Chris M Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 18 hours ago, John of York61 said: Thanks, I have emailed Peter Howells who is here this weekend (as usual!) to ask if you can bring a Warley club layout next year...with a van with barriers .....a year to arrange it (fingers crossed) I would offer my layout (Dawlish Warren) as a Warley related layout, it has actually travelled in a Luton van with the Warley barriers before. It has to be said that a van full of barriers is a very heavy load. I'm not saying the van was tightly packed but my layout couldn't move as it was jammed in with barriers all round it. Unfortunately Easter just isn't a possibility; its important family time for me. Pretty much the whole family except me has birthdays over the period that Easter can happen. Dawlish Warren has never ventured further north than Stafford so a trip further north would have been good but never mind. I've done a fair few exhibitions in the Midlands and the South and Dawlish Warren probably won't go out very often in future. Statfold Barn in less than a couple of weeks time is the only outing this year for me. And I'm still just about young enough to hire a van! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr.king Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) A very enjoyable Sunday at the show. Many thanks and full marks to Fred Ellis for the cake, which has earned my wife's personal "thumbs up"! I was rather surprised to find no sign of any Peco / Ratio / Wills products for sale on the Railway Modeller stand. I'm sure that at least some of them have been on offer in previous years. Plenty of Ratio stuff displayed on the Squires stand though, in multiples, with almost the sole exception of the item I wanted. Remarkable, but all to the benefit of my local model shop which will no doubt oblige. Edited April 2 by gr.king minor correction 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 2 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2 On behalf of the Deadmans Lane crew - a big thank you to all that stopped by to watch and comment. Also a big thank you to the team at York MRS for the organisation - even though we did have to buy a couple of duvets........ 😃 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh! Really? Even if there wasn't a Layout based in 1985 or 1885 or whatever it was, you saw nowt that was interesting? What the ### have people go to do to make you smile? Anyway, thanks for the comments and especially the great photo's. Absolutely amazing Mr. Ididn'tseeaBulleidPacificbutIdon'tcare. My favourite layout of the show (other than the one I was there with 😁 ) was one that is not in a scale I'm interested in, not a time period I have any interest in and not a location I have any interest in but I think it, Sherton Abbas, is absolutely stunning. 5 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Churchill and Taw Valley. I hope you realised I was being rude about a naysayer and my Spams comment was a joke? Thus you told me about the Lego Layout, that nobody else has mentioned? If not, do search for the comment I was annoyed about about 10 pages back. It just seemed so narrow minded and mentioned nothing else at all, after all your hard work. When I used to help Geoff Brewin at the show, it was easily the best I ever managed to get to. From the majority of posts here, it is living up to that and more.

hmrspaul Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 13 hours ago, OOgaugeJaf said: South Pelaw and Grantham the highlight of the show for me. I have attended York for over 20 years. Always loved the specialist traders. Always great for grabbing those bits and pieces. Sadly we are loosing many of the specialists and some great traders such as Tower Models. Some of the replacements are poor to be fair. expensive secondhand tat. Overall though a great show, see you 2025 The lack of Tower was very noticeable. Hardly any 7mm models on sale anywhere. OK, some nicely priced large Heljan locos but that is a very specialist market - as anyone with a more normal power supply will find they don't work.

jwealleans Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Well done for capturing the simultaneous 1888/1938 Flying Scotsman departure. We've filmed it, but I'm not sure anyone has caught it at a show before (or if they did, they didn't share). The guest appearance by the P1 is also a good catch, I think it only ran round twice and was only with us on Saturday.

Racecourse? P Yes, we looked at hiring those orange plastic things which adorn road works. Leeds and Normanton clubs were the nearest that were quick to arrange. The great thing about the Warley club barriers is that they'll take them away at the end. Colin and I (plus Liz Marsden) took them back to Leeds and Grimethorpe today.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 2 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2 It was a good show, well what I saw of it between operating Victoria. I managed to bash my big toe on a chair leg I found while making my way to the loo in the dark in the hotel room. Bang me 'ead on something helping the Grantham crew pack up said layout. Trip over slightly raised paving stone returning to the hotel from the venue. The most spectacular was falling over @Bungus the Fogeyman's tool box and nearly stage diving from the first floor into the operating well of Grantham on the ground floor below. 2 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
