RMweb Gold queensquare Posted April 20 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20 (edited) With just a couple of months to go we thought it was probably about time we started the ball rolling with a new thread. As this years title suggests, we have a fantastic, International line up this year with not only exhibits from all corners of the British Isles but also Denmark, France, Japan and the Lebanon - plus two from the depths of the Forest of Dean! Despite the enhanced cosmopolitan and international flavour the general format remains unchanged. Top class modelling, jolly banter, tea and cake. This years charities will again be Julian House in Bath and Parkinsons uk. Last year, thanks to the fantastic efforts of everyone involved, we managed to raise over £800 - not bad for such a small, but perfectly formed show. Exactly what will be at this years Larkrail is currently being finalised in a series of high level meetings being held by the steering committee and all, well most, will be revealed over the coming weeks. Suffice to say, for now, put July 13 in your diary. Many thanks to Adrian Colenutt for the picture of Longwood Edge and Andy York for again working his magic on it to create the poster.

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted April 20 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20 I like the title! But no mention of cakes in the banner!!!! Luckily the poster keeps up the pretense that this is an undercover cake show and tell operation masked by brilliant layouts and learned chat. I have booked day off already I have a 4 foot by 1 foot N gauge layout Poldeen if of use as a corner filler. Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted April 27 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27 All details are now being finalised by the administrative maestro that is Jerry(!) I visited Matt this morning to discuss getting his layout "Les Caves du Roy"down to Larkhall on the 13th July. The subject is unusual to say the least, and I can honestly say that Matt has created one of the best and most visually striking model railways that I have ever seen in my life. Easily up there with Gravett, Rice and any other of the many talented individuals that grace this hobby. I won't steal Matt's thunder, and he is working on a few final details that will really bring the whole scene to life, but here are a couple of snaps to whet your appetite.: See you there! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must point out that Simon was under the influence of a very strong double espresso so I am very dubious of his claims to say the least! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted May 23 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23 As well as exhibits from all corners of the globe, we also travel to the depths of the Forest with not one, but two models of Parkend. We have John Farmer's beautiful interpretation in P4 and Steve ‘Pixie’ Nichols equally glorious version in 2FS. A real treat for lovers of the Forest.
