dave_long Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks to all that have posted photos as I usually go but couldn't this year as I became a Dad for the first time a week before DEMU and therefore couldn't get to go, looks like a really good show this year. Getting better every year too by the looks of things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc smith Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I can only echo what everyone else has said DEMU was simply fab! It was my first time at the showcase, and I'm definately going back next year - if other shows were only half this good, they'd all be worth attending! Thanks to all those who dropped by the layout for a chat. My throat is still sore from all the talking, but theres no better conversation than trains + model trains! Well done to Pete + the other organisers Cheers all Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portchullin Tatty Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 ........................, patience and understanding! Pete And you yours, I am not sure I admitted that it was one of my transformers deciding to meltdown that tripped the electrics at 3.59pm on Sunday - sorry! Imagine what would have happened to my layout and others had that happened at 9:59am on Saturday........................phew! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted June 15, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 15, 2010 Really like the look of the Scale 7 layout (Little Severn wharf?) Does anyone know if it has been published or are there any other photos of it?... TIA Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I read elsewhere that painted versions of the Farish Mk1s were on show. Did anyone get any pics? Only the one despite there being several liveries and variants. Click to enlarge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine MC Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Click to enlarge. Will it go up to 7mm scale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Will it go up to 7mm scale Yeah, but the sides go all flat and the ends don't look right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
10800 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Only the one despite there being several liveries and variants. Don't know if it's just the light, but the livery colour rendition looks pretty good to me compared with recent 4mm offerings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine what would have happened to my layout and others had that happened at 9:59am on Saturday........................phew! That explains the slightly premature power loss we had on Harton Gill just as I was about to run the blue electric and some wagons onto a cassette for ease of removal. It's difficult to get the electric locos off from under the overhead wiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted June 16, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 16, 2010 We had a great time on Diesels in the Duchy. Thanks to the organisers for sorting everything out so well, particularly the cracking Sunday lunch - I didn't have tea when i got home! Lots of RMweb folk came to talk to us through the weekend and the response to Damian's layout was great. Amazing the distance some people travelled, and how many remember the real st Blazey. It's only our 2nd show with the layout and we're still learning its ropes but it's turned out to be a very interesting layout to operate. Smashing, carry on! PS who ordered the rain for 3.30pm onwards on the Sunday?? PPS I did wonder why the power suddenly died just before 4! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Davison Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 To answer a question posted by Diflock in this thread yesterday, there are some photos of "Bee Lane" at DEMU Showcase (and other layouts) posted by Steve Boley on his website. http://www.stroleycentral.co.uk/layoutsbeelane.htm Hopefully these give you a feel for what you missed. We had a great weekend exhibiting and operating Bee Lane and would like to thank Pete and all the other organisers for providing such a good setting and friendly show.

Plumloco Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Only the one despite there being several liveries and variants. Click to enlarge. Many thanks Andy for the usual superb pic. They look very good. If the SR versions are reasonably accurate colourwise, I'm going to have to sort out a long-term payment plan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete I think we had one move to complete on Bawdsey when the power died, just to get the last of the banana vans into the fiddleyard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to get the electric locos off from under the overhead wiring. Sorry Robert, I can imagine that is a bind......... On a more serious note, this is the second Gaugemaster transformer that I have melted in about 2 years. I appreciate that they are on for the whole day without respite, but they shouldn't go like that in my view. Has anybody else had a similar experience?

Jon020 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I understand that Shawplan had more on offer at the show - did anyone catch sight of these? I realise that it possibly just more bits, to some, but I've just seen the class 55 bits mentioned in Rail Express! Must phone Brian! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - lots and and lots and lots of new bits and work in progress to show - works plates, sand box fillers bogie details , wipers- too much to recall - If you give him a call im sure you wont be dissapointed! tfn Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that it possibly just more bits, to some, but I've just seen the class 55 bits mentioned in Rail Express! Must phone Brian! The "Extreme Etchings" range has indeed expanded into the Deltic details and kits and these were indeed for sale at DEMU Showcase. There are other detail parts both for sale now and in work for other classes of loco so expect to see The Extreme Etchings range continue to grow. "Laserglaze" is another range that is expanding and the Class 08 prototype glazing was on show and looks superb. Another range which greatly enhances the look of the loco. Watch out for other interesting developments within the Shawplan range of products by the time the exhibition season starts again or via the ads in Rail Express Modeller etc If you call Brian I am sure he can sort out whatever you need.

Jon020 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Jon and Pete, The 55 bits have been a long time coming. Brian did say that he was getting other bits finished first, but was kind enough to let me have one of his earlier spare 55 etch sheets a few months ago (splendid chap) and this was put to good use... and this seriously whetted the appetite. I'll drop him a line and give him a call. Some more 55 work ahead me thinks ! The bits always did look good - although replacing the roof grills may be a little ambitious for my novice standing. Thanks... both! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod5 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Great pic's i'm looking to build an album of my Layout 'Diesels in the Duchy@ any chance of 'borrowing some of your pics? I cannot believe you have just copied 53 pictures into this post just to ask the above. This has taken an absolute age to down load and there is no need whatsoever for it. This was subject to a thread recently when we had cause to remove posts that contained quotes including video and pictures taking up time and space for people viewing threads. See here.
