cromptonnut Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 If I can persuade SWMBO we may well be there. I'd already mentioned the Bluebell shuttle trip for that weekend so you never know... I didn't know about the show till you posted here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbishop Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yes but will you be going back and forth to Empingham all day Colin I doubt it, Colin, because I'm feeling guilty about letting down Tony on the Saturday, because I'm at the Southwark Bridge operating day.

Apologies to any layout owners whose layout's names I have misspelt, I took the list (and spelling) from East Grinstead MRC's website. Some very good layouts on display at the show. I will be there again today behind Avon Junction if any RM Webbers want to say hello. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Nevard Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Just back from a whistletop tour. A nice little show spread across 3 rooms. My fav was Bleadon (all the way from Plymouth too), cracking scenery, lots going on, friendly team and properly lit - allowing handheld snaps with my Fisher price point and shoot....

Burkitt Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I agree with Chris about Bleadon, an excellent layout which managed to feature several cameo scenes without being clichéd. There were lots of other very good layouts too, including some nice American ones. However several layouts seemed to be suffering serious reliability problems - on one I don't think I saw a single train run from end to end without stalling or derailing all Saturday, and the operators stopped running anything at all for the last hour. The range of traders would have benefited from more basic materials and tools sellers, with no enamel paint or plastic weld to be had. Anyway here's a video from Saturday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeCzHYLBvl8 And some photos: Westerham Epsom Town Aldford Brewery Florida Creek Siding Acol St Marks Yard Empingham Fulton Terminal Mere Vista Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Colin Posted April 10, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 10, 2011 Got back home just after 7pm, layout has been quickly put back on its shelves in the garage and I just have the tidying-up to do tomorrow (glad I took the day off). We (myself & "second man" Iain) both enjoyed the show, and poor old "South Pimlico" behaved itself quite well overall. Nice to see JohnB & ColinW from RMWeb plus various other acquaintances! One more show to go and it's all over........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Have now recovered from the weekend, we enjoyed it as it gave us a chance to play trains! We also received a lot of nice compliments about Avon Junction. It was nice to meet Colin behind South Pimlico (probably my last time to see it) and bbishop and TonyA behind the German railway stand, and I thought I saw Mr Nevard yesterday afternoon as he was going round. Avon Junction performed reasonably well over the weekend, but we had a couple of gremlins appear and some trucks decided they didn't like being shunted, but they were removed when they were next in the fiddleyard's. They will be worked on before the layout next goes out. Paul, thanks for putting the couple of clips of the layout onto your video. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkitt Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks Colin. I've got a few more shots of Avon Junction which I'll upload as a standalone video later. Looking at some of the shots in my video from East Grinstead, I've been getting a bit frustrated with Youtube's high compression. As an experiment I've also uploaded the video to Vimeo, which seems to show it at much higher quality. http://vimeo.com/22215233 Unfortunately it does not seem to be possible to embed Vimeo clips on RMweb though.

Pete the Elaner Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 We (myself & "second man" Pete) both enjoyed the show, and poor old "South Pimlico" behaved itself quite well overall. One more show to go and it's all over........ Enjoyed the show. Didn't enjoy the M25 in either direction I'll have mixed feelings after South Pimlico's final show. I have enjoyed working with it but it does have fundamental flaws which make it difficult to set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
