Northpoint Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Many thanks for the comments. I was very pleased with the way it went - all the feedback was positive and it seemed that everybody had a very enjoyable day. Thanks go to everybody that took part - exhibitors, traders, helpers, kitchen crew and visitors. Well, my misfortunes continued - only managed 8 photos before the batteries ran out. I thought I had some in the car but unfortunately, that nwas not the case! Anyway, here are the ones I did take: Alpha Packaging Haston Black Rock Harrington If antbody has any more photos, please post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi, Nice pics of some great looking layouts, especially good to see NW 22nd St. but of course I'm a bit biased to CSX in Miami cheers, Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_long Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Great show, a pleasure to be a part of. Just a couple of photos of NW 22nd st, as it was just me I didn't really get a chance to take pics of the other layouts. I'll add more to my layout thread later. Thank you to all who passed such good comments about the layout. Atleast it shows that I am a better modeller than photographer! Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks to Nick and all the crew for putting on a great show, really great to meet some of you guys in person for the first time and put faces to names. Some superb layouts there. For our part the Alpha/Dale combo had never gone together in that way before the show so we were learning how to work it, but it all ran really reliably and we had a great time. Next year I really mustn't forget the drapes, but other than that no troubles! Lots of interest in the modules as well, and some interesting thoughts for next year!

shortliner Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks for the photos - recognised the rear-view of my co-conspirators at Glasgow - and some very nice looking layouts, and I'm sure that the visitors enjoyed it too. Now that Nick has had time to recover his composure, after his last-minute "OOOOO -ERRRRRRRs" and war-wounds, is it on again for next year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Nick has had time to recover his composure, after his last-minute "OOOOO -ERRRRRRRs" and war-wounds, is it on again for next year? Yes Jack - it probably is on for next year. Not sure of a date yet as I understand there's an extra bank holiday to do with Her Maj reaching a certain age or something so it depends how that pans out. It will either be early June - I don't think the date clash with DEMU was a problem this year as we are only 10 miles apart and it really isn't too much problem to do both. I went there this monrning and bumped into several who were at the show yesterday. Alternatively, we go back to May and possibly share dates with Derby, but as above, we're not too far apart so both can be done easily in a day. Or we just pick a date at random and see what happens. Any thoughts will be welcomed. BTW - didn't anybody manage to take any pics of North Plains?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northpoint Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 I e-mailed a link to this page to an acquaintance that Chris G and I have in Wisconsin and this is his reply: "Wow. You guys do some impressive modeling. I really like the SOO f unit with the tape to keep the snow from blowing in the vents and doors." Nice one, Jordan!!

DaveB Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Took this one yesterday - Cavan, my Apprentice Engineer with Hoxie Harbor. He did let me have a go with the layout later in the show! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 A really excellent day out at an excellent show. I arrived well prepared to assist with the show and Nick cheerfully informed me that I was to operate North Plains. Now that was a surprise!!! I had a splendid day with Steve W operating the layout. It is very interesting running a 12ft long layout without a run round loop with two operators, using DCC of course. We managed to avoid any head on collisions Many thanks Nick for a great day and thanks to the catering department for their very hard work which was much appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I'll go along with compliments about the show. The new fiddleyard worked well and overall I'm very pleased with it. Looking forward to next year! steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegheny1600 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Although I only managed to get there for about 12:30, my mate Darren and I had a great time! I only wish I could have been there for longer as there just wasn't enough time to chat to everyone that I knew in (real?) life or on here, so my apologies to those I missed chatting to properly or "bothered" at the last minute! Also, was too busy nattering to take any pics, sorry! D'oh! Anyway, many thanks to Nick for organising it all, to the ladies in the canteen, the door staff and all - much appreciated! Looks like I'd better get building then? John E. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks everybody for the feedback. A question for those that have posted photos - can I use them (with the appropriate credit) on the website as I don't have any of my own? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longers Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks for sharing the pics everyone, looks like a great day. Will definitely be there next year...hopefully Jordan, I know you were unsure about how high to position Schiller Point but it looks great to me in this pic (the bulk of O Scale really comes across in this view!) How high did you have it in the end? Did any viewers comment on the height? Cheers, L'rs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, L'rs One effect of Schiller Point layout is I've found myself searching the web & ebay for 0 gauge CSX and NS locos. Bad idea that!
