North Eastern Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Blyth & Tyne Model Railway Society would like to welcome you all to our 43rd Anniversary Exhibition. Starting out as the Blyth & District Model Railway Society, we changed our name last year to reflect the growing area our members come from. We now have over 80 members and a club house in excess of 9000 sq ft. We would like to welcome you back to our venue at The Parks Sports Centre, in North Shields. As you will see the exhibition is all on one level making it more accessible to everyone. This year we have a 'North Eastern Railway' theme to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the North Eastern Railway Association. The Association was formed in 1961 to promote interest in the North Eastern Railway, its constituents and successors up to the present day, together with the smaller independent and industrial railways that operated alongside the main line system. This year we have up to 43 layouts representing layouts with a North Eastern theme as well as layouts from other parts of the country as well as the world ranging from Z Gauge to Gauge 1. We also have 19 Demonstrations, covering most aspects of modelling and displays in Meccano. We believe this is our biggest and hopefully best exhibition to date. Also this year we have numerous layouts and demonstrations showing the latest technology in Model Railways – Digital Command Control (DCC). Please take your time to visit all parts of the Exhibition, and ask the exhibitors as many questions as you like. We also have a fine array of Local and National Trade support this year. There will be something for everyone so please give them your support. A wide range of food and refreshments are provided by the Sports Centre catering staff in the Cafe. Stop by for some refreshments and a bite to eat whilst you take a break from watching the trains go by. This year we have our usual Tombola. This way you get your prizes straight away. There are many fine prizes this year including Loco’s donated by Hornby and Dapol. So please stop by admire the prizes and buy a ticket or two. There is also our usual stand of used magazines available for a donation. Special thanks must go to North Tyneside Council for their invaluable support in helping us arrange this exhibition at The Parks Sport Centre. Special thanks once again to Northumbrian Water Limited (who have kindly provided the barriers) and to Booklaw Publications for their support. Also thanks to all the Exhibitors for supporting the show and the Traders for their support in the programme and the show.

James Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 It looks like an excellent line up! I really want to try and get up to see it - if only for Blackgill! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold John B Posted May 2, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2011 As a member of NERA I'm admittedly a wee bit biased, however irrespective of regional interests, the sheer quality of that cast list has to be one of the best I've ever seen assembled for any show, and really puts this event into the top echelon of exhibitions. Congratulations to all concerned, I wish you well - and (given that there's little to no chance of me making it) I hope there's plenty of photographers there..

Dear John, thank you for your kind comments about our exhibition, which we believe will be one of the best around this year. Not just if you like all things 'North Eastern' either. It is a shame you can't come over for the show, we do have some NERA members coming form Canada. I will endeavour to put some photo's from the first day on a soon as I can. To get an idea of the venue look at our website www.railexne.com and view the photos from last years exhibition. Regards Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwealleans Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Seeing that list of layouts you'd have been fending me off with a sh*tty stick anyway, but I'm pleased to say that I will be there as part of the Marske team. Really looking forward to seeing Bramblewick for the first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Eastern Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 I have just being informed today, that Tom Harland will not be able to bring 'Bramblewick' due to ill health. Tom is disappointed not to becoming as it is the 50th Anniversary of the North Eastern Railway Association. Tom has agreed to come in 2012, provided his health has improved. I for one hopes he will come in 2012 as I have been waiting to see 'Bramblewick' for along time. Regards Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Kington SRC Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looking forward to seeing Crimson Road in the flesh after reading the mag article. Owner Pete Griffiths and myself are also looking forward to treading new territory in "North Eastern" land. Since Crimson Road was featured in the "Railway Modeller" February 2010; Pete has altered the layout so that recent Exhibition appearances have included more scenics over the left hand fiddle with the track having expanded onto another "fiddle" board at right angles to the front boards. This has improved the "activities" at the back and made life much easier for the operators and increased the possible train movements. We are hoping that similar alterations to the right hand fiddle will be completed in time for Railex North East 2011. This will enable some of Pete's well weathered freight trains to run across the back of the layout as well as the d.m.u's seen regularly at present. Hope to meet some new faces on Tyneside. - this is a first visit for a layout connected with Stafford Railway Circle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted July 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2011 This show is going to be superb. Blackgill alone will be worth the entrance fee. I'll be driving down (and up) the A1 from Retford if anyone wants to share transport costs, can get to/from a pick up point en route (including Donny Station) and can put up with me moaning about other drivers. I'd be wanting to get there for an early start and would be leaving mid afternoon (in case of footy traffic). Cheers Phil @36E Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasatcopthorne Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Plea for help Hi Guys I'll be at this show with Harton Gill and the model below. Some of you may have seen this model before but does anyone know or have any un-published photos of the prototype that they can bring along to show me. There are a few details that I have never managed to get right and I would love to correct my mistakes. Cheers Dave Smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Eastern Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Two weeks to go before the big set up, and still a million and one things to do. The list of jobs to do seems to get bigger every year, must learn to delegate better!!!!!!! That said off to Pickering tomorrow for a week of rest & recuperation with SWMBO and the kids. A good excuse to sample the delights of the NYMR and the Scarborough & District Exhibition on the 20th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
