And I've felt good for a week but still testing positive......grrrrr! Dave 12 minutes ago, PaulRhB said: I tested positive right up to the middle of the tenth day but was clear on the eleventh when I had to test when work asked me for urgent cover. Yep, it's a weird one: I tested positive in total for about ten days too, even though most symptoms had disappeared after a week. But I guess the test is just showing that you have antibodies in your system and I'd expect them to hang around for a while - in fact, I'd hope they would, to make sure the virus doesn't start up again... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 18, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2023 Dapol are retooling their N scale 66 apparently. No Rails of Sheffield or the N Gauge Society here though which is surprising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Line Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 We've had our bottled water nicked from under the stand overnight Friday. Charming! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted March 18, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2023 As nice the show is, both from layouts and traders point of view, the lack of seating areas or chairs at this exhibition is awful. It wasn't like that last year or before the pandemic. I don't know what's in the mind of the organizers. The average model railway enthusiast is 50 plus. Not sure if I will return next year. vecchio, rather grumpy... 2 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Cheaper to take your own and a can of pop !! The foods UK, but London prices. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just by our stand in the West Hall was a door to the bar and there were comfy sofas and lots of tables and chairs! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted March 18, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2023 I am sorry guys, I was exactly there, people, me included, were sitting on the floor. Last year a lot of additional seating area was near the entrance. When has this photo been taken? 16:00? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleander Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 went to the show today. Big improvment over last year. No gaps and they put more in to the show this year. Great to see so many traders and layouts. The smaller hall was full this year. I got the impression there was less specialist trader in the small hall than in previous years. Over all great show and glad I went. Great they keept the free parking. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium CF MRC Posted March 18, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) It’s not always possible to get everything right in a show, but clearly the seats did arrive. Our apologies if they weren’t there early enough. Tim Edited March 18, 2023 by CF MRC 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2023 A great selection of layouts for me. Star of the show for me by the narrowest of margins was this, Loads of trains and superb modelling and presentation 6 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted March 18, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Paul, sometimes I feel I am old enough to be grumpy.... Lets forget that, you were right, the Austrian layout looked great. Especially the viaduct. But there was some great narrow gauge stuff as well... Just a small selection.
