RMweb Premium OnTheBranchline Posted September 25, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 25, 2013 This will be something for us North Americans to look forward to. The last event in 2012 was the first time I went to this event and I immensely enjoyed myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted September 25, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 25, 2013 The date is a weekend later than before but it means that the ice will have been out for a week and a half and the floor will be that much warmer. May 3&4 2014 Jim Archdekin Rec Centre, 292 Conestoga Dr. Brampton, Ont. Saturday 10:00-5:00 Sunday 10:00-4:00 Adults $10, Children $5, Family of 4 $20. http://www.theplatelayers.org/gbts2014/2014flyer.html I claim it as the biggest and best all-British train show in North America.

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted December 19, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 19, 2013 The show manager says that the arena's food concession is no longer operating. We are looking into alternatives. Apparently, they also got rid of the coffee urns that we used to use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted March 16, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 16, 2014 I got the "final" floor plan and list today. It lists 29 vendors and 24 exhibitors and layouts. I think there are 20 layouts, just based on the size of space. I think there are 2 demonstrators, one of them me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium OnTheBranchline Posted March 25, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2014 Sounds good. Just out of curiosity, how big was the show in 2012 as a comparative? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the same -- we're packed into the same space and we're at capacity.

sjgardiner Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 So how have you managed to do any modelling? On the British side of my modelling activities, mostly a few kits i picked up on trips to the UK in 2008, 2009 and 2011. Most of what I've been working on in the past few years has been North American outline stuff in relation to the Toronto Railway Museum, but i have a couple of long backburnered UK projects that are finally nearing the forefront as things I'd like to actually do!
