Bluebell Model Railway Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Sadly won't be attending as trains are not running and due to bad weather I imagine the ferry probably won't be either.. Unfortunately wasn't aware of this exhibition till this afternoon. Edited January 24 by Bluebell Model Railway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do live on the Island. You commented about the weather. The fact that Sunday is the day you want to go is the limiting factor but still possible. A friend from Lake will pick me up and we will join with the others at Whippingham. Were I not going with others I could get a bus to East Cowes or Fishbourne and take it from there or take my own car and probably find others to share the cost. Taking Ferries does add to the cost and journey time but that is a fact of life on the Island. Don 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's fog which I see its a possible on the weekend Red Funnel won't run. So only way for me is Ryde-PH and unfortunately no trains so doesn't really work, unfortunately ferries are the death of the island, was supposed to be taking my business to an exhibition but again fog cancelled that so yep I'll be moving this year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't notice any, I would have thought if there had been any, the traders would have highlighted them. The most recent release I saw were GF Class 158's of which I was sorely tempted by the GWR one but just managed to resist!!!

Didn’t notice any either, but I was sorely tempted by the EFE Southern Booster, in BR Blue, but then thought “how can I remotely justify it on a DR branch line”….🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn 12 hours ago, mullie said: Well worth the trip from darkest Dorset despite SWR's best efforts to thwart me. Martyn I had a hell of a job getting a return ticket from Bournemouth with around 20 people queueing at the ticket offices and the only vacant ticket machine not accepting any letters after h when I tried to enter Southampton Airport Parkway. It is amazing how many stations start with 'South' . My return journey was chaotic following the announcement of a broken rail near Brockenhurst. My picture shows trying to get two train loads of passengers into a 50 seater coach with two queues of people either side of the coach's entrance. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Brasher Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Despite Bournemouth Station's efforts to prevent me getting a ticket I did manage to catch the Cross Country train to Southampton Airport Parkway Station and this connected with the excellent free classic bus service to the exhibition. This went on to Eastleigh station and took those passengers to the exhibition. The driver recorded the number of passengers so it may have been better to catch a later bus to avoid a queue at the exhibition entrance. Looking at the passengers you can see that we fulfil the image of retired men wearing anoraks and carrying backpacks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted January 28 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28 (edited) The queue out of the door on the Saturday morning had to be seen to be believed!! Initially it seemed the Dart was doing the Airport Parkway runs and this beauty: ...was doing the Eastleigh end. The queue also had the additional entertainment of the utter wally in the car park reversing without looking where he was going and nearly smashing into a taxi!!!

Robin Brasher Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The queue had probably died down a bit by the time I arrived at 10:46 and I thought the people collecting the money were very efficient. Model railway shows seem to have stopped issuing discounts for senior citizens a few years ago as most visitors fall into that category. I went straight to the canteen after arriving and I thought the food was very good and the whole exhibition was very well organised. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
