Andy Y Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 A big thank you me to Rich and Steve for the invite this year and the team for their hospitality although I didn't get to hire a glass....... A very enjoyable event with excellent quality in the mix. My purpose for being that was a photography/photoshop demo; not that there was much of it due too much yakking as usual but I did take the opportunity to grab a teaser of just how good Kier's 'Hornsey' is going to be... For those who've not come across it Hornsey can be found here http://www.rmweb.co....rnsey-broadway/ and here http://www.emgauge70...ut_hornsey.html. Those who like Wibdenshaw will love this. A couple of snaps of Rob's 'Pallet Lane'. Steve Harrod says he doesn't make diesels this big. Deezels Bill and Mike look into Villier Street displayed by Ian Manderson. Rich's 'Bad Horn' Sometimes running the second hand stall gets a bit much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted August 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2012 Great pictures and a great show - thanks all SWMBO well impressed by Highbury Colliery - wants to see her layout developed along similar lines Personal favourite Parkend - cant wait to see that again, we were there a month ago on our own charter train. Dapol N gauge 22s will go a treat on there.... Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted August 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2012 Sat in the caravan having a little whiskey after an excellent Indian which rounds off a cracking day. As others have said a very enjoyable show, many thanks to all involved. I do like these small events, friendly, informal and with some great modelling and company. I didn't take many pics but thanks to those who have posted some of Highbury on its first outing in diesel mode. It won't be the last time although Kim remains to be convinced!!

RMweb Premium 65179 Posted August 4, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 4, 2012 A big thanks to everyone for a great little show.

RMweb Gold TomE Posted August 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2012 Thanks everyone for a fantastic day in Cheltenham! Will certainly be be visiting again, a really lovely little show! Just to reassure people, Highbury wasn't all diesels, rumor has it a WD with extra thick wheels made an appearance earlier in the day Tom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
moristoat Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 A huge thanks to all the exhibitors and traders that made Stormex a great day again this year. We've learnt a few more lessons I think this time round, and numbers were down on the door but I don't think it disappointed and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. My job is done with this one now, and in Olympic style I pass the Stormex flame over to Andrew Vale and Pixie to begin the process all over again for next time. Roll on Stormex 2013! Over and out.

RMweb Premium DavidLong Posted August 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2012 Any pics of Parkend? Was it there or was it just a rumour? David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Any pics of Parkend? Just the one from me. Pixie had painted the boards and trackbed to smarten it up with some useful annotations scribbled on the boards with accompanying images. Lovely trackwork and nice presentation of a WIP.

Thanks, Andy. Unusual collection of motive power for Parkend. I think the local DCE may have a comment or two about axle loads. :-) David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hello Thanks for a very enjoyable day out, well worth the hazardous trip over the mountains of the Cotswolds. Nice to see so many old friends and indeed some new ones. Nice to see Pallet Lane in the flesh for the first time and to see Parkend in it's infancy; always interesting to see a layout progressing and how it takes shape. A big thank-you to all the layout owners for their wonderful efforts and to the demoers for showing how it is done; maybe I'll learn a bit someday. As the wrecking crew behaved themselves so well I think I will bring them out again next year as lomg their parole orders are still in order. Well done!

Pugsley Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 It was my first time attending this year, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable day. All told, I spent some 5 hours there, mostly talking to people about everything and nothing! I'll make sure that next year's event goes in the diary.

Taigatrommel Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 A lovely event for Bad Horn's northern hemisphere debut. It behaved well, I found a very capable volunteer operator and generally had nothing to cause me stress. Great day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2mm Andy Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I asked 'Pixie' Steve the same question a month or two ago and he told me that the guys were having a break from organising a show this year. Hopefully one of the team will be able to confirm that. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
