Jenny Emily Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Both layouts I’m bringing are loaded and in the hastily borrowed van. I’m aiming to be there for 8am then a mad dash to set up two layouts. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold john new Posted February 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2023 Hopefully, picking up the grandsons later and bringing them along. Missed it last year, despite having a ticket, due to the foul weather on the Sunday. The glorious Saturday I’d spent in a Board meeting in Derby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted February 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Made it today in the end, job was cancelled but got a phone call at 02:30 asking me to do a job from toton so managed to get back to my car and head to donny as planned got there for 09:10 only to be greeted by the pre payed queue snaking round the carpark, thought I’d be there for a while but the doors opened at 09:30 and i was inside by 09:38 had a quick scooch round, first stop @charliepetty for one of his returns 144 units (just missed out in the only ATW one he had on the stall by a minute!) then a look round the stalls, anoraks anonymous was almost like the old ‘Bachmann scrum’ given their keenly priced locos, could have bought loads there had I had more money to burn! a brief look at the layouts before it got too busy, I was on my way home by 11:00, would have stayed a lot longer but I had to get home to buy a new washing machine! Quick chat with @ELTELand @mark axlecounter sorry I didn’t spot you @mozzer models had my blinkers on! despite the brief visit it was a positive experience, well organised from the parking to the entrance arrangements and plenty of room inside although the back wall (hereford model centre side) did get quite deep with people at one point but nothing uncomfortable Edited February 11, 2023 by big jim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6990WitherslackHall Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I've just been today and I thought it was a good show this year. Saw all the layouts and brought a few things from traders that were there. Overlord was pretty impressive. A few photos: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted February 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2023 Best view at the show? Spent loads of holidays at Harlyn Bay over the years. Love this spin on a real location 😁 Got to say I spent most of the day chatting. So good to catch up with the BRM gang and those I bumped into unexpectedly. Had a thoroughly great day. All the better for by being so unexpected 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranksLad Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Great layouts and trade support. Had a full day and really enjoyed it. Very odd that hardly any locomotive / rolling stock manufacturers were in attendance though. Only KR models from memory. No Bachmann, Hornby, Dapol, Heljan, Accurascale, Cavalex. What’s the story there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed it but why do people have to invade your space I really think more people need specs 🤓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the story there? We ‘Planet Industrials’ are here too, but yes, other than KR I’ve not seen any others. It has been a really busy day, with lots of interest in Victory, our kit range as well as the layouts I’m exhibiting. Good to meet so many faces today, hope to meet some more of you tomorrow! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m afraid congestion goes with the territory,like it or not.And without the big hitters ? Well maybe all the better for smaller outfits to show their products. I had a productive conversation with the two gents marketing the rather refined Kerr Stuart industrial 0-6-0 so no problem there. It occupied me happily from 10:30 until 14:30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
