vanbasher Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I'm looking forward to visiting this one again, Macc was my home town for over 30 years until I moved away. A couple of questions though please, are there any trade stands going that sell new or nearly new 00 gauge locos & stock, also I can't seem to see the vintage bus timetable on the site so please can this be added too? Kind regards & many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dava Posted April 10 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 10 I'd like to see 'Hibel Road'. Used to be a member as a youth up to 1980's-ish when I moved away. I guess most everyone I used to know has moved on... Dava 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 10 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10 Star Lane is currently being checked over by Mike prior to him loading it for the show. He has a little bit of my green stock plus Star bridge signal box as I am coming by train. I will have a different class 33 this show to the one in the photo. Mike and Phatbob have quite a bit of new stock to run on the layout. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully others will swell the ranks, I was a member in the Drill Hall days and wish I could attend what looks like an excellent show. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted April 17 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17 Looking forwards to coming on Saturday - as has been noted, an another strong lineup making good use of the available space for the Show. Would just like to say thank you in advance to everyone involved - a huge amount of effort goes in, all voluntary, and it is appreciated, Keith. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards & many thanks. Hi VanBasher, We have around 14 trade stands attending, many of whom sell new/nearly new or second hand Locos and stock in all scales and gauges. Our own club members stand will be selling its usual array of members stock, who are either switching scales or downsizing their collection. Regarding the Bus timetable, have you tried the club website recently? It should be on there to view for everyone. As Exhibition Manager I look forward to welcoming you to our show. cheers Andy 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnham-on-sea Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Just back from the Show, which was to its usual high standard. Very difficult to pick the Best in Show. Met a lot of friends, shouldn't say old friends as we're all getting older! Refreshments excellent as always. Alastair. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Went this morning, Coppell and Barton Rd are the standouts for me but a good mix of scales and eras. Parking was a bit of a mare despite there being a lot of area to park in, but I guess that’s what comes of going on the Saturday morning. One thing I would say and it’s not limited to this show: don’t put trade on the stage as it loses passing traffic, the chap did not look too busy unlike the other trade. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted April 20 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20 Agree with the above - very enjoyable and plenty to enjoy throughout the day. Always a well organised show. Was able to stay into the afternoon and it did get quieter from 3pm onwards. Thanks to @BigAndy - who I was able to chat with briefly on the way out - and the whole team (incl. exhibitors and caterers). Came home with just one new layout idea (and loco), which isn’t too bad. No idea if I bumped into @woodenhead as someone I often ‘see’ on here, but quite a few people it was good to see and catch up with when passing. For anyone free tomorrow, would happily recommend a visit, Keith. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT100 Diesels Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Went today, a great show with a huge variety of layout types across the scales and gauges, very enjoyable. For me, it was great to catch another 3mm scale layout double header in the north in quick succession (Belper and York were the other shows). And quite a few three millers about to catch up and chat with as well. Final bonus was an half hour operating session on Mike Corp's sublime 3mm 14.2 finescale layout, Heybridge Wharf. The show appeared to be 'healthily busy' today, so hope its the same tomorrow for the traders, club and layouts. Cheers TT100 Diesels 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Agree with TT100Diesels, a great show and I was also impressed by the friendliness of the layout exhibitors who were very generous with their time explaining their techniques and models. Well done and congrats to the organisers who put the show together. The catering was good too! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
