PeteScR Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 DEMU Showcase 2010 12th and 13th June 2010. For up to date information please refer to the website http://www.demu.org.uk/showcase.htm We are adding layouts societies and traders over the next few weeks so keep watching! Note for 2010: The date has been moved one week from our traditional slot due to uncertainties in the area over the British Grand Prix. Prices have been held at 2008 levels yet again, but..... for 2010 DEMU MEMBERS GET FREE ADMISSION !!!! We had great feedback last year following our move to Bretby and hope 2010 can at least match that success All enquiries regarding the event should be directed to showase@demu.org.uk Pete Degnan DEMU Showcase Exhibition Manager showcase@demu.org.uk Just to remind you that the DEMU Showcase 2010 website has been updated with the latest line up for the event. We have added more layouts, demos and society guests. There are still some more updates to come regarding layouts and traders and we will post these when confirmed.

PeteScR Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 With just over 7 weeks to go until DEMU Showcase, its time for an update. Check out our website http://www.demu.org.uk/showcase.htm as there have been some changes to the layout line up over the past few months for various reasons, but we still have a first class line up of British D&E layouts for our visitors to enjoy. Included in the revised layout line up will be a 22ft section of Jim Smith-Wright's "Birmingham New Street". This will take the form of a demonstration of how far the project has come and given the interest that Jim's layout has generated on RMWeb we hope you can manage to come along and see it at first hand. As in past years we will be having our friends from Dapol, Hornby and Bachmann at the show to meet with modellers and discuss their future plans etc. You may recall last year that Hornby chose DEMU Showcase to launch their DVT. This year (so far) we have been informed by Dapol that they have two pieces of news, possibly three to reveal at Showcase. We have extended the range of demos this year and we will also have a good spread of societies represented. The DEMU Zone is back of course so if you ever wanted to chat about the society, forum, area groups, merchandise or other membership benefits this is a great opportunity. The sale of the societies publication "Update" will again be on offer. Last but not least, entry to the show is free to all current DEMU members ON PRESENTATION OF A VALID MEMBERSHIP CARD! If you join DEMU at the show, you can have your Adult entry fee refunded on the day. If you have any questions you can contact us on showcase@demu.org.uk Cheers Pete Degnan DEMU Showcase Exhibition Manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted May 23, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2010 I shall be there helping to operate Harton Gill. There is the risk of a few steam locos appearing on the layout. [tongue in cheek] Steam locos?....<Sharp intake of breath>... not sure we can allow that..... [/tongue in cheek] but I am looking forward to seeing all those lovely electric locos again Andi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteScR Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 I shall be there helping to operate Harton Gill. There is the risk of a few steam locos appearing on the layout. Absolutely no problem with that, just so long as the layout runs post 1955 and there is some diesel/electric traction on it too Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portchullin Tatty Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'll be there, along with an array of burbling Sulzers................ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcwp Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Absolutely no problem with that, just so long as the layout runs post 1955 and there is some diesel/electric traction on it too Pete It's certainly post-1955. Graham has been threatening to lay some third rail into the station. He has a model of one of the NER electrics that worked on the quayside line. Steam, diesel and electric appear side-by-side. The layout's looking a bit crowded in this view, with BR and industrial diesel, BR and NCB steam and one of the two NCB electrics: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Craig Watson Posted June 4, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 4, 2010 Following confirmation that I can get the day off work I'll once again be making the journey down from Central Scotland for the show, leaving at around 5am again I make this my 5th visit, got the train down for the first couple but have driven down the last 2 years which gives more freedom to have a look around not worrying when you have to leave to get the train back Looking forward to it immensely as usual, especially about getting to see P4 New Street in the flesh!

D9JEF Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Really looking forward to this show. I will be helping to operate Allan Cromarty's excellent Oulton TMD. Cracking layout with lots of DCC sound loco's from the early 90's. If you haven't seen it before there are a couple of sneak previews in the Youtube clips below: Experiment running light engine: Crazy trains at the end of the Leamington show!! Derek from Footplate (Kidderminster) is the operator who struggled with his driving! Hope to see you at the show Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Hilton Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm going on Saturday - and will probably join up to DEMU on the day if it's possible? Is it worth me bringing any stock down? Anyone on here happy to run it? Some of my OO stuff is 'finished' but not DCC (except my sound 37/4 Caerphilly Castle) - my P4 stuff is still a work in progress, I don't think the Pacer will be finished and the Sentinel is awaiting painting.
