ColinW Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Tonbridge MRC will be holding its 31st exhibition in the Angel Centre, Tonbridge on Saturday 18th February. Following on from this year's successful show, the club has agreed to keep the show to the same size for next year with the two halls again available, we are also keeping the admission prices the same Adults £5, Concessions (OAP's & Wheelchair carers) £4, Children (10-16)£1 and Children under 10 Free. The list below is for the layouts so far confirmed to come:- Auerbach Yard (HO) Belmont Road (OO) Bradfield, Gloucester Square East Grinstead Town Eatanswill (O) Fiddler's End (N) Hythe (OO) Invergeachy (O) Iron Mould Lane (OO) Polperro (16mm) Rae Bridge (009) Rolvenden (P4) St.Etienne Treneglos Tre Ponti West Tillgate (N) I have put the layout gauges in for some, a couple of layouts are very well featured on here, but I think it looks to be a very good show again. For any further details regarding the show, you can either go to the club's website, www.tonbridgemrc.com, e-mail myself through tonbridgemrc@btinternet.com or phone 07940161663. I will be back when I next get more news on the show. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinWalsh Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 It's lucky for me that your show and Modelworld don't clash this year as I've been asked to assist with operations on a fellow club member's layout at Brighton (3rd year in a row I don't have to pay to look round ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to repeat what I said on the Treneglos thread, that off the top of my head there will be between 15-20 RM Webbers at the show, either club members, exhibitors or traders. 4 of the layouts attending also have threads on here, Belmont Road, Bradfield Gloucester Square, Leaford & Treneglos.

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted January 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2012 Colin, slight correction to the Treneglos entry.... we're OO not EM, although I promise there's no Peco track on the scenic section! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Colin, slight correction to the Treneglos entry.... we're OO not EM, although I promise there's no Peco track on the scenic section! Sorry Chris, I was working from a sheet given to me with that on it, no excuse I know especially to someone commenting on your thread. I have reported this mistake to ChrisM to rectify.

ColinW Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 No worries - just didn't want folk being upset when they saw the layout in the flesh.... I wouldn't worry about that Chris, we like to get well built layouts each year, although I might get a bit upset if GWR locos appear on it!

ColinW Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 For anyone travelling to the show by train and with Tonbridge station being 5 minutes away from the venue, and it receiving services from Canterbury, Ashford International, Margate, Ramsgate, Dover, Strood, Hastings , Tunbridge Wells, Redhill and London, I can advise that there are booked engineering works between Tonbridge and Sevenoaks on the day of the show. This will affect most of the services through the station. Trains from London Charing Cross, Waterloo East & London Bridge to call at Tonbridge, will only be the Hastings services, and they will be diverted through Redhill, but not stop there. Trains from Ashford and the Kent coast will terminate at Tonbridge, trains from Strood will terminate at Paddock Wood and you will need to join the next service to Tonbridge. The stopping service from Redhill should not be affected. Can I also advise that Tonbridge station is currently having a lot of building works done, and the ticket office is currently affaected by this.

ColinW Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Unfortunately Iron Mould Lane has had to withdraw from attending because of work commitments. Hopefully have news about replacement soon. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 We have managed to book Chillingbourne (OO) as a replacement for Iron Mould Lane, who should be at the 2013 show now. Also we will have Steve Sharp demonstrating scratchbuilding locomotives and rolling stock from plasticard. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
