RMweb Gold C126 Posted February 2 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2 Looking forward to this, the first exhibition of the year for me. Hope 'Kevin the Kite' and his chums are in attendance in the area again. Fingers crossed against rail strikes... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModRXsouth Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) I am thinking of attending RISEX on Saturday. First time to this show but looking into the travel time and costs by car or rail from Surrey, so can anyone please clarify the parking costs at the venue? The car park does not look very big in Google maps so are there restrictions in local roads? Also could anyone provide the name of the Polish layout as it was unclear in the RDMRC’s video. Thanks for any help to encourage a new attendee! Edited February 15 by ModRXsouth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I cant remember what the car parking charges are but are not that high, Tesco is an option but I cant remember what the time limit is there. If you fancy walking a bit further there are side roads that don't have restrictions. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold C126 Posted February 18 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 18 Thanks to all for the lovely day out yester-day. In at 10.00, first (paying) customers of the cake/refreshment stand we were told, and stayed till 14.30 (not just by the cakes). Broad selection of excellent layouts giving much inspiration. Everyone friendly and helpful. The builders' merchant's yard on Glenridding Lane was delightful, I loved the group of buildings on the left of Loughborough Road - many arches and alleys to peer through giving different views (was it based on a real cluster?) - and I fell in love with the handsome loco on Tamzynowo Wlk, thus: The stock looks like OO because of the huge loading-gauge, I assume. Another spectator agreed with me the scenery looked wonderful. Managed to resist buying more stock, but I did get three more 2d-hand books of photographs of 1970's wagon-load freight (two the undeservedly-neglected Bradford Barton), two road vans and a 'bailer' wagon-load. Thought the grey tones nicely with my drab 1970's aesthetic. Unfortunately, it is too wide for my bodged SPV 'Plate' wagon as intended, so I put it on the Lowmac instead: Thank you all for the hard work in organising it. Hope others including @ModRXsouth enjoyed themselves as much as us and you all got home safely. I will make more of an effort to get to the Stoke Mandeville show this year. Best wishes to you all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzaday Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 I would like to send out a personal thanks to all of our traders, societies, layout owners and Club members for putting on an enjoyable and successful exhibition. Special thanks needs to go to the catering team (both Club members and their partners), who kept us supplied with light refreshments, beverages and our celebrated cakes throughout the day. The exhibition was financially successful for the Risborough & District Model Railway Club, the proceeds of which will help us fund our new Clubhouse and will ensure that we are able put on exhibitions of this quality in the future. Finally, a very special thanks to all of our visitors who attended on the day. We hope you had a very enjoyable day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To C126 and Gazzaday - Frustratingly, a sudden domestic issue on Saturday morning prevented me attending the show so I missed seeing Tamzynowo Wlk in particular. Any chance you or anyone else could post further photos - will it be appearing at another show? Any information appreciated - thanks again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold C126 Posted February 19 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19 (edited) Herewith the few I took. Apologies as always for the quality. It was much larger than expected, compared to what is available elsewhere on the www. A few details: Edited February 19 by C126 Better caption/explanation.

ModRXsouth Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 C126 - you are a star, thank you so much for posting those photos. I will get to RISEX next year! Wow, Tamzynowo Wlk looks very impressive, the detailing certainly creates an effective atmosphere of its geographical setting. All credit to the owner - and looking at how the displayed baseboards end, I assume there could be further sections. I hope there will be another opportunity to view this layout somewhere. Your earlier post mentioned the “handsome loco.” I am collecting information on Polish railways and that appears to be an ET22 Co-Co electric loco used for both freight and passenger traffic; probably PIKO HO gauge. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
