It'll probably be it's only trip south of the Thames, as I don't envisage having much time to exhibit it from next year onwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of the members have already booked out time to take photos so that shouldn't be a problem. Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Inverness might be better for Jack, (what Ryanair call London Inverness). Some of the routings are interesting, there are direct flights but one booking took me on a Gatwick-Edinburgh-Belfast-Inverness route.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted September 20, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 20, 2013 Only one day to go for the show. On Santa Barbara we are hoping to run older SP and Rio Grande locos along with Amtrak phaseIII then slowly change the motive power to newer UP and Amtrak ones during the course of the show.

298 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I think I've got everything packed up (except the kitchen sink) and it's all ready to go in the car in preparation to face the M25 at rush hour. I've also nearly finished something to play with on Wiley City, I have had a total of three NWSL Master Units for quite a while but have been hesitant to paint them as there is some uncertanty regarding the correct colours as the preserved ones carry lighter colours than when in service. I ended up matching the cream and green to those on the Custom Traxx decal set. It is in late 30's condition so will only be making brief appearances as the plan is to operate the layout in the more popular 80's condition.

Good to see you today and have a chat. Some excellent layouts from the dark side including a superb HOn3 layout. A fairly local show for us so an easy run home. Good luck 298 with the journey home. Now relaxing with a rather nice pint or two. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbonnetuk Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 To any RMwebers that attended the show today (visitor or exhibitor) a big thank you for supporting the show and making it a great event Cheers Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Good luck 298 with the journey home. Now relaxing with a rather nice pint or two. Ian Not a bad run home, I arrived back about half an hour ago (which was probably before some club members had finished their day) to find the kids hadn't actually run Mrs 298 ragged- although she wasn't too impressed when I told her the list of exotic locations i'd handed details to. Thankyou to the Seaboard Southern members for organizing the event, I hope it was a success. From an exhibiting point of view it did seem to be more of a general show, perhaps "darker than darkside" traction modelling needs more if an introduction...

DaveB Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks to Dan and the team for a really great day with Falcon Lake. Met many interesting people and had a brief look round the other layouts. A real friendly show - put me down for next year please Dan Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 It was nice to see such a variety of North American layouts and such a high standard. I am not normally a fan of smaller layouts but there were some real gems and the operating really brought them to life. It would appear that the North American signals I made for the Signalist decoder demo (on the Coastal DCC stand) were quite popular. I will have to find a way of mass producing them! I did not realise that ready made signals are so hard to come by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted September 21, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 21, 2013 Good to see you today and have a chat. Some excellent layouts from the dark side including a superb HOn3 layout. It was indeed... It was a really enjoyable little show, with a uniformly high standard of layouts; well worth a visit. I made my customary trip around the show with my camera; a few pictures below... Falcon Lake Godinez Stout Oak IA Wiley City Sawpit Creek Modular Layout Norton & Northern Santa Barbara St Marks Yard Only Railroad Crossing is missing...not sure why I missed that one. My journey to the dark side was compounded by the purchase of three Atlas boxcars (all 1950s/60s era) plus an Accurail kit for a 40' steel reefer. I sense a slippery slope being encountered here!
