RMweb Premium Barry O Posted November 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 6, 2023 We had a quick operator update on Wentworth Junction last week. Lots of additional scenery and structural work has/is taking place and some minor electrical changes to the fiddle yard control panel speeded up the operation. Looking forward to the show.

You’d better speak nicely to Steve Watson as he’s the man ‘behind’ the layout, both literally and metaphorically speaking! ( and he’s into his 80’s but better not mention that!) The layout is very labour intensive, the catenary wires need soldering across the baseboard joints and the vehicles need servicing regularly as the tyres become brittle and loose their grip.

I shall try and speak to him this weekend, it just depends how busy we are on the trade stand 🙂🙂🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Is there any food available on site ? Or should I bring a hamper in a huge rucksack! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not allowed to provide food ourselves anymore but the centre does have its own small cafe on site.They obviously do teas coffees buns/cakes etc and I believe they are having sandwiches as well. You still need the big rucksack as there are plenty of quality traders there! Robert 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveyDee68 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Looking forward to visiting this show with my best mate, who I messaged a week ago about it and has been “scratching the itch” all week in anticipation! Brought over some of my OO stuff for him to take a look at and his mind has been blown at what is now available (like me, a child of the 70s with his experience of OO finishing with the advent of Mainline and Lima!)

SteveyDee68 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Great show, not overly busy* so was easily able to have a good chat with layout operators, trade suppliers and demonstrators alike. We were both particularly taken aback by Shirebrook - neither of us are really interested in N gauge, but that layout seriously swayed us both! Great scenics, fantastic near faultless running and a real sense of ‘standing by the trackside” 👍 The Yorkshire Coast Electric Tramway was enjoyable to watch and fascinating - the interaction between trams and road vehicles was clever, and the whole thing rather spectacular to see. Very glad to have seen it before it is retired, and only sorry my late father never got to see it - as a lifelong tram enthusiast, he would have absolutely loved it especially with the power to the trams being via the overhead wires. My mate used to teach at the secondary school associated with the leisure centre; he said the centre had improved since when he had last visited with a nice cafe and much nicer toilet facilities than before! (Not to mention that the school itself has now been demolished and re-sited on the other side of the centre!) Hoping to pay a return visit to next year’s exhibition. Steve S * Hopefully enough patrons to make it worthwhile for the traders to attend - there were plenty of them, too, with some bargains to be had! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
