RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted January 19, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2012 I've just updated the Showcase with some of the confirmed layouts for Showcase as follows: Brenton Midland - OO FS, 2000 - present day Connaught Road Georgemas Junction - OO, 1997-2004, Scotland (Far North Line) Kinlet Wharf - N, West Coast Mainline Leavesden (Kent) - O, late 1980s - early 1990s, Network South East 3rd rail. Leavesden is a fictious location on the outskirts of Biggin Hill and is the station serving Biggin Hill International airport. There are four platforms which are served by various electric units. 40 ft x 2 ft 6 Newhaven Harbour - OO, mid-1970s, BR Southern Region Parkhouse - N, 1977-1979, BR Blue in North Staffordshire Warren Lane - OO, 2005 - 2009 Freightliner Terminal by Alan Bevan and Maggie Clark. An OO gauge freightliner terminal, set in East Anglia with two working Gantry cranes. www.warrenlane.co.uk Waterloo Street - P4, BR Blue late 1970s - early 1980s. Waterloo Street is inspired by the Waterloo Goods branch in Aberdeen. Waton - N, present day. Based loosely on Water Orton, Waton challenges N gauge conventions with its handbuilt track. Waton was a clear winner in the 2010 RMWeb layout challenge. More details will be posted to the DEMU website as they are confirmed: http://www.demu.org.uk/showcase.php Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyneux Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Less than 2 weeks to go now before DEMU Showcase! We have some good news in that the EM Gauge Society will be taking the space vacated by Parkhouse. As one of the organisers I'm really looking forward to this year's exhibition and hoping it doesn't all go tits up... so please come along!

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 28, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2012 Almost arranged my transport to Burton. Should be there Saturday. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
(The) Youth Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Looking forward to going Saturday, Should be an excellent show by all accounts Not sure how I'll feel though, who decided to hold the show the day after I finish my first year at uni...

lyneux Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks for the support Mick and Simon. I'm looking forward to meeting members who are not just the London Area Group! Please come and say hi if you have a chance. Tonight, Mike and I finished stuffing all the packs for traders and exhibitors and have been chatting over a pint about forthcoming showcases. 2014 is our 20th anniversary as a society and 2015 our 21st. We are keen to do do something special on one or other of these years so please watch this space for announcements. Any ideas about how to make (keep?) Showcase the premier D&E exhibition in the country are very welcome (we've got several!). Guy Showcase 2012 Co-Organiser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Really looking forward to this one Guy. Your line up this year is superb. Warren Lane, Waton, and Outon Road all at one event ticks all the boxes for me. I see you also mention a 3D printing demo? I'm certainly interested in seeing that. As I have a "lads night out" on Friday, it looks like I'll be coming over on Sunday! Hopefully I've recovered by then. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted May 29, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2012 Looking forward to the trip to DEMU with Waton. Today is stock cleaning day. Yeuk! Now a plea for help! Due to the long bank holiday several of my usual operating team are unavailable due to last minute changes to work shifts leaving me short of an operator. I have a spare pair of hands for Saturday but currently I'm on my lonesome for Sunday. If anyone was considering coming along and fancies a day playing trains, albeit very small ones, feel free to PM me. Sunday is the real problem but I can accomodate an extra on Saturday as well if anyone is so inclined. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby (John) Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Almost arranged my transport to Burton. Should be there Saturday.

Sorry - can't make all day...... Don't worry about sound, I'll bring one of my locos that works on analogue. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteScR Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Looking forward to attending Showcase this weekend. It will be the first time since 2006 that I will be able to enjoy the show as a punter and not an organiser. I will be on the Shawplan / EE stand over the weekend with the usual suspects so if you feel in the need to offload some folding stuff with the UK's Premier designer and stockist of Extreme Etches and Laserglaze please come and say hello.

Will J Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I see you also mention a 3D printing demo? I'm certainly interested in seeing that. I'll be there both days pretending to know what I'm doing behind Kinlet Wharf, the show looks excellent. I will bring my box of 3D printed odds and sods, in case they are of interest.. this one, http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/351/entry-9454-shapeways-arrival-class-139-with-windows/ the little Class 139 railcar, will (chassis allowing.. if it behaves) be performing along the branchline along the back of the 'Wharf. See you all at the weekend... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hello As mentioned above Georgemas Jct will be at Showcase this coming weekend and the Wrecking Crew will be on hand to entertain visitors. Sorry no videos of the layout but that is a technology too far for the likes of me; best if you come and see it in the flesh so to speak. This is the layout's last appearance this year so make the most of it also the rest of this wonderful event. Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted May 30, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2012 Something to bear in mind which I haven't seen mentioned yet is that East Staffs Borough Council are now charging to use the car park. I help organise the 7mm Narrow Gauge show the week after DEMU and we have put 'Free Parking' on all of our publicity. I understand that it's a pound or two for a few hours to a maximum of about four pounds. Seems like they want to attract those wanting to use the station over the road. We have managed to secure a number of free tickets for our exhibitors and traders but I'm expecting a lot of moaning from our members Apart from this, I hope you guys (and gals) have a great show - not really my scene though Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'll be there as a kind of 'offical' snapper to take some report pics for the DEMU 'UPDate' magazine, so hope to see you all there. Don't forget to pick up a copy of the ShowCase ShowGuide designed by DEMU and printed by Mortons (Rail Express/Rail Express Modeller). G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyneux Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just going through the final preparations for the show before heading up to Burton tomorrow. If you can make it to Burton, it promises to be a fine show indeed with some of the best contemporary D&E modelling. Despite stewarding and a stint on the door I'm hoping to find time to give a 3D modelling demo in the after-lunch (aka graveyard!) slot. I'm looking forward to meeting some new faces as well as the usual crowd. Please come and say hi! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerces Fobe2 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I do not think that I will make the Show this year after all - due to circumstances beyond my control - Good luck with it anyway Nigel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
