woodenhead Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Spectacular. You should hold a masterclass in how to prepare for such events. I would but then next year I wouldn't get exhibits to myself where I can waft my SLR zoom lens around. All joking aside, I am looking forward to tomorrow, it will be busy, but the alternative would be the end of Warley. It's a special event that always serves up treats so it's worth the bit of buffeting and the angst of a lot of people in very close proximity. edit, thought of a strapline "Warley - Disneyworld for model rail enthusiasts" Edited November 24, 2017 by woodenhead 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 The hair, don't forget the hair. It should be shaggy and unkempt with remnants of last night's pizza... I feel I must protest. That is blatant discrimination against those of us that don't have hair. Or pizza. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I believe it’s quite form to snap away without ever checking with owners and that the best pictures result when you’ve shooed an enthusiastic child out of shot!

RMweb Premium Chris116 Posted November 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2017 I am on the 08:03 out of Euston and the 18:20 from Birmingham International back to Euston tomorrow and I am looking forward to the day. Yes, it will be crowded and there will be a few who appear to be allergic to soap but it will still be a good day. I look forward to meeting other members of RMweb during the day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold pirouets Posted November 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2017 To Warley or not to Warley, that is the question. Well, it all depends on whether one can get ones lazy backside out of bed for the drive at 7:30. Having flicked through the layout list and images it looks appealing but I am out all day Sunday as well with my other addiction (Golf) I know, its a tough life.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2017 I wish anyone that is going to this show a lovely day/weekend. I would rather not be there, having been a few times many years ago with the late Geoff Brewin before he took on Comet Models. The place has too many memories of the wrong sort. However, not going to Warley is like making love to a beautiful partner, comfortable, quite quiet, doesn't take all day (well not these days) and is normally very satisfying. It also costs less as in my case I paid 7/6d in 1968 for my 'beautiful partner', I don't get tempted to drink loads of gas filled beer and scoff greasy snap whilst I am doing it, and I also don't have to pretend I've not got anything stuffed down my trousers to get into the house. Good evening, A. Bloke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Post 280 - is that a model of Captain Kernow in the last picture? It's a clone - the real Captain Kernow is over at Wheels Park watching the sausage racing. Or that's what he hopes it is..............................

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2017 I’m 15 miles away from Warley, and my hotel for the night, bailed out of the horrendous traffic and gone for dinner and to plan my sortie around the hall.

Well at least if you do attend (as Mark Twain may have said) if you have good walk around the Hall on Saturday this won't be spoilt as much as it may be on Sunday if you're playing golf? Only kidding....have a great weekend either way... Regards Bob Edited November 24, 2017 by BobM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Can’t make my mind up on whether to go. Bit jet lagged and the whole escapade will cost me £54 inc fuel , entry and parking.....see if I get up and feel like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Is it just me or has Twelve Trees Junction been extended slightly? I don't recall seeing those houses on the far right at GETS a few years ago, but perhaps I was too busy watching the sound fitted Pacifics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Safely camped at the Crowne plaza, off to the bar, if you see a fat bloke with a pint in one hand and red, yellow, green marker pens highlighting his map in the other with iPad with RMWeb open..that would be me.

Dave Goddard Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I will not be making any plans, just turn up at any time I want to during the morning, go in and look at as many layouts as possible, keep out of the way of anyone with cameras, and just generally have a day alone away from my work. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Parker Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Since people are worried about food prices, I snapped a few hopefully helpful guide prices: These were from the in-hall food stands with easily visible signs. There are plenty of others with fronts shuttered on Friday night, but you get the idea. Robert was also putting out more than 2 real trains worth of seating for those who want to bring their own, or just need to rest legs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
