RMweb Premium Dominion Posted April 27 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27 I went to the show this morning. It seemed well attended. There were lots of layouts running and traders displaying their items. There were also some interesting demonstration stands. I particularly enjoyed talking with the team on the Rapido UK stand. Thank you to the Platelayers for organizing the show again and to all the exhibitors and stall owners for setting it all up. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AY Mod Posted April 29 Moderators Share Posted April 29 There's some very decent looking layouts there. I am musing about the potential use for ice hockey screens in an exhibition environment. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davknigh Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Just a couple more for now Crowsnest Tramway originally by Roy Link Mine own work More to come later. I was not able to get around to all layouts as I was flying solo most of the time and in some cases the lighting was terrible (no fault of the layout owners I should say) Cheers, David 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hall was nowhere near that empty when I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davknigh Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 The final pair, Trix Twin, a fine collection of vintage stock Shining Station, TTTE themed gauge 1 put together by a marvelously enthusiastic group of young people. They started with bare boards! Cheers, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
