RMweb Gold Regularity Posted January 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2018 Is “Portway - 0 gauge” the same as Jordan’s Portway Centre? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Is “Portway - 0 gauge” the same as Jordan’s Portway Centre?Must be a typo. I'm taking "Lyddlow", which is O Scale, but British outline, & it might be the smallest layout there.

NickBrad Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hmmm, bit torn on this, one the one hand, the exhibition takes place on my birthday this year, but on the other, TVNAM was unique in that it catered to my North American leanings, from what I can see, there's only one US layout this year which I'm sorry to say is just too far for me to consider travelling for. I guess now I am on the lookout for a TVNAM alternative, if such a thing exists here in England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The other all American show that I'm aware of is the Seaboard Southern one, which I think happens around September. It was in Crawley (ie near Gatwick) when I went a couple of years back. Was a good show for layouts, but I wasn't paying attention to the traders so I don't know if they were any good.

dcg1756 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Showing details on the internet for 15 Sept in Crawley but as it's only end of Jan now does anybody know is this show a definite for this year? Would like to attend but need to book holiday ( shift worker ) and transport so earlier the better. Any details greatly appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickBrad Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Looks like I need a car of my own before September then, (just checked the trains and it's £89.50 return......) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 NMRA Calder Northern are listing a show on 1st April at the Heritage Centre Crewe, I have no connection other than a helper with a layout last year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickBrad Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Crewe is more reasonable by train at just £38.50 return, but being a sunday and Lincoln being a backwater really, I wouldn't arrive at Crewe until 4pm! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer, i've yet to get to this venue, i'm usually booked for somewhere else, again i'm booked to exhibit at York that weekend, maybe next year!!!!

DanielB Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Calder Northern is great, I've been an exhibitor there a couple of times, including last year. It's not purely American stuff though - last year there were.... two British micro layouts (and they were SUPERB!) - but it's definitely a US show, as it were.

Probably worth checking a little closer to the date, there are no advance fares available for weekends in May yet, let alone September! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbonnetuk Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Seaboard Southern is a definite for Sat 15th Sept 2018. We hope to have some further details on the website and RM Web re: layouts and traders in the next couple of weeks Cheers Dan Spalding Secretary (and Layout Scout), Seaboard Southern 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcg1756 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Thanks for the conformation about the show, have already booked travel ( it's a long way from the Highlands ) . Looking forward to details of layouts and to being there. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodshaw Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 NCAM do a yearly show at the village hall in Hampsthwaite near Harrogate on the first Sunday in July. I took my old layout Yorkford, PA there a few times and will most likely be taking my new TT layout, Naples Street, this year. It's a small show, just one day (tends to wrap up mid-afternoon) and it would be all the better for one or two more layouts and a bit more publicity. If anyone is interested I can put them in touch with one of the organisers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kieran Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It's a shame that we don't have meets like this in the United States. With more and more houses being built without basements, it's rare to see your classic model railroads. The modular groups that I see here are the "let's build a loop and run our trains round and round." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
