Theakerr Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just got back from above (475km). Excellent. A good number of layouts (including an S and O), all to a high standard. Good selection of vendors. Any folks living in the centre of the Universe and near planet orbit who have not included it in there weekend schedule should try to get there tomorrow. Well done Platelayers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted April 29, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2012 On behalf of the club, Thank you. We seem to have had a pretty good turnout today. The water boilers are threatening to change from alcohol to coal firing for tomorrow. I managed to get the windows glued on in RM signalbox I'm building as a demo.

davknigh Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 As a aside, it should be known that BR60103 of this parish did not initiate or instigate any lynchings at this show, yet..... Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium OnTheBranchline Posted April 29, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2012 I thought it was a pretty good show. There were three top notch layouts in particular and some very nice and helpful people to talk to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickybtrains Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I enjoyed the show. Must say it was the best ever. It helped that our layout Ardleigh Bitton was voted The People Choice Award...

Adrian Wintle Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 We also had a good time with Bridge Street, running a mix of stock from many eras (the young children seemed to like te Pendelino the best), We had the Live Steam out for a bit, as well as some DCC sound, although most of the running was regular DC. Children were entertained by being allowed to shunt in the yard with Thomas and by the operation of the container crane. It was a good show, the exhibitors, organizers, and vendors I spoke to all seemed happy. Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davknigh Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 A few pics from the show for your enjoyment (hopefully). Layouts not included were due to the lack of quality of my photos rather than any reflection on the quality of the layouts Cheers, David General views of the arena Specific layouts More to come!

GreenDiesel Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 My son & I really enjoyed this show. I thought all of the layouts were very well done. I was there for about 4 hours on the Saturday and still didn't have a chance to take everything in. I know I missed some good stuff that the vendors were selling but then that's probably better for my pocketbook! I took several pics as well -- might try to post some in due course. When I have my son with me, I can never linger for too long at one layout or vendor! At most Canadian train shows, I'm delighted if I can find one or two tables selling British model items -- to have so many British sellers together in one arena was almost overwhelming! The show seemed very well attended with a pretty good mix of age groups. We really enjoyed watching the live steam models and we thought the O-gauge layout was pretty cool too. And I always enjoy seeing the Hornby Dublo layout. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I've just posted some pics and videos of the show on our website, British Model Railway Club of Montreal, http://bmrcm.org/photos-video-from-the-great-british-train-show-2012 I also took the opportunity to update the articles in the Tips&Tricks section of the website.
