Selkent Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 BEXLEYHEATH MODEL RAIL SHOW - Sunday 11th Dec This show was to be held in Welling, but quickly outgrew the venue so we have transferred it to its sister school in Central Bexleyheath in the London Borough of Bexley as now have 26 layouts attending and it is still held on the same day which is Sun 11th Dec from 10am to 4pm. Venue is 2 mins walk from the central bus terminus in Bexleyheath town centre. The venue is behind ASDA Bexleyheath BR is 10 min walk away and buses stop outside from Greenwich, Sidcup, Woolwich, Dartford, Bluewater, Bromley, Lewisham and Blackheath plus more places to list.. well basically it is a bus hub! There will be some special traders offers such as discounts on multi DVD buys from Heritage in Motion and a real show MUST HAVE or maybe not - a 00 sized Michael Portillo complete with bright coloured trousers, perfect for any layout UK or continental Europe, Mike pett has promised to bring lots of these on the day and bet he still runs out! so get there early. Show opens to public at 10am, but pre booked ticket holders get early access from 9.45am Bexleyheath Academy Graham Road Entrance Bexleyheath Kent DA6 7EG List of Traders Attending : : Kent Garden RailInvicta ModelsGB ModelsHeritage in Motion Train FilmsEnginess U Drive Piants & GluesPeter Hollands AllwheelsTim Horn Laser BaseboardsMike Pett FiguresRail Russia HolidaysAdrian Harrision KitsDC ShuttlesRoneo ModelsFalconwood Transport BooksSouthwark MRC Preloved StallFinescale Tooling SuppliesThe Wooden Toy ShopSedgeway Models Jack Chalky Weathered carriages Kit Krazy Model Ship Bexleyheath List of Layouts Attending NUMARK OO9 Gauge 7 X3 BATCOMBE 27 x 7 OO LOOK OUT MOUNTAIN BROADGATE 20ft 00HILLDALE 10 X 5 N gaugeENGINE HARDY 9 x 8 00 gaugeLOCO GRAVEYARD 10 x 4 00 GaugePOVOLOVA 6 x 4 HO Gauge RussianTRAIN TO PLANE 2 x 3 T GaugeWOLFDALE 15 x 3 00 GaugeSMALL & WORKING 12 x 6 N gaugeSt JOVELL 14 x 3 HO gaugeOAK LANE TMD 10 x 2 OO gaugeASHINGTON 16 x 3 00 GaugeOAKLAND 14 x 3 00 GaugeSAN MARIA GARDIA 009 MexicanKNUDDLESTIEN 4 x 5 N GaugeNEWBERY ROAD 12 x 4 oo gaugeSNOW IN THE GLEN Gauge 0 -16.5CRYSTAL PALACE HIGH 4ft x 3ft 00 gauge Demo MIDSUMMER END N gauge 6ft x 4ftRHEILFFORDGULNESAFIRHABWRYNYPENTREFGYDARENWHIRAFARMODELARDDANGOSFA 009 gauge 4ft x5ft(Narrow railway next to harbour in village with longest name for a exhibition model) PEEPER MILL Ho gauge American 5ft x 2ft List of Demonstrations : Figure Painting Display List of Other Displays :Orchard Junior Modelers ClubOO Gauge Association Stand and Test TrackThe London TheatreBasildon MRC member Static lorry Display2 x Train SimuatorsSelkent Module Building Club disabled access, cafe Discounted tickets can be bought online at www.thelondontheatre.com Tickets £6 (£4.95 pre booked) £5 (£3.95 pre booked) and Family £15 (£12 pre booked) www.selkentmodelrailwayclub.weebly.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hmmm, less than a 10 min walk. Will have to check this out. Got space for a 20' by 2' 6" HO Canadian Freemo/layout? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted September 7, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 7, 2016 I've messaged you about another exhibit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Appears to have moved to Bexleyheath. If you are planning on going, take public transport. Bexleyheath traffic on a weekend in December doesn't bear thinking about. 10 min queue to get in and out of the Asda parking lot is common on a Sunday. Right before Christmas it will be a nightmare.

As an exhibitor I have to go by car. At least I should be arriving there about 8 am. I will be travelling via Watling Street from the Dartford crossing do you have any suggestions as to the best access route? On the A to Z it appears that I can go direct via Broadway or via the A207 Albion Road and cut back at the roundabout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the A to Z it appears that I can go direct via Broadway or via the A207 Albion Road and cut back at the roundabout. You are best off using the A2, Black Prince and the A220 to Broadway. Crawling through Dartford & Crayford on the A207 is painful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkent Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hmmm, less than a 10 min walk. Will have to check this out. Got space for a 20' by 2' 6" HO Canadian Freemo/layout? tempting but don't have any space that large left. First to call if we have 2 layouts drop out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderdrinker Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Glad to see a 009 layout is attending, not seen Numark before. I know the question was sort of answered above, but I am Crayford based and my son goes to Bexleyheath Academy and have a 3ft x 4ft narrow gauge fully scenic layout and hope to exhibit it for first time, if a layout does cancel and you only have a small space to replace, happy to attend with it. Dorset village scene called Buckton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkent Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Just updated the first post on here with the exhibitors and traders attending, two extra traders to add, who just have to confirm their booking. We now also have Southwark Model Railway club bringing part of Crystal Palace High as a modelling demo, and they will be building part of the main structure over the course of the day, while you watch and ask questions. The section will have a working turntable and work will be done on the roof glazing of this amazing exhibition model. Also put a call out to anyone who wants to try and exhibit for the first time and we have PEPPERMILL by Rhod Holloway, who will be bringing this stunning American layout for the first exhibition he has ever done, and hopefully get him on the exhibition circuit. Also here is one for any 009 fans, RHEILFFORDGULNESAFIRHABWRYNYPENTREFGYDARENWHIRAFARMODELARDDANGOSFA (Narrow railway next to harbour in village with longest name for a exhibition model) will be handing over the operating of the layout, some sidings and shuttle work plus a loop to anyone who wants to come and bring their 009 loco and running stock for 30 min sessions, means we get to see lots of movement and types on the layout. Also if you want to have your stock running on the layout, you of course get free entry as you will be classed as a exhibitor. If interested, leave us a message on here and what stock you would like to bring and roughly what time to intend to arrive. You must confirm before the day so we can get your armband for the free tea and coffee etc in the exhibitors area. Remember also Mike Pett will be carrying extra supplies of the 00 gauge Michael Portillo figure in a range of coloured trousers, a must of any layout! The offical opening time is 10am, however pre ticket holders get access from 9.45am, not expecting them all to arrive at once but 92 tickets already pre sold and only just stared to put the banners & posters up and leaflets through letter boxes around Bexleyheath and Welling. We had two big halls and one smaller room but now redesigned the exhibition with the two big halls only and created a better show goer experience by increasing the gangways by 2ft to from 8ft to 10ft between facing layouts, so better flow and less crowding around exhibits. Remember also The 00 gauge Assc will have a running test track, so any locos bought at the exhibition (I think they will allow HO) can be tested. Also you can join them on the day and get all the benefits of their members. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkent Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 We have just lost Snow in the Glen due to the owner having an NHS appointment bought forward - get well soon. So we have space for a layout up to 10ft ( I know it is short notice, but anyone want to exhibit next Sunday, contact us on 07946 904208 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrydenford Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 At the exhibition today, a nice lady from Wales, who had never operated a layout before kindly stood next to the layout and told people how to say RHEILFFORDGULNESAFIRHABWRYNYPENTREFGYDARENWHIRAFARMODELARDDANGOSF and she even ended up being left alone operating it and had a great time, think we have another convert to the hobby!
