salmonpastures Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 In response to "crisisrails" initial enquiry am pretty sure Barrow Hill Live is taking place on September 28th and 29th 2013. As I sent off all the "invite blurbs" back to Dave the exhibition manager last week. They are celebrating 160 years of Doncaster!!! And some things really are worth celebrating. Please come along and say hello. SAD and everyone at Salmon Pastures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeR BR (WR) Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I for one will be supporting the new Barrow Hill event. It's very disappointing (as an MR subscriber) that MR have abandoned Barrow Hill, as it gave the event a unique selling point and making it stand out from every other model railway show. No doubt the Newark venue will be perfectly functional (a smaller Warley) but sadly lacking in the wonderful atmosphere and variety of railway experiences that you got at Barrow Hill, from restored signal boxes to live steam. Looking forward to celebrating Doncaster's enormous railway heritage at the end of September. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike J Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 With just a week to go, it would be nice to know if we are going to get any RMWebbers visiting us at the Pastures. North of England Line is attending, so I will pop by and say hello. Not seen Salmon Pastures before, the photos above have whetted my appetite, so I'm looking forward to seeing the layout. If anyone is exhibiting here for the first time, remember it is a working shed and conditions are dirty, floors are uneven, and temperatures can vary considerably. Don't let this spoil what is a unique atmosphere, but be prepared! (We threw our behind the layout carpet away after last years event as it was ruined) Anyone wishing to stop by for a chat will be most welcome. Edit; The layout is listed in some cases as Scarworth Junction by Mike Johnson. To be pedantic, the full name is The North of England Line - Scarworth Junction, and has been built and operated by a team of which I am just one member. (North of England Line 2, name to be decided is currently well into the building stage) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(North of England Line 2, name to be decided is currently well into the building stage) We took Deepcar only a couple of years after it first (re)-opened. Early December, it was a bit on the cool side (can't find an eskimo smiley!) There was a Jubilee in steam all weekend, the air was very damp. The floor was as well, so the years of accumulated gunge got everywhere!. The layout acted like a sponge in the damp, we're sure we didn't have soft scenery when we arrived! Nonetheless a thoroughly enjoyable weekend, the layout recovered although one of our end packing boards still has the stains from the floor on it. We're in the DPS shed this time, a much cleaner place, being relatively new, we took Carstairs there some years ago. See you all next weekend, getting ready for Newark now.

gr.king Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I have specific reasons for going, including full size LNER locos, a friend's LNER layout, an item to deliver, and a burning desire to scrutinise certain pre-production LNER loco models, so I shall be there, although £13 admission is about as much as my wallet will stand without outright rebellion. £10 admission to Newark yesterday was eye-wateringly painful.

Many thanks for that Mike J We look forward to seeing you there,,, I will arrange some suitable packing just in case we are on an uneven floor,,, although looking at all the bumph which has arrived we appear to be in another building not the shed,,, whatever,,, it should be a "cracking" atmosphere. I'm impressed with a behind layout carpet!!!!! very plush. Just can't imagine what we are going to do with ourselves in the evenings,,,, hundreds of miles from home!!!!

Alexa Stott Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 My very first post on RMweb so please bear with me while I get the hang of things! I'm posting on behalf of the Barrow Hill Live team here at the Roundhouse so if you've got any questions about this weekend's event, please post them on here and I'll do my best to answer them. Just reading through some of the comments already posted, the layouts are not in the Roundhouse: live steam and delicate models don't mix that well! We have a separate building dedicated to the layouts. We also have several modelling demonstrations in another area and a traders and sponsors marquee. And of course - and what makes us a bit different to your usual model show - an awful lot of 12" to the foot layout with steam hauled passenger trains, brake van rides and a comprehensive representation of locos with links to the Doncaster plant in its 160th year. Also on site, plenty of food and drink including a real ale bar (think that will be popular with some!), children's activities, a miniature ride on train and - for those who have come by car and who want to travel over some rare track - why not take a trip in the East Midlands Trains shuttle down to Chesterfield! Ample free parking and also a free bus service from Chesterfield Railway Station. You can find all this information and more on our website www.barrowhill.org or by following us on Facebook (Barrow Hill Roundhouse Railway Centre) and Twitter (@barrowhill41).

gr.king Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 If only I could avail myself unreservedly of the real ales. No chance though - I'd be asleep for most of the afternoon and in need of a driver to get me back home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2750 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Oh sod it! After a few model railway exhibitions these past few weeks, I was going to pass on Barrow Hill. But it wouldn't do my new car any harm to give it a good run in tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr.king Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Must be a secret traders list then? Still, at least the event itself was advertised. Caistor model railway exhibition, next weekend I gather, is normally a good little show but seems to be totally under wraps this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
