valleymodeller Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Brian, valleymodeller will be operating "Notts Landing" Just thought I'd mention that it's Knotts Landing, with a K, but as it's silent I understand! About as silent as the Cardiff City stadium yesterday! I wouldn't want anyone to get the impression that it's a layout based in Nottinghamshire, so anyone exiting to see a scale model of Toton depot would be disappointing. And although i will be helping with it it\s not my layout as you know. And I have an important appointment with Cardiff City in the afternoon. Hope all is going well. See you on the 21st.

br2975 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Many thanks, Brian. I shall try the walking route if the weather is kind. I used to know my way around pretty well but almost none of the buildings you mention (except the road bridge!) were there when I lived in Cardiff, and worked from a base in Canton for several summers as a student. It is bad enough in the areas around what used to be the public library and Queen Street - and then the yuppie area to the east of General Station! Bring back the single decker trolleybuses, I say! Jonathan The streets are the same Jon, even if the buildings have changed. If the weather holds (it is January after all ), it is a pleasant walk. .

br2975 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Here's hoping there's some traffic on hand at Rosamund Street this Saturday, else it'll be "job and finish" for the crew of 4176 and boredom for the punters ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danemouth Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If you are a very good boy I will bring my Pannier (8732) with an SWD sound chip so that you can see a proper loco rather than all these diseasels on your railway. :yes: Regards, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 British Rail regrets to announce that the passenger service to Newquay which passes Trevanna clay works will be suspended on 21st January 2017. This is due to no spare DMU being available to cover for a failed unit... Replacement road transport will be provided. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!

Rivercider Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I don't think I will get there this year due to family commitments, a shame as I enjoyed my visit to this friendly little show last year, I hope this year goes well for you again, cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Well the layout is away and I'm just enjoying a post show curry! Thanks to the organisers for the invite, I enjoyed myself once again. Thanks also to the behind the scenes crew who kept us fed and watered! The layout performed fine apart from some spots that my 08 catches with it's crank pins but that's easily sorted and it was a shame i couldn't provide a passenger service owing to a failed unit, nice to meet some new RMwebbers as well. Thanks to Barry and Brian R for the prezzies! Some quickly grabbed pics to follow. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted January 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks to all involved in the show. A most enjoyable day. Good to meet some people who have just been avatars and "names". An excellent selection of layouts, all with friendly operators. Thanks for the travel info. Very useful. And to whoever arranged the weather, ensuring a most enjoyable walk through Sophia Gardens and Pontcanna Fields. Well worth the trip.

chrisf Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I made the journey from Bedford and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Just one measure of its success is the numbers through the door - 250+. I also enjoyed meeting lots of people and learning from the demonstrators. Well done, all concerned! Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tim Hall Posted January 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2017 Yes, good to see various forum members there. Enjoyed the layouts. Plenty of ideas for scenic stuff in particular. Good to see trains actually running continuously on virtually all layouts. Some operators of bigger layouts at bigger exhibitions would do well to learn from that....

Wayne 37901 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 As promised here are some pics from the show which I managed to grab before it was time for lights out. First up is Sheep Lane by Mr Gunsmoke, very nice to see this at last. I was hoping to meet the famous Norman but he must have been chasing Molly in the cafe again! Next is Brian Rolley's Rosamund Street, another layout I was looking forward to seeing. Wales, Rain and Steel by Marc Smith. Apologies for the quallity, the camera isn't too good in dark light. On to Moose Creek by Brian Tucker. Having seen this on here I was looking forward to this, I've seen layouts with snow in the past and it just looked wrong but I think Brian has nailed it. This is Penny Lane by Baz Jones' son I think? A work in progress but showing some good promise. And finally my layout trevanna Dries (originally built by Dave Tailby and refurbished/re-wired by Nick Goward both of DEMU). This one is for Marc Smith and shows the 08 at work which is a recent acquisition for the Trevanna fleet. Here it is returning to St Blazey with a couple of Clayhoods in tow. Another highlight was getting to chat to Hywel Thomas about his work on Morfa Bank. If you've never seen his work have a look here http://www.emgauge70s.co.uk/. Apologies if I missed grabbing a shot of your layout but I only managed a quick point and shoot before packing up. I thouroughly enjoyed the day and spent as much time talking as operating but all part of the fun of course. Here's to next time!

HGT1972 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 After completing my first exhibition in demonstration mode, a quick note to say thanks to the Rolleys for making it all seem so easy! And to Mr and Mrs L&B for the food and drink! An enjoyable, if tiring, day and I have to say my voice was suffering by 4.30. Great to meet everyone from both near and far, exhibitors and visitors, and thanks to everyone who stopped by my table for a chat. Cheers!
