After setting up last night I got home and felt unwell, so did a covid test only to find out I have a positive result so I won’t be doing a demo this weekend. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharris Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Expecting a nice pleasant walk from the station. Didn’t expect to need my crampons! That’s quite a climb coming out of town! Might need a bit of a sit-down when I get there! 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great atmosphere at the show today - busy enough to feel really enthused, quiet enough for those catch-ups with friends that you haven't seen for far too long. And some excellent layouts and traders, of course! Here's to an equally good Sunday at Cressex...

RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted September 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2022 Super show today, easily worth my hour's drive over and well done to all the exhibitors and organisers. Every layout is well worth extended viewing - the standards of workmanship consistently exceptional - a pity I had other commitments this afternoon and had to leave after only two hours. "Bankside" was particularly interesting for me; as I mentioned to the operators, my office virtually overlooks the site! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinW Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Well done to the organizing team. It was worth my journey from Kent to visit the show, and whilst not really looking to buy anything, managed to find some items I have been after for a long time. The catering was very good as well.

We had a few people with stories and memories of the area. Lots of favorable comments too which is very encouraging. It is a really nice venue and the catering is excellent. I am looking forward to a successful second day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that. Pretty much all of the Bristol group have had to drop out too as a result of getting COVID from a curry night nearly two weeks ago. Pretty annoying having bought advanced tickets! Get well soon. Mark 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Having been away from the modelling bench for a few months (had to put things aside for a while in the run-up to getting married!) it was great to get back into the swing of things by seeing some excellent modelling. However, not sure what the sign on the right was trying to say about the girth of modellers! 🤣 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I went on Saturday and enjoyed it immensely. I think the new exhibition team did really well for their first time, the best Scaleforum since Leatherhead, the best by far. Well done to them. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 It was my first time as a trader can I pas a big thanks to the organisers for making me feel very welcome. And as a bonus I managed to get a bargain off the bring and buy to boot. Marc 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar conversation with them, as my 10th floor office is but a stone's throw away. Looking through their books of reference pics has prompted me to have a proper 'eyes open' mooch around lunchbreak the next time I'm in the office. I had a fun weekend driving Ravenscroft Sidings and catching up with friends :) 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted September 26, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 26, 2022 Fortunately thanks to Brinkly's excellent navigating on his phone taking us around secondary roads and backstreets, we were only delayed by about half an hour.

Disgusting of Market Harborough There was a photographer from the Society taking pictures and video throughout the Saturday and Sunday. Once they are downloaded, sorted and shared, I will happily post some up here. In due course there will be a proper Retrospective as well, such as the ones that can be found at the Scalefour Society website here.

Lacathedrale Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Can anyone remind me who the club selling s/h stock by the door of the upstairs room was? I would like to get in contact if possible. I took a few photos, here are some: Faringdon United Mills, my unexpected favourite Scenery demonstration stand For me, a wonderful show - probably the best I've been to so far. I've personally found myself a little cold on huge layouts but there was something for everyone's taste. I came back with a Judith Edge kit, a good book and some s/h goodies.

Ruston Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Did anyone take a look at Prickley Pear Products' stand? Did he have the GNoSR 0-4-0 kit available? The reason I ask is that I couldn't get to the exhibition, don't have any contact details and he doesn't have a website. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike morley Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I'm after the same kit. He's cautiously optimistic for it being available by next year's Scaleforum but not 100% certain. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul is very much at the small end of the small suppliers, yet I'm sure that he'd be happy to have a chat with you. I saw some of his current range of products at the show, and they are very nice indeed. best wishes, Paul WIllis Scalefour Society Publicity 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
