RMweb Gold queensquare Posted April 11, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 11, 2013 Looking forward to this - missionary work for the 2mm Scale Association! We will be running Highbury c.1920 for one of the days, hopefully using North Somerset Light Railway stock to reflect the Colonel Stephens theme and c.1970 with grubby diseasels on the other. As usual with Highbury, we won't be getting too bogged down with prototypical accuracy, particularly as we are there to showcase the scale. I used to go to Expo -EM regularly with a couple of local 4mm modelling friends but haven't been for a few years now. If its as good as it used to be it should be a cracking weekend. We had Maidstone Road and Rolvendon at Camrail a couple of years ago and I am a big fan of both so looking forward to seeing them both again Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyb208 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Great looking Expo EM 2013 Graeme! Some very good layouts attending and a wide selection of traders relevant to finescale modelling. Weekend can't come soon enough! Regards, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted April 24, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2013 Worth a mention on here is the Demo being presented for the first time by Mick Moore and Vincent Worthington. Having had a bit of an insight into their approach to modelling, I think that it will be a real hit and will certainly raise a few eyebrows. Basically (look away all those who think that lathes and milling machines are the work of the devil!) it is all about the use of machine tools in model railways. Not only for the direct manufacture of components but also for making jigs to aid construction jobs. Some of the gadgets and gizmos are real works of engineering art, as well as being extremely effective. Some of the items on display are jigs and aids that were made without machine tools too, just in case anybody feels left out. As for our contribution this year, work proceeds apace on Mansfield but it will still be very much work in progress. As this is likely to be the last exhibition layout Ken and I build (for the foreseeable future anyway..... never say never and all that!) we are not rushing to finish it as we usually do. Instead, we are taking our time, for once, and trying to do a "proper job" rather than just seeing what we can get away with in a hurry. We have basically run out of room for more layouts and have decided to spend the next part of our modelling career finishing half done layouts and other projects. Mansfield Market Place is fully operational and some of the scenic work is no longer in the "mock up" form we had at EXPO EM North last year but there is still much to do, especially by way of authentic stock. Much will be on loan from other layouts this time out. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiedog Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I understand that this will be David Geen's last time at ExpoEM and also that he is no longer going to Scaleforum (oops should not mention the two together !!!), so this will be the last time for those of you "down south" to buy from him in person.

Gee Vee Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi Graeme, should exhibitors have had their pack yet? Jerry Busy couple of weeks at work but yes you should have got the final instructions by now. Programme being finalised now and will post link once it is available on www.emgs.org I will also post a map to the overflow car park. The leisure centre car park always seem just big enough but I am always hopeful of getting a few more bodies thro the door.. so if you've never been then come along - we have some of the top modellers in the country in attendance and (virtually) no mums dads and kids cos its only advertised in the model press. two weeks time and it will all be over for another year....
