Bigboystoys Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Just spoke to the organiser to confirm we are still on the list !!! Not sure who you spoke to but whoever it was he was definitely confused as I'll be setting up on the Saturday !!! :-) Am working in the evenings like a loony at the moment trying to finish off Severnside in time so nearly fell off my seat when I saw that ! See you all there :-) Cheers, Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's news to me !!!!!! I have the van booked up and ready ! Who exactly did you talk to ? Cheers, Andy Rob Savage (the "evening contact" listed on the website). He wasn't quite sure which one it was that had pulled out because it had been sold apparently - so I read the list of layouts off the website and he said that was the one. I guess he had got it confused with someone else. Will look forward to seeing you there then Had a quick search to remind myself which one was Courtover Town and being a fellow "modern modeller" it's most definitely on my "visit list".

cromptonnut Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 No worries, it's just by then my Heljan 33's sound chip should be back with me and installed, and it would have been nice to have given it a blast on something bigger than the 8ft I currently have for it to run on. It's still unnumbered and unweathered as I wanted to get the sound chip in first before progressing on with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cromptonnut Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Andrew, can you give us a bit more detail about the Buzz Models range? I'm not quite sure what you do by looking at the website, you have one picture of a wagon but four showing in the gallery for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alant Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hoping to attend this one for the first time all being well although have done many Telford's, Ketterings and Readings. Alan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltic17 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Is there a (correct?/up to date) list of the layouts attending anywhere? - assuming the website is incorrect (from comments above) and there have been more recent additions? - could someone from the Bristol show post the latest situation on here?

Kev_Lewis Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'll be there. The Bristol O Gauge show is my favourite model railway event. I went to the last two and they were both excellent. Hopefully I'll be wandering about for most of the day. May well bring 5815 for a run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Evans Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Cromptonnut the Buzz range is Kits, Bits and Accessories. I have a small range of modern wagon kits at the moment but I am getting some new kits on the way. I have had a bad year in 2012 but I hope 2013 is looking better. When it comes to the website I have kicked my webmaster into life and hoping to change the content to show the Buzz Range. If you are coming to Bristol come and say hi.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted January 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2013 Going to pay a visit, had orders to place with Eileen's and Finney, works out cheaper to pick up at the show than to pay postage (and I get to look round the show as an additional benefit) Of course that does expose me to the temptation of 7mm...

steve fay Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 As long as the weather is not as bad as is forecast for South East Wales. I will be there. I will be the one in the red WRU base ball cap. I will be going to see Rob on the Laser craft stand to see about the signal box for Ranelagh. Dropping lightning off to Fred Welsh Wizard Lewis for a re weather. Nice and dirty this time and just having a good look round so see you all there. Hopefully!!!!

cromptonnut Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Certainly a bit concerned about the weather at the moment, not only about getting myself there but whether half the traders/exhibitors won't be able to make it either. I know we can't say for sure what the weather is going to do, the forecast seems to be changing by the hour, but as much as I'd love to get there the thought of being stuck in the snow for hours (or even worse getting to the Travelodge and not being able to get there the next morning) does not fill me with excitement at the moment.

steve fay Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 just been on the BOGG web site. they say they are definitely open on Sunday even if it snows. Still looking out the window at the moment it looks bleak on this side of the water. I too am slightly worried about traders exhibitors making it to the show as I suspect a lot will be travelling down tomorrow. I'm going to keep a check on there web site before I venture out Sunday morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 As always, the motorways will probably be fine but it'll be the small roads from the motorway to the venue that are the problem - hopefully the council will be aware there's an event on and at least give the roads a token gritting. Will have to decide in the morning whether to risk it or not based on the information available to us - will hope to get there if I can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The venue is about a mile from the M32 (junction 1) on the A4174, which is a major dual carriageway. I've just driven on it now and it's fine!

cromptonnut Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 The weather/roads have been changing every 5 minutes so I think I'll have to "Leeroy"* it unless it really does look dreadful. Particularly looking forward to staying at what has been termed "the most windswept and desolate Travelodge in the UK" though... * If you play World of Warcraft, you will understand. If you don't, you probably never will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
