SEM63A Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well, its mid-summer! Raining cats and dogs today and not exactly "flaming" June but a warm welcome is guaranteed inside Dewars Centre. Setting up tomorrow is all arranged and the team will be in the hall from 8.00 tomorrow morning. What better on a rainy weekend but come inside and enjoy the show.

grid56104 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I will be on the Scottish Modellers/DEMU demonstration stand both days and we will be working (among other things) on one of the boards (and the actual loading tower) of my new 'The Maxwell Colliery Loading Point' which makes its debut later in the year at the Ayr Model Railway Show. Any RM Webbers coming along please stop and say hello. Max Fowler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEM63A Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 All set up except for those we expect to arrive tomorrow morning and the rain stayed away! We managed to get a local TV news item run on ITV which will help to publicise the show. Now for a glass of red and to rest my weary feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted June 23, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2012 Excellent show guys.they were queuing to get in.hopefully that's a sign that the show has been well supported despite current economic circumstances.

Waverley47708 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Show seemed to go very well today. We opened early as a result of a long que forming. It stretched all the way from the entrance desk out of the Dewars Centre and into the car park . Was good to see old friends and meet new ones vising from the South Please to report the numbers through the doors were up. Regards Calum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 37 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 This was my first Perth show (thanks Eddie!). If I can make anymore in the future I'd be delighted to come again. Very friendly host club with plenty of time for visitors. I thankfully got to see a layout or two that has been on my viewing list after missing MRS in Febuary. Even managed to catch up with a few of the DEMU guys, because I snuck up on them from behind they had no time to run. lol I'll see you at Ayr! I even met a few new faces. Picked up some very good ideas. I did try my hardest to stay away from the trade stands (sorry lads and lassies) but I already give you too much money online. I did see some fantastic bargains. I don't know if they were better stocked or displayed but the book stands seemed far better than I can recall seeing in other shows. Maybe because they had a lot more titles that are inline with my interests. Who knows? I didn't bring my son to this show but saw many things that he would have loved. The police car outside really did exite all the kids, (even some of the mummy's and daddies judging by expressions). Great day with loads of scales and styles of layouts Well done! I hope tomorrow goes just as well. Best regards, Mark Edit to try correct words and spelling. Bloody predictive text. Aarrrgghhh! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahram Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Superb show once again, just one wee criticism could you make the gangways in future at the entrance of both the bowling green and the ice rink a bit wider, when punters stop at the stalls beside these ramps they block the entry to the show, otherwise brilliant. Definitely the "premier " show in Scotland! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim49 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Glad you enjoyed the show bahram, did you choose to go on Saturday because you knew I was going on Sunday? I was helping(?) set up on Friday so didn't get much time to look about but was impressed by what I did see. As to the width of the aisles at the entrances, nobody else has any bother, maybe it's just you...... Catch up with you sometime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 A good day was had on Cully with Bob65B as my fireman, also assisted by 26Power! Jamie and Dave Frk provided mutual support and abuse where required and the layout performed very well. Only one minor technical emergency occurred whilst Jamie was absent (lying down in a dark room or something), but the 'travelling fitters' took care of it in such away that he wouldn't have known if we hadn't told him! The layout was actually very enjoyable to operate and even my very own 'gorilla hands' soon found it fairly easy to handle. Thanks for a good day at the controls lads! Not only that, but a suitably marked '12A' vehicle was lying over in Perth through the duration of the show, as in days of yore! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted June 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2012 Telephone support for Widnes has cleared a confusion (which the guys thought was a problem) which was blocking the down main, normal service should be resumed ...

Belsay Lad Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Just back to Edinburgh from Perth (partially thanks to the totally unnecessary 40 mpm speed limit on long stretches of the M9/M90!) But, (apart from that) a perfect day! The organisers, exhibitors and trade stands should be proud:- (1) Welcoming staff on the desk (2) Layout operators interacting with the the visitors (3) Space to move about. OK there was the odd pr*t with a rucksack and a some 'whiffies'! but (in my opinion), Glasgow (SECC) definitely need to up the anti if they are going to compete with the above show. I will definitely be at Perth next year. Glasgow well ??? , Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Reid Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Great show. Had the atmosphere of Model Rail of years past - very friendly allround.

Our visitor numbers were up again and I will post more information including the trophy winners soon. Is it too early to say...our next show is on June 29th and 30th 2013?
