shortliner Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Well, there were TWO Miami layouts in one room - Mine and Rogers - though I suspect his was the better of the two! It was definitely influenced by M'sieu Mindheim - but none the worse for that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I had a Christmas card from my niece/Goddaughter saying keep 13th June 2015 free as she is getting married. I said to Liz I wonder what they'd say if I said I already had something pencilled in for that day....... Hence the change of weekend. Families can be so inconsiderate at times....

trisonic Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 How many “others” turned up to visit the show? By that I mean those who are not regulars of either the show or the USA & Canadian section of RMWeb. I wonder whether we are converting anyone to the Dark Side? Best, Pete.

By that I mean those who are not regulars of either the show or the USA & Canadian section of RMWeb. I wonder whether we are converting anyone to the Dark Side? Best, Pete. Difficult to judge. The number of tickets sold was almost identical to previous shows. A lot of familair faces there. Maybe next year we can do some surveys as people come in - have they been before? what is their main interest? etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powercab won't be compatible, but we can sort you out with a throttle, or if you've an Android or I-device that can work....

DanielB Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Ah, I just realised I'm at a airsoft event that weekend for the Lee Rigby charity. Shame, would have loved to come on down to play trains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 There was one VERY "yummy-mummy" there with her little boy - she was watching me uncouple and asked if it would be compatible with his OO - He was about 4, and had been given a Soo Line diesel loco by one of the traders - I had to explain that although they would run on the same track, Kadees and Hornby don't! She decided that she had better get him some "trucks" (sic!) so that he could play when he got home - so I suggested that a trip to the "bring and buy" stall might solve the problem cheaply, and, as far as I know - she got him some there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mog Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Thanks for the photos. Shame I couldn't get again this year :-( Would have been nice to see these layouts in the flesh, and to put a couple of faces to names (eh Jack?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Um, don't the "flipping' Canucks" own the Soo...? Yes, exactly. They were content with 49% for over a Century; then looked to sell their share, but ended up taking over the Soo Line entirely in 1992, when it lost it's seperate identity, & it's locos scattered across CP Rail territory..... Officially, Soo Line no longer exists. The saving grace is that CP Rail doesn't like spending money on repaints, so the Soo colors can still be seen, albeit in ever-advancing stages of rusty decrepitude...
