However the owners of the garage have rather inconsiderably erected security fencing between the garage and the tracks, as a result a favourite spot for OO gauge spotters has been somewhat obscured! Almond Bridge which can be run 80s to modern image, will be appearing in the most up to date guise at the show. Expect a lot of freight in amongst the passenger stock and a fair amount of P Way, most courtesy of our very own Emeritus Guard Mitchell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley47708 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Not so good, however Emeritus ScotRail Guard Mitchell called me last night to confirm he will be working that weekend and was away to sort through his stock for the big weekend.

Norm81 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Just a reminder: The exhibition venue is "next door" to the railway station. Also park and ride is available at Broxden http://www.pkc.gov.uk/article/4556/Perth-Park-and-Ride-Broxden If I can't get parked at the venue or railway station and end up doing this, will it be the "Leonard Street, for Bus and Railway Station" stop we need to get off at? Planning on coming on the Sunday, really looking forward to it but also a bit worried. We'll have the little man with us (3 months old) so either have to take turns carrying him or risk pushing him round in the carrycot+base and getting in people's way. Don't want to annoy the other visitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to annoy the other visitors. HI norm, Depending on what time you arrive and the weather... It makes a big difference to getting parked - either at the venue or next door or at the station. As regards the child situation.... Bring the carrycot and base. If people are too ignorant to accept that it's the way you need to do things - it's their problem - not yours. It's a public exhibition - not a private show for invited guests. So - hopefully you will attend and have a good time - without many difficulties.

The drivers will probably let you know where to get off. We are able to look after any child transporatation equipment for you if you want to leave it at the entrance if that helps. We hope you enjoy your visit. Regards, Stan (Exhibition Manager) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEM63A Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 That's the display cases filled! One contains a collection of LNER trains as would be seen in Scotland including meat and fish trains. The other a mixture of model railways from A4s to modern civil engineering equipment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
