Southernfrance Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Sensible decision, shame about the late notice from the venue though. See you next year! Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Due to Covid and last years double booking this will be the first Railex since 2019 and we were keen to make sure Railex happened this year, we had the floor plan done in the original hall space and final letters were just about to send out final detail packs when we had the news last Thursday, to say it was a problem a few weeks before the show would be a understatement! We spent last Saturday measuring out the floor and working out how we can put the show on, but we think in a few days have managed to do the best we can and still have a fantastic show with only two layouts less than we originally planned. 4 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the bright side, at least you weren't offered the swimming pool! That really would send you off the deep end. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the weekend I'm sure the traders tills float will be positive with the organising club's finances being buoyant when all is totted up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 On 20/04/2023 at 10:29, David Bigcheeseplant said: Regrettably it has not been possible to include everybody and we have had to withdraw invitations to Beijiao by Paul Stapleton and James Street by Steve Wright. We are grateful to both for their understanding in this unfortunate situation forced on us by circumstances beyond our control. Both layouts have been invited to attend in 2024. Speaking as the owner of BEIJIAO, I am honoured it has been mentioned in the same breath James Street which I consider to be the best N gauge layout I've ever seen in well over 50 years of attending exhibitions. I am looking forward to seeing it in 2024. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 With only a few weeks to this years show, we are sorting out the final details. The café will be available for Railex visitors in the main stadium, plus there is an outside seating area directly outside our hall. We have had to squeeze the gangways down to 7 feet so the show may not feel as spacious as in previous years but we still think we have got a great show on offer. We will post up our vintage bus timetable as soon as we know the train times which is dependent on the FA cup play offs. We have some new traders on board this year, including Squires, WWW scenics, Premo, Prickley Pear, Stoneybridge Models, Brushes 4 Models, Dingo & Servo Mounts 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see from the Chiltern railways website that services via Amersham are limited to one per hour in order to provide more capacity to Wembley.

One of our party is currently in hospital so it may only be 2! He will, however, be phoning a shopping list to me so at least 2 traders will be pleased.
