Mansfield 2011 is planned for the 5th and 6th of March 2011 and it has fallen to me again to sort out some scrummy layouts for the delictation of the general public.

 

So, who fancies showing the fruits of their labours?

 

We can pay reasonable travel expenses but can't run to accommodation costs as it's a charity show.

 

Traction has already thrown his hat in the ring with N guage Thomas and a couple of other projects he is currently working on, so, come on you lot who's up for it?

 

Either post in this thread or PH me with details

thanks again ian, the past 2 years have have been fantasticly enjoyable shows with some great layouts and it looks like 2011 will be even better, looking forward to showing charlie street for the first time, and looking forward to seeing some of the great layouts that will be there.

im sure there will be plenty more offers ian, maybe an O gauge shunting plank would be cool.

its a really well run and well visited show and well worth spending a weekend running trains ( free advertising there ian, thats gotta be worth a bacon roll hehe )

 

regards

Quick bump to appeal to all you kettle fans out there, I'm up to my neck in modern image/DEMU layouts so this is a direct appeal for Steam loco based layouts, come on, you know it makes sense, step right up there, form an orderly queue :lol:

 

Also I've got some feelers out for an O gauge layout but if there is anyone with as Mason puts it, an O gauge shunting plank that fancies a weekend playing trains, please get in touch .....

Bad news is that Market Roundham won't fit in the venue, most of the rooms are long and thin and can't accommodate Gary's basically square layout.

 

Good news is that David Wellington is bringing Hollobeck Shed - a stunning O gauge BR NE shed set in 1962. That's two exhibitors from Driffield in one show!

 

the following is an extract from ukmodelshops.co.uk

 

Subject: BR(NE)

Era: 1962

Description:

This is a finescale layout depicting a Tyneside sub-shed during the steam/diesel change over years.

Locos showcased are accurate to the period and include no less than 4 x Piercy J27s plus Q6/WD/V3/J72/J94/77xxx/ plus diesels 08/03/25/37.

 

A 2-road depot is modelled,together with a working turntable,sheer legs,signal box,coal stage and large brewery that hides the fiddle yard.
