RMweb Premium Legend Posted March 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hi Legend, the station buildings are based on Elderslie and are pretty accurate. The layout also has the two island platform arrangement of Elderslie but because of space restrictions there isn't enough room to show the junctions at either end. I saw the layout at Glasgow and was very impressed with the running and the stock, anything from G&SWR to BR Blue and operated at sensible speeds too. Yes I also saw it at Glasgow and was very impressed. It's kind of like a special memory for me. My parents used to take me out for walks on a Sunday afternoon and I do remember reaching the site of Elderslie station. I can remember seeing a train of Cartics and I thought a 37 . The station had gone by that time. Later in the early 70s there was a layout , I think maybe by Renfrewshire MRC in OO which showed Elderslie with it's junctions which is where my interest for further kindled. So it's nice to see it again in model form. The station buildings were lovely and I think overall captured the look of the place, without the junctions and marshalling yards. Lovely, look forward to seeing it again at Perth. Always a nice trip out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluff Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi Stan Meg has decided to rename her Canadian National N layout as St COMBS. I do whatever the wife says! Sorry for the inconvenience in having to change your layout list. I can confirm that, all being well, the usual tablet will be available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are both best to stick to what Meg says, especially if getting a delivery of tablet depends on it! Thanks for letting me know. The layout list will be updated shortly.

SEM63A Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Added to my diary too, attended last year for the first time and thought it was superb. Plus DJ models are revealing their n gauge class 17. It is confirmed that all being well, DJ Models will be revealing the Clayton Class 17. Also, Dave will be giving a lecture, one each day, on what goes into producing a new model. Subjects covered will include laser scanning the real thing. This is something completely different and well worth visiting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eddie reffin Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Really looking forward to the show Stan. Seeing Blair Atholl again will be worth the entrance fee alone. Will see the real location on the way down too! Cheers Eddie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley47708 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Ok with only 37 sleeps until the show I have updated the Original Post with the most up to date information on the exhibition. For those wanting to use the Park and Ride on Saturday, please see http://www.pkc.gov.uk/article/14972/Perth-Park-and-Ride-Broxden- If you are coming by train, the quickest way from the station is to exit the station up the ramp between Plt 4 and 7, at the top of the ramp turn left across the railway bridge, then left onto the white pedestrian bridge which takes you to the Dewar's Centre and swimming pool. Try not to get them mixed up, you will look silly at the exhibition in your swimming costume and rubber ring! It is left for the swimming pool and down the steps and right to the Dewar's Centre.

Never heard of this but made me look it up and I'll certainly be taking a close look. Looks an interesting product. One of my but bears is lumpy running n gauge steam engines, and a rolling road would really make it easier to find the root of such problems. The website appears to be only in German and without a button to switch to English that I can see but I'm sure I can get more details on the day.

By way of a preview, Lower Exbury by esteemed modeller Alison Barker. A Southern Region British Railways layout which features many scratch built stock and the owner herself!
