RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted October 7, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2022 The SWAG Members day for 2023 is scheduled for Sunday 23rd April 2023. When 10AM- 4PM , Sunday 23rd April 2023. Where Staplegrove Village Hall, 214 Staplegrove Road, Taunton. TA2 6AL Serious stuff. ************PLEASE NOTE*********** IF TRAVELLING BY CAR, THERE IS LIMITED PARKING AT THE HALL ITSELF. THE VENUE SITS WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL AREA SO PLEASE PARK WITH DUE CONSIDERATION TO LOCAL RESIDENTS.. Fun stuff. Layouts Yelverton - Alex { Wiggoforgold} brings us his delightful rendition of Yelverton, as running in the summer of 1958. His scratchbuilt buildings, faithful to prototype are a joy to behold in their own right. { 4mm 00 gauge } Trowland- Rob { Rob R } Rob now has custody of Trevor Nunn's East Anglian masterpiece. Constructed in S scale, one could almost say that this is a pre-pre-grouping layout. A small corner of the North Norfolk coast from 19th Century....... { 1/64 scale } William Smiths Wharf-Jerry { Queensquare } Champion of all things 2mm F/S, Jerry brings Williams Smith's Wharf to SWAG and will be demonstrating just how practical a proposition modelling in 2mm finescale really is. { 2mm F/S } The Hollow. Stu. { Stubby 47 } Stu's latest 009 adventure. A small narrow gauge roundy roundy showcasing Stu's undoubted abilities as a builder of fine buildings. Have a good look and take the opportunity to chat to Stu about any bespoke or adapted kit built buildings he could provide you with for your own projects. ...............{4mm 009 } St. Martin-sur-Or- { 10800 } Rod produces his French odyssey based on a disused ex-Midi secondary line in South West France. Features overhead Catenary, mechanical signals and more than a few croissant crumbs. { 3.5 mm HO } Shwt-John. { Johndc120 } A study in end of line dereliction beautifully presented in EM gauge. Expect real flavour of a 1960s line just clinging on...... { 4mm EM Gauge } Fryers Lane -Mark. { Mark Forrest } Arising from the ashes of the Scalefour Society's Standard Gauge Workbench initiative and now much expanded, this layout will showcase Sectorised British Rail in the relatively recent past. Positively Modern Image ! { 4mm 00 gauge } Llandafal- George Haylock has popped up at a couple of shows in South Wales last year and has kindly accepted an invite to bring his take on a GWR BLT, Cameostyle. If you thought you didn't have room for a BLT, think again. It's George's first layout by the way..........{ 4mm 00 gauge } East Lynn Quay- Maurice Hopper brings along another of Trevor Nunn's S Scale masterpieces in the form of his 2004 addendum to his lovely East Lynn layout. Demos. Some nice types have "volunteered " to share their methods and will be awaiting your questions on the day............. Chris { Gilbert } will be showing us a few bits and bobs. A bit of weathering and some alternative methods of coupling will be to the fore. Lurking in the background will be his East Anglian Cameo layout, Lockdown Drove as an added bonus. Jamie { Southern Region Steam } will be along offering advice on photography. In addition, if you have a particular favourite loco, building or item of rolling stock, Jamie will be happy to photograph them on the day. Martyn { Mullie } will be have the latest addition to his East Anglian odyssey, Upbech Quay on hand and will also be available to discuss how he achieves the beautifully subdued colours on his layouts. Bring and Buy Closer to the day we will be inviting anyone who has surplus items to put them into the established Bring and Buy Bazaar. A proportion of the proceeds from each sale will go to the Charity of choice. Please start looking on those shelves and in those cabinets for anything you'd like to move on. Elements from our Specialist Retail Team will be on hand to assist you in finding those tricky to get goodies. Catering Of course SWAG wouldn't be SWAG without the promise of Pasties and Cakes and rest assured these will be readily available on the day courtesy of the highly skilled crack catering department. As ever, all proceeds raised will go to our charity of choice. Trader support. Please give some thought to anything you might want to be able to pick up from the traders on the day. Contact them prior to and arrange to collect on the day. Lord and Butler. Peter will be along with a selection of items from the shop. 247 Developments. Brian is a long time supporter of the event and will have his usual selection of hard to find detailing parts and etched products. Mudmagnet Models. Richard bring his ever expanding range of 3D printed items for that extra detailing of our layouts. How........................... much ?!!!!!!! FREE. Yes, really. This is still a free to enter members day. However, there are running costs associated with the event which are getting increasingly challenging to meet. To help with this, there'll be suitably labelled receptacles dotted about the hall. PLEASE donate a few coins into these at your discretion, you'll be helping to ensure we can do this again in 2024. Therefore............ oh....and Naughty step. Normally fully occupied by the day of the event but consideration will be given to suitable late contenders. Loud shirts Encouraged. Possible Picasso award on the day for best effort. ( Good opportunity for new comers as Neil { Black Rat } has once again bizarrely chosen to go to the Canary Islands instead of attending SWAG ) I thank you and look forward to meeting you all.

RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted October 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2022 Super excited for what is set to be yet another eye-wateringly good SWAG event! Can't believe it's been half a year since the last one... On 07/10/2022 at 15:25, NHY 581 said: Jamie { Southern Region Steam } will be along doing Jamie stuff. An accurate description, and about as specific as can be - for even I have no idea what I'll bring to demo yet... though it'll have to be simple (like a small hut or something) if there is to be any hope of me making visible progress - happy to take suggestions if there's something people would like me to tackle! Could even be something photographic/computer based... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gedward Posted October 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2022 I'm really looking forward to my first SWAG. And getting to meet some of you from this parish. I'll be showing the diorama I'm currently working on. As a WIP or finished we hope. Will be showing the methods, techniques and materials used in the making. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wondered how long it was going to be before we heard about the Patiala State Monorail Trainway ... . Anyway, I could imagine that some people familiar with the PSMT might regard the sort of trains we see in our part of the the world as weird. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
