devonseasider Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'll be there, God willing, with Tormouth Quay - as featured in Model Rail #246, April 2018. Come along & say "hello". If you want to play trains for a little while you're very welcome. If you want to join "the team" for future exhibitions you'll be even more welcome! photo courtesy Chris Nevard / Model Rail 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad-1 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 You will also have the opportunity to shunt on my HS2. A well executed simple 2 point DCC & Kadee shunting puzzle. One end where some rubbish is being burnt, we hope no sparks get into the gunpowder van before the end of July !! Why HS2 ? - HS1 turned out to suit left-handed drivers and I'm right-handed 'nuff said ! Dad-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonseasider Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 At this rate it's going to be a bit like an old school reunion! Anyone else popping up out of the woodwork? You did not say you was going do you want a hand ? Steve - you're going to end up spending the day on the naughty step if you carry on like that . . . .

rocketron55 Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Shillingsford will be making a appearance here, once all the point rodding repairs are complete. Should be a very good show! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad-1 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Lane End a compact 009 layout is enough to tempt others to make up an interesting scenic layout in a small space. All being well there should be 4 x 009 layouts to see. Dad-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad-1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Currently working in the sunshine cleaning tracks and checking electrics - A month to go, but at the speed I work that's imminent !! Photo's in the sun are so much better, wish I'd bothered to add the 5 trees that live on this board. The loco ? somewhere up on the embankment. This is Wales 'N' layouts coming :- Bincombe Cutting Longmoor We'll be adding the listings of all later. Dad-1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad-1 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Back to realizing just how much work can be involved in running a larger layout at an exhibition. It's freight ..... HOW many wagons ? Currently sorted out 164 that are going, and hankering after at least another 20 !! Currently stacked in the shed :- Now to find and box all the buildings and nit-knacks, animals, builders merchants stock and ............. Just as well I still have 2 weeks !!

devonseasider Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'm booked in with Tormouth Quay - see photo earlier in thread, also Model Rail #246, April 2018. I had 3 co-operators lined up but almost unbelievably I've lost all 3, each for very different reasons, within the last 24 hours. If you're going to the show & would like to play for a while, please make yourself known - don't be shy! Better still, send me a pm before the event so I know you're coming.

Dad-1 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Ouch devonseasider, That's not what you want ! Most of the Bridport club members have jobs to do, but we should be able to find someone to help for a while ............ How easy is it to set-up ? When were you coming to set-up ? Friday evening, or Saturday morning ?? Dad-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonseasider Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 How easy is it to set-up ? When were you coming to set-up ? Friday evening, or Saturday morning ?? I'll set up Friday. May need a hand to lift everything out of the car but otherwise not too difficult a job (as long as there's a fridge nearby - my body thermostat doesn't seem to work properly these days!) If you find a little pool of water on the floor that'll be me. Hi Graham, Very sorry to hear this. I am not able to make this show I'm afraid, but I wish you the best of luck with finding some help. I hope the new car's OK this time! All the best, Dave Cheers, Dave. New donkey seems to like its carrots so far. Fingers crossed. See you the following Saturday, all being well. Your turn to buy the bacon butties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
