Are we demolishing the overhead then? If Herculaneum is "modern image" - or do you mean modern image 1890's?

Mike

that will be another "Oh Dear" moment from Doctor John - now modified!!

 

So Modern to Dr J is 1950s --- probably correct!!

We now have what I hope is a definitive list of traders

 

Millenium Models

Bill Hudson Transport Books

Model Depot

Modeller's Mate

Going Loco

Uncommon Kits

M&B Models

Mad About Trains (K&M Models)

Bay Models

247 Developments

D&E Videos - DC Kits

When I can decipher the last floor plan I received I believe we have some additional layouts.

 

 

Note that we will also have a display of local wagon photographs and maps of Leeds and its environs courtesy of John and Owen Gibbon plus support from the Middleton Railway, Leeds Historical Transport Society and the 1904 NER Railcar Trust.

 

Add to this everything under one roof - food available ( including breakfast fro exhibitors and visitors alike) and loads of free car parking - it should be a good show.

 

And - look at the back of the October Railway Modeller for a shot of a weathered Liverpool Overhead Railway on Herculaneum Dock - more of which in teh November edition.

All of our traders should have had their show letters by now - with 3 reserves standing by in case of illness.

 

and ... beer ordered for drinking on Friday and Saturday night at Arcadia - two Barrels of Ram Tam - the ideal drink fro the discerning modeller!

And since the photos of Herculaneum Dock were taken by Steve Flint some more has been added - in the form of a hydraulic coal crane from Nicktoix which I have weathered and should appear as a photo when I get home to my camera!

"Needless to say the tracks underneath have no relevance".- not unless you go to Warley this year or Leeds SHow next year - I detect a Denroyd!! Black shiny engines and plum and spilt milk coached for the display case at this years show?

And here is the crane !!

Needless to say the tracks underneath have no relevance.

It was built using 3 poor photos, a plan drawn up for the change from chains to wire and much thought.

I ain't doing another !!

A superb collection of layouts, promises to be a good show again! The venue is superb and only 15 minutes drive from the A1 at Wetherby via Collingham Bridge/ Harewood House (Turn left there) then 3 miles later turn into the school at the schools 'Own Roundabout'. Easy & pleasant drive.

If coming through Leeds or round the Outer Ring Road, follow the Harrogate Signs, its at the 1st roundabout after you leave the Ring Road.
