rouse2037 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yes! We got it to 2 pages and heading for 1000 views! Must be all the RMWebbers out there who keep popping back to this thread to remind themselves that this weekend is the FREE Lord & Butler Annual Model Show in Cardiff where you can help a great cause as you browse some great layouts, chat with fellow, like minded railway chums and The Man from Bachmann and ponder over what to buy next from one of, if not THE, best model shop - dont forget too that its the home of Dirty Boy weathering!

br2975 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 1011 views! UPDATE DATELINE:- Thursday, 16th. June, 2011 7.09am STOP PRESS:- 1,050 people have now viewed a thread that tells them this weekend sees the Lord & Butler 'Free Model Railway Show' - proceeds from which will be donated to 'Ty Hafan'. Anyone unable to attend is cordially invited to care for my twin grandsons on Saturday, in order that I may sample the day's delights.

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted June 16, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 16, 2011 Set Paynestown up in the hall for its first full test since this time last year - I can't fit the full 11' length of the layout anywhere in the house other than the hall, although I can test the individual boards and connect two together. Over the last 24 hrs I have expanded the fiddle yard capacity from 4 to 6 roads, and ironed out a few gremlins - though doubtless more will manifest on the weekend...

rouse2037 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looking good Al How about a snap of you with the iron and a nasty green gremlin pleading for mercy just before you flatten him out! Spoke to Peter earlier - the area for the show has been cleared and all set for a great weekend. Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouse2037 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Also this weekend - dont forget to grab "Class 416 2 EPB 2 car EMU BR Green with small yellow panels and air horns" Exclusive limited editions ONLY at Lord & Butler, Cardiff! Awesome! Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouse2037 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 My biggest concern.... pouring rain at 7.30am Saturday as I carry Neptune Road to the car - I may end up with a soggy mess of loft insulation foam! Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted June 16, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 16, 2011 We'll have to dodge the showers! I'll be making at least one trip down tomorrow, first with the trestles and then probably a second trip with the rest of the layout, unless I dare risk leaving it to saturday morning as I did last year.

rouse2037 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Indeed a great day! Good crowd of people through the doors from the start - hopefully a good sum will have been raised for Ty Hafan by end of play tomorrow. Cheers all Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I really like the look of Paynestown; an unusual theme, beautifully modelled. Good luck with your showing. Jonte. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Just got back from this event, which I enjoyed very much. It seemed to be well supported but was quiet enough later to have a chat with a some of the owners. I spent some time looking at Maindee East, and particularly enjoyed Neptune Rd and Paynestown sorry if I distracted you during your shunting moves! I will look out for this event next year, I even think my better half would enjoy attending, well, to view the antiques anyway! cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouse2037 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 What a great weekend! I'm all train-ed out! Met up with some great folk, new faces and the regulars too! Thanks to all who stopped and took a look at Neptune Rd and had a chat. I think L&B were kept busy and I'm sure a good sum has been raised for Ty Hafan.
