SDJR7F88 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) 8th - 9th June 2019 saw a busy weekend for my WW1 Trench Railway - Amiens 1918 at the East Anglia Model Railway Exhibition in Kettering. The show marked the layout's second furthest outing to date, and it certainly didn't disappoint! So what is it like to display a layout at a Model Railway Exhibition? In this video I take you on a trip behind the scenes, too is what it's like to display a Layout at a Model Railway Exhibition, including showing set-up before the show, accommodation and take-down at the end of the weekend. Hope you enjoy! Edited June 11, 2019 by SDJR7F88 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exmoordave Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi Callum Enjoyed the video, but just one small correction! EXMOOR RAIL isn't on the 2nd weekend in August - it's on the first! The date is SATURDAY 3RD AUGUST. The West Somerset Railway also has its own Steam Fayre on the same weekend, so a lot to see and do in West Somerset on the first weekend in August!

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted August 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2019 Morning Callum. Yes, It can be a bit tricky as a solo exhibitor. It struck me yesterday that I should knock up a small 'back in five minutes' sign to hang on Mutton if I nipped away. Rob 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDJR7F88 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 A video documenting the build of the GRAMODELS Char 2C - French Super Heavy Tank in 1/76 Scale. Developed during 1917, the Char 2C was and still is the largest operational tank ever made. This behemoth weighed 69 Tons, measured over 10.27 meters long and had a crew of 12! However, though developed during the height of WW1 the tanks didn't enter service until 1921. I've come to develop quite an interest in the design and the history of the prototype, and when I came across a kit in 1/76 from GRAMODELS, I just had to purchase one. Though the Tank didn't enter service until 1921, I've created the model with the intention of it being a "What if?" for my many WW1 projects. In this video, we take a look at the construction of the kit from start to finish, as well as explore a bit of history about the prototype. Hope you enjoy!
