I think you might have to see the exhibition manager and see what he says. After all we don't want any drunken,half deaf ex Ramsbottom festival layabouts littering the place do we. ??

davefrk Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 At least they'll have one GC engine now......I've just finished it!! But Pete, he's asked me for a loan of me Fairburn tank, but it'll only run on nice flat track so with the speed that this layout has had to be built the track will be anything but flat. The Fairburn has been driven over 1mm matchsticks and has been witnessed doing such but GC track was notorious.... TFIC Dave Franks Me Gentle???? No chance....

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted September 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2012 Now Tony you know you and Ken are always up for a challenge and you have had since last November. :no: What are you doing for Next Year ? I can 100% guarantee that you won't have a new layout from us for next year, or the year after etc. No room left for new layouts and no plans/ideas/dreams at all in the pipeline. So if you want us there, it will have to be with one of the 9 EM layouts we already have or as a demo. If we had enough stock and operators, plus a big enough vehicle and a couple of days to set them all up, we could possibly do the whole show for you. Our efforts over the coming months/years will be very much on finishing some of the half done jobs we have on the go, including getting a certain old GCR layout running again. One thing I do want to do is to do a "proper" job on Mansfield Market Place. I am pleased with the way it is looking so far and can see the potential it has, especially if it is being run with a full set of correct period GCR locos and stock. We have 7 locos already (including Pete's latest) plus a few more on the way. "Valour" on a 7 coach rake anybody? One day..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekEm8 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Just In case I don't get on RMWeb tomorrow night. Please come and say hello and perhaps I can put some more names to Faces/Avatars. I'll be the bespectacled,grey haired,bearded delicate little chap with the managers badge on probably looking a bit pensive for a while. But as can be attested by many on here I do like a good chat. As can be seen by many of the above posts many RMWeb members will be in residence all weekend so say hello! Talking to operators, demonstrators and traders (and parting with cash to them) (the traders that is) is positively encouraged at expoEM North Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted September 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2012 Well, considering the state the layout was in a couple of weeks ago (almost non existent) we are just about ready to go. A couple of jobs for the morning, such as marking the position of the uncoupling magnets and adding the figures that my girls have painted for me today and we have got where we are going to get to! I hope the layout performs well and at least gives an idea as to what it will look like when more is done. I expected to be bouncing off the ceiling by now but I am genuinely quite relaxed and looking forward to the weekend. It is always a thrill exhibiting a new layout for the first time and knowing this is the last time that will happen, for the foreseeable future, I am determined to be totally chilled about the whole thing. After all, it is only a model railway and as I have often said before I show, I am here to enjoy myself and there is nothing that anybody can say or do to spoil it............... And that is not a challenge to Messrs Franks, Evans, Belfield, Jackson or any other silly beggar that thinks that they want to try! Here's to a good one!
