Sounds like it won't be long now. Thanks Paul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class26 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 That was my understanding. My question was - will the 24`s get pushed back into the New Year and the answer from SLW was "yes, that`s likely". I did read it that it wasn`t to be too far into the NY though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted September 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2023 One bother is that it’s a strike weekend.So best to check if considering a rail journey.Though Road access is not difficult 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I was wondering if they might announce Class 25/0s or 25/1s bearing in mind its meant to be a special event. But with the other 25s so close, they could really do with getting those sent out before announcing more unless they're in the same container(s) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they only opened up about the /3 because Heljan announced theirs and Bachmann had been working on theirs for a few years. I guess we'll know more next weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could reserve a space to have a day out, meet the very small team who bring the best UK outline RTR to the market and see some nice layouts featuring said products in action. And maybe support SLW by reserving a future release or 2. I'm doing a 400 mile round trip, and I'll have a visit to Crewe Heritage Centre whilst I'm there 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well believe it or not,there is still life to be found to the north of Milton Keynes. In any case ,as I understand it,this occasion isn’t meant to be completely sales dedicated,though if on offer,then gratefully received. For me it’ll be a civilised way of spending a Sunday afternoon in the company of like minded people viewing some great modelling populated with state of the art models.l look forward to it. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 55020 Posted September 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2023 It's great to see something being staged further North, but sadly I won't be making the 750 mile round trip. Steve 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 97406 Posted September 26, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 26, 2023 It’s convenient for me as it sits just over half way between Notts and then ancestral home in Manc where I’m dealing with elderly parent stuff so dropping by first thing Satdeh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 And for those crossing the Pennines to Sulzerfest, it’s the same weekend as the excellent Wakefield MRS exhibition (which where I’m exhibiting so unable to get to Crewe). why not do both 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted September 29, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2023 Had a lovely day today at Bentley Legends. Every model was special in its own way, however a couple of highlights. Chester breakdown crane and train, and in the next post............ 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 96701 Posted September 29, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2023 I've ordered D5195, a "regression" rat. Built in Darlington, operated in Liverpool and Preston Divisions which where I started my railway career (after a year in Horwich Training School). It is the second from the bottom in the snap below. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR traction instructor Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Great to have the time to engage with those who visited today, the limited numbers of guests ensuring that there was a much greater opportunity. Funny how working harder with a more limited team produces even greater satisfaction. Looking forward to two more days of similar industry....
