Kenton Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Can someone confirm that I have read the website properly and the below are the only 'modern image' layouts going to be present.Depends on what a definition of "modern image" is - for me that will be all of them. But I think there are more than 2 when you consider the European/Continental and gauges other than OO. Why limit your modelling interest to such a narrow criteria there and many other layouts in other scales and gauges and prototype that can things to offer the modeller.

KingsCrossSuburban Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 This is the first Railway Enthusiast Club exhibtion I have attended since the mid-late 1980s. The line-up looked promising and it didn't disappoint. The venue was excellent. Despite the number of layouts and trade stands, it didn't feel like it was shoe-horned in; there was plenty of room to veiw everything and move around. I was particularly keen to catch up with Paradise Mining, which I first saw at Warley a few years ago. Unfortunately, my camera gave up the ghost that time, so I was pleased to have another opportunity to see it in the flesh. I like it's quirkiness, the detail, the atmosphere, the fact that it runs well and the fact that it all 'works' in such a compact space. I enjoyed all of the layouts including those that I've seen several times before; Mellin Parva, Hinton Parva and Thomas' Junction. I thought the range of traders was excellent and could have spent a fortune. If only I had it to spend!! A very enjoyable show, that hopefully, I'll be able to attend next year. For some reason I can't add any photos to this post at the moment. Hope to do so later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I forgot this was on. I really would have liked to see Shirley Goodall again after all these years, and pick up some more Bulleid castings.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
