EE 8SVT Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hi to everyone, This will probably be my last post RE: Railex, for the next few days, as I will be driving up to Butterley in the next half hour. Car is now doing an impression of a Ford Transit, rather than a Fiesta, with all the Show Guides loaded! Look forward to meeting and having a chat, with all the Traders, Exhibitors and Visitors of course. This weekend promises to be a great weekend, so if you can make either day, I am sure you will find something of interest. Car Parking at Butterley is free and Marshall's will be on hand to assist and direct you, if you can car share, please do so, as this will help, we have 650 spaces available. If you want details on how to find Butterley Station , or on the available Public Transport options, visit WWW.midlandrailex.co.uk or look further up this thread. The Midland Railway Trust and the Railex Team, look forward to welcoming all visitors, over the weekend. Cheers for now.

sixteen 12by 10s Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 as a regular working member at the railway, i can report that the area has its own "micro climate" so as we all know, it will be bright and sunny for the two days Good luck Steve and the crew, i am missing this years event as an exhibitor, but if you look for a big bloke by 37190, you just might find me on Sunday.

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted August 16, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 16, 2013 Not sure about rain, it was bone dry and very humid when we set up Diesels in the Duchy. Nice to see some of the usual faces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted August 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 16, 2013 The M25 was much as expected.. Shut! Well part of it was so the queues tailed back for some way. So a bit of a detour. Now on our way to our overnight stop and will complete the rest of the journey in the morning. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted August 17, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 17, 2013 Morning all. I can report that the sun is shining, palm trees swaying and waves gently lapping on to the beach...no hang on, that's the picture on the hotel wall. Looking out of the window it looks slightly overcast but there's no rain, fog, high winds or snow... Be sure to come and see Subbies caravans on Diesels in the Duchy.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted August 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2013 Subbies ??? Too much falling down water last night, or was it lack of sleep due to nightmares about OG's failed elastic ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr.king Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 With too little time to get organised for a visit on Saturday, after a busy week at work, I've "bravely" delayed my visit until Sunday. This gives me the opportunity to prepare myself for tomorrow by asking any of today's paying visitors (not exhibitors or organisers please) what experience they've had of the parking arrangements, and what time they arrived. So was it a doddle or a nightmare? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just returned from the show, parked no problems encountered very well stewarded although I must say that the attendance appeared to be quite a bit down on last year, has the weather put people off or the scare story of possible parking problems had an affect?

DITD was the standout layout for me - simply superb! Enjoy your visit tomorrow. Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted August 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2013 We arrived at our overnight stop last night. Went to move the car and it wouldnt start. I had fears that we werent going to make the show and would be taking the car with Banbury back home on a recovery vehicle. Luckily the car did start this morning without assistance and we are now here and had a good day today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ngtrains.com Posted August 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well that turned out rather well....... Yesterday all was looking a bit grim - bad leg playing up, everything taking longer to do, car taking forever to load and a major attach of CBA getting in the way - it was looking like we weren't going to make it. Smart move was to give up on any idea of arriving to set up on Friday evening. Things immediately became a lot more leisurely. Arrived in good time this morning at the Narrow Gauge shed and were welcomed with a brew and help unloading. All set up on time and ready for customers. (had to wait for a quiet moment to leave the stand and take the picture) Day 1 has been an OK day. Seen plenty of familiar faces and relieved a few of them of some cash they'd would only have wasted on something else. I think today was a bit quieter than last year but I don't know if it was because of fears from last years parking worries or the Weathermans threat of it supposedly tipping it down today (it didn't). Finished the day off with a staff trip on the Narrow Gauge Railway. Didn't stay for the other entertainments as the wonky leg was hinting big tiome that it had done enough for the day Hopefully I'll see a lot more of you tomorrow - even the weatherbloke says its a good day to come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
