RMweb Gold robk Posted March 11 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11 Exmoor Rail 2024 is on Saturday 1 June 2022 in Minehead at the local college. Recently added to our list of exhibitors is Jim Allwood with his Apa based project, 2mm fine scale, "Bordesley North". As Jim says, he has shamelessly plagiarised "Apa Park", using an Ikea "Apa" toybox for this unusual micro-layout. Unusual, in that to the left of the fiddle yard is another micro-layout, previously a container terminal when it appeared at Warley in 2022, we've been told it may be something different by the time it arrives in Minehead! The main Exmoor Rail 2024 announcement can be found here: And for those of you that remember our attempts in 2022 to coax the Pacer to move. Yes, it lives! Looking forward to seeing all our exhibitors, traders and visitors, @exmoordave David & @robkRob 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted April 9 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9 Good evening! As I will be visiting as a member of the paying public can I assume the venue is walkable from the WSR station? There is a train from BL arriving about 1130....Rob may be there by then of course which will be a bonus... Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 1.5/2km, depending how quick you walk, say 25 minutes. There is a bus that comes up from town, I think it wears the number 28 and runs half hourly. Bus timetables though are a bit of a mystery to me, so best double check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a tad tricky, Dave. Linament makes one's wool somewhat matted. Devil of a job getting it out. Simply having a dip isn't sufficient.

exmoordave Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 CORRECTION......... A friend has brought to my attention the fact that EXMOOR RAIL is listed in BRM as taking place on Saturday 5th August 2024. Now if this was my fault and I wrote & posted this info while intoxicated, then I sincerely apologise. However, I have double-checked my email which I sent on 1st April (April fool???!!!) to BRM and all the info listed was correct, so I am left wondering what has happened???!!! It's compounded by the fact that 5th August this year is on a MONDAY......!!!!! So, just to reiterate - EXMOOR RAIL 2024 is taking place this year on Saturday 1st June, from 10.00am to 4.30pm. I may need a liedown in a darkened room now until I find out what happened?????? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbiewood Posted Wednesday at 11:20 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:20 Hi @exmoordave Sorry this error has been printed - I too was stumped as to why we had printed that date, but when I checked the correspondence I was sent on March 26th, the date is in fact printed as Saturday, August 5th (maybe this was the date last year?) - I'd be happy to forward it to you to see. Once again, sorry that the incorrect date has been published, I will put the correct date in the June issue for you, which will be out mid-May, so will hopefully help promote the event. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold robk Posted Saturday at 18:41 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted Saturday at 18:41 We have added our 17th layout exhibiting at Exmoor Rail on 1 June this year, David Greenwood is bringing his latest, never before seen in public, OO layout, "Avon Mills 1990". In David's words: "Avon Mills is set in the Bristol area around 1990. The layout features a small suburban station, a rail-served industry and a stabling point for diesel locos. All the locos have been renumbered to represent prototypes seen in the area at the time. All are fitted with DCC sound. There are loads of details to spot - a famous old lady on the platform, wildlife including rats and butterflies, and correct Bristol buses for the period crossing the bridges." We hope David rounds up all his rats at home time! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
