BigAndy Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The first show held in 2022 was brilliant with excellent layouts, this next show should be even better - you won't find a more pleasant place to hold a model railway exhibition than in Buxton's Pavillion Gardens. Looking forward to it. cheers Andy 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Line Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 In light of the recently announced strike action on Avanti main line services between London and Scotland we have made arrangements for any exhibitors affected by the Sunday 2nd July strike to stay over Sunday eve and return Monday am. Frankly this is an expense too far for events like us which will affect our finances going forwards and certainly won't get the rail workers striking any sympathy from those affected. Fortunately all local and cross country rail services remain unaffected at this time so visitors travelling to Buxton on the sat or sun should be ok. We hope those visitors coming from further afield that have booked train tickets and accommodation over the weekend can still attend and this doesn't detract from or greatly increase the cost of their visit to the town or our show. Safe journeys to you all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnham-on-sea Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Not long to go now. Track all cleaned and locos checked. Forecast good, should be lots of people about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Line Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) With less than a week to go now were readying the shows kit for an early start friday. We've not heard of any changes so were feeling confident that the content will be that listed above. Although we don't open until 9.30 am on Saturday we are going to start taking payments and wristbanding from 9.00am so those who've arrived early can then walk straight in as doors open at 9.30am, saving the long quee to pay we were delighted but mindful of last year. Same price etc it just speeds up getting you in and allows us to reduce the pressures upon the doorstaff on opening.

It has us as we had to get the best deal we could so booked the extra sunday nights as non refundable! Frustrating..but we carry on Just counting our accumulative £1 pound coin collection ready for the weekend. If anyone is paying by cash some change is always appreciated at ours or at any show.

Burnham-on-sea Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Unfortunately it's a showery day but forecast to dry up later. Hope it doesn't deter too many people from what looked to be an excellent array of layouts last evening. See you there, come and have a chat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Excellent show, felt like more N gauge than an N gauge show. Well worth a visit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly were several N gauge layouts but there was overall a very nice variety of scales, quite a something for (almost) everyone on that front. This is what, it's second year? And it's already excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted July 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2023 There may well have been a number of N gauge, but with EM, S, O, 009 and OO and an interesting array of traders and demonstrators the show is well worth a visit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what, it's second year? And it's already excellent. A nice big 7mm, quite a few 4mm, one 3mm and an 009, from my own perspective I only had eyes for Tuemill Junction, it helped to reaffirm my affection for my own N gauge layout. Malc's Models seemed to bring a proper train shop vibe with their stand, almost had me thinking about some 009 stuff. But on the other hand having boxes stacked like that I was half expecting to see something knocked over - there was a chap extracting a second hand loco from the bottom of one such stack. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT100 Diesels Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 A superb show, just full of quality. And all sorts of scales and gauges to boot. Unfortunately I was on a limited timescale on the Sunday so was not able to do proper justice to quite a few layouts, too busy talking to folk....! Spent a bit of time helping on the 3mm society stand in a very minor way and was delighted to see 3mm layout Delyn Y Coed a BR steam era branch terminus now in the custody of Dave Wheelton and Jim Barry. Dave and a friend was operating so a good catch up was had. Rather cheekily, some of my diesels had escaped my layout and come on holiday to Buxton, and Dave W is also a diesel modeller so they went on the layout. I left them to it so I could have a general look round the other layouts, a few hours later ready to go home, they were still the main traction on Delyn Y Coed, I assumed they would just be on for a "happy 15 minutes"!!! A few pics of Delyn Y Coed and the interlopers..... Still, we were all smiling, such good fun, and that is what it is all about really. A superb show, very much enjoyed, thanks to all the layout crews and modelling demonstrators, hopefully the traders did well and the show organisers made enough to secure the ongoing future of the show. Thanks again, Cheers TT100 Diesels 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crantock Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Confess I gave it a skip. A drive to Buxton (from Birmingham) only washes its face if you can go on to do something else - a walk in my case. Sadly rain and 40mph winds ruled that out. I would be interested in what the poor weather did for attendance. Last year was wonderful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sitting on the lorells etc so website updated and we will be revealing our 24 content in a few months with some great things in the pipeline.

Best to date after only two shows seems a bit of an iffy statement! But I don't want to take anything away from what was a very good show (and yes, better than last year and last year was good too). Definitely one of the most pleasant locations for a show as well. Edited July 21, 2023 by Reorte Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may take that to infer that 24 will be better than 23. As it will be! Cheers to all our supporters. Edited August 16, 2023 by Long Line 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
