dibateg Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm in the Heyside car! Looking forward to it! The show that is... Well, and the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktuk159 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Got set up nice and early - seems likely to be a good event if the venue is anything to go by ... warm, light and plenty of space. Car parking is good and public transport is reasonably good with bus routes close by and Bristol Parkway not too far to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two tone green Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Just got back from the exhibition which was well and truley worth going to. Lots of things to see, lots of things to buy, lots of room to move about, lots of seats to sit down. Even to sit and admire the trains going buy. Will go again. Different atmosphere to a 4mm or mixed scale exhibition. Much better for some reason I cannot put my finger on, just seemed nicer some how. Well done to all involved. Even rejoined the O Gauge Guild after being out of it since 1990. The bug has bitten again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TimC Posted February 1, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2010 Excellent show in a much improved venue (I just hope it didn't break the bank!). Enjoyed a chat with Brian Daniels on his JLTRT locos (got some tips for my Class 25) and also listening to Martyn Welch on weathering techniques. Jacket potato and chilli was good and spicy. Looking forward to next year's show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PhilH Posted February 1, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2010 I was there with eldavo and the WMR on 'Abbotstone'. I think the venue must rank as one of the best I've been in for an exhibition, spacious, light and well laid out. A lot of the top O gauge traders attended so it's a good job I haven't got any spare cash at the moment, I would say that I could have spent thousands given a fair wind and a friendly bank manager.I was also very impressed by some of the demonstrators attending, there's some seriously talented people around.

dikitriki Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I thought the show was great. The venue was everything it should have been, and put Kettering and Reading to shame. Lots of space, light and airy, plenty of seats, well thought out, easy to get to, good parking, in my diary for next year! Great to see so many people, I spend more time talking at shows than looking. Nice to chat to Flubrush, Dan and 28ten at some length. Saw Pugsley but never got to talk to him (37's great Pugs!) All in all, a most enjoyable day out. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugsley Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thanks Richard, sorry I didn't get to chat but it was only a flying visit for me between Cheshire and work in the afternoon! The venue was very good and the trade support was as well, my only regret is that I couldn't spend more than just under two hours there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted February 1, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2010 Really enjoyed it (I was there with Messrs Marc Smith and Dave "Wenlock"). Perhaps my expectations were lower than they should have been, but had a real wow moment at the size of the hall. Very spacious, very stress-free experience. Spent a long time at the big layout with a through station and four track mainline - not sure of the name, but very enjoyable just to get the head down low and watch Bulleids thunder past with long rakes. Just a shame that the bacon baps ran out so early I think I've officially crossed over to the dark side now, what with this and the Telford show last year.

brian daniels Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 As has been said it was a superb venue but how many people went into the first turn into the University? I did for one but my excuse was my brain was numb after riding from Oxford in -2 on my motorbike, the things I do for a show It was all worth it though apart from Eileens Imporium not being there due to another show clashing.

Guest Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 As an O gauge noob it was very interesting. Lots of traders selling actual modelling stuff and no tables piled high with Hornby locos. Hope it's at the same venue next year. It really was superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibateg Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Excellent show at a great venue with excellent access, parking in a pleasant spacious room. Lots to see, buy and many people to talk to. I struggled to get round everything in the time. Lets hope for the same next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnapper Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Excellent show, I agree with all that's been said. Full marks to the Bristol Group for making a great effort to improve on last years venue. I think we should tell them............: BOGG link Here's to next year Best wishes Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
