Almost a year after the last live event, can we expect another or has this medium lost its impact/direability?

Hello there,

(From the N Gauge Forum in answer to a similar question.)

 

Now we are getting back to normal and attending shows again the need for Facebook Lives has diminished and TBH they require considerable effort and create a significant and sometimes stressful distraction from the 'proper' work.

Deciding the structure, preparing stills and video beforehand, playing-in clips and selecting camera feeds, monitoring sound levels etc, while presenting a coherent and structured narrative is tricky using domestic equipment.

We are always happy to chat to people at shows; indeed, this year we are 'hitting the road' more extensively than we ever have before.  As things return to normal, and having missed many shows over the last 2 years, we want to see as many people as we can.

We will be at the SEC in Glasgow later this month for Model Rail Scotland, then at the other end of the country we are the London Festival of Railway Modelling at Alexandra Palace.  This is the furthest south we have been (the previous record was Milton Keynes!) but that record won't last long as in April we are supporting the Heaton Lodge Junction Tour at the Bath Showground (actually near Shepton Mallet). 

Then after a couple of months off we are back on the road for DEMU Showcase at Sutton Coldfield.  This is usually the first weekend in June, but has been moved to July this year due to the extended bank holiday weekend marking the Platinum Jubilee.

Beyond that we'll be at TINGS, GETS and Warley.  This makes a total of seven shows we are attending, across the country, so we are hoping that at some point anyone who wants to can come and have a catch-up!

In terms of plans, we are expecting to offer one or two new projects at Model Rail Scotland, another at Alexandra Palace, and beyond that we will have a steady programme of developing existing and new items, and it is likely our new project proposals will be unveiled at or around shows.

cheers

Ben A.
