Thanks for the "bump", Phatbob !

 

Looking forward to seeing these new locos, Roundhouse.

 

Black Cat Technology unfortunately can't make the show, otherwise the list of traders and layouts is up to date.

Branchie... got a couple of Welsh themed exhibits to make you feel at home....or if I've got that wrong...there's a Scottish one instead!!

 

Hope you enjoy the show.

Your first guess was correct!

 

It'll be nice to get to Warrington without having to go to blinkin' ikea!

The last items for ROUNDHOUSE just packed into the car ready for the trip from Surrey.

 

Also managed to get some stock in the car to run on APPLEDORE.

 

I can't remember if I have had two layouts at the same show before. However Appledore is now in the custody of Phatbob who will be setting it up and operating it.

 

Fingers crossed for a good run on the motorway network.

It was a longbday yesterday with work in the morning then queues on the M6 meant that we had to go on A roads.

 

Set the layout up last night then some liquid refreshments.

 

 

Layout running welm.

 

Very nice venue and good food. Many superb layouts so well worth a vist if you are in the area.

Popped along this afternoon for a couple of hours.

 

A very nice mix of layouts and scales, friendly operators with just the one smelly visitor.

 

Well worth the £5 admission and plenty of free parking.

 

For those whose interests lie in the 2mm premier scale, the Ivatt in BR livery and J39s have landed.

I agree. Excellent show, superb layouts, good mix of trade and demos. Friendly and helpful exhibitors and a bright venue especially when the sun shone through the skylights.

There are a few more here re backscenes: #373

 

Thanks to everyone for a great show even bumped into a few friends.

And thanks to the caterers: the cheese on toast in the morning was a brilliant idea.

Well done everyone and thanks for a great day out. 

Excellent job.

Enjoyed to show yesterday, good value admission, plenty of parking, plenty of food available. Good standard across the layouts and bought enough stuff from helpful traders at good prices to justify the cost of getting there. Hornby Mag had Stove R at £5 off if you want to try to fix the chassis!!

Really enjoyed the show - a good mix of eras and scales. Bee Lane was very impressive.

Excellent venue and £5 was good value.

And I promised I wouldn't mention the telegraph pole incident on Roundhouse either ......... ;)

Yep it's still in one piece!

 

You want to see the affect our guts have on the N gauge stock in the fiddle yard on Banbury!!
