devonseasider Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Last reminder for this. Unfortunately we've just lost "Penrhos" - a late victim to the lurgy that's doing the rounds - but our near-neighbours from the Culm Valley Model Railway group have kindly offered to fill the void with "Chinehurst". Other than that, everything is as shown above in message #7. Please come & say hello if you're within striking distance of the Devon/Dorset/Somerset border area.

RMweb Premium DLT Posted November 6, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 6, 2011 I visited the Thorncombe show yesterday and came away very impressed; a very good selection and variety of layouts, (many of them were new to me), with most scales and gauges represented. Accompanied by a reasonable selection of traders, both new and secondhand. Most importantly there was a goodly number of visitors there, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I met several old freinds and made a few new ones; found some secondhand books that I've been looking for for a while, had the last slice of delicious homemade cake, and left without voting for my favourite layout as I couldnt decide. Many thanks to the organisers. Dave.T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonseasider Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Dave - thanks for your comments. I'll pass them on. Pleased you thought the visit worthwhile. We were busy throughout the day (we even had a queue, albeit a small one, outside the door waiting for opening time - that's a first for Thorncombe!) and as you say, everyone - exhibitors & visitors alike - seemed to enjoy it. The voting slips gave the "most popular layout" award to Bishopsmead, with Bleadon and Corris close behind. It wasn't you who bought my West Coast Steam book, was it?
