Administrators Phil Parker Posted January 8, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2013 Construction of Hornby Magazine's 7mm scale layout "Clayhanger Yard" continues with some test running of trains. By the time the layout appears as a "work in progress" at the show, I hope to have rather more sophisticated control in place! Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Robin, I'm sure from the show's point of view we're delighted to have Phil, but it does seem a little harsh calling him a dinosaur. ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidHewett Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 To clarify on credit/debit card payments. The facility is for exhibition entry and LWMRS second hand stall purchase. All other purchases from traders etc please check with the people concerned. Hope to see many of you next weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Congratulations to Mike Kelly on an excellent five pages in the Layout Focus section in the latest (February) BRM on his Cromer OO Gauge layout. The article gives an excellent description of the thoughts behind the layout, as well as some lovely photos by Paul Bason. Cromer 2008 will be stand 62 at the LWMRS exhibition this weekend.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 14, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2013 Looking forward to this weekend. Got a few things to add to the layout in the next few evrnings. Snow now forecast for our area this Friday so will be watching the weather as we have a very early start Saturday. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Ian, We'll be keeping an eye on the weather around here too and posting updates here, on our website, and on our Facebook page. I'm looking forward to seeing Roundhouse this weekend - stand 61, just next to the aforementioned Cromer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 14, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2013 The weather has never stopped us so far so fingers crossed. We have a contingency plan in place aswell depending on what happens. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coombe Barton Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 And the NAC themselves need a mention - two-three years ago there were ten foot high piles of snow where they'd scraped it - we could still get in/out easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Absolutely - three years back when the conditions were far worse than so far, or than expected this week, they did a very fine job of making sure the site was accessible and safe.

DavidHewett Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 There appears to have been some confusion over whether GreenScene are attending. To clear this up they are definitely attending as usual. We look forward to greeting them and all our regular and new traders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 To help with planning your visit to the exhibition, here's the floorplan. ...and here's the key to it. For those of you who have attended in the past three years. the hall we previously used was in the same building, off the bottom left corner of the diagram. The restaurant shown on the diagram is the same one as in previous years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidHewett Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Latham's Brewery layout will not be attending this weekend. A substitute layout called GARN OO9 will take its place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Phil Parker Posted January 16, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2013 More details for GARN can be found on the original builders website: http://unnycoombelala.blogspot.co.uk/p/garn-009.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Is Leamington show moved a week it used to clash with St Albans, and I managed to visit for the first time last year, and I thought I may pop up this year but the forcast for bad snow on Friday I may stay local.

DavidHewett Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We did move the show last year to avoid the clash with St Albans. This year is the same - St Albans was last weekend! We are all fingers crossed for a typical British change to the changing weather. Hope you decide to and can make it. Don't forget there is the bus service from Leamington Station to the exhibition.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2013 Some work is being carried out on 'Roundhouse' in preparation for the weekend. A new loco lifting crane was weathered this morning and tonight will be glued in place plus a few other details to do. Tomorrow night we load ready for an early morning start on Saturday. As long as my operators can get to us from mid Sussex we will be starting the journey. Luckily we have to cross over the M25 at the bottom of a steep hill on the motorway before joining it so that will give us a good indication of the carriageway if the snow is really bad. Luckily it's virtually motorway all the way for us, so as long as the M25 and M40 remain open then we will be there with the layout. Might just replace the clip on cooling fans with a shovel though!

OldNick Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Luckily it's virtually motorway all the way for us, so as long as the M25 and M40 remain open then we will be there with the layout. When you get to this end of the journey, the A46 up from the M40 junction 15 is virtually motorway standard too. That just leaves the last couple of miles (A452, B4113) from the Kenilworth turn on the A46 to the showground. These are just across and up the very flat Avon valley, and when we've had snow and ice at the exhibition time before these roads have been fine. We're planning to post local road reports on here, on our website, and on our Facebook page. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruffalo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Good luck, hope it is another success. Unfortunately I won't be able to get there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidHewett Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks for your best wishes. All clubs that run their exhibitions during these early months of the year are at the mercy of the weather. We keep our fingers crossed that all are not affected too badly. Look forward to seeing you. Best wishes Dave and the expo team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
