paddingtonpaul Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Erith 2014 takes place over the weekend of 25th & 26th January. Exhibition features 29 layouts in all gauges and scales (including Graubundenbahn a Swiss layout that actually comes from Holland). As usual full trade support plus an increased number of demonstrations stands this year. Entry prices remain unchanged at £6 for an adult, £5 concession and £3 for children (family tickets also available) Also back this year is the Foxley Service Centre - so why not bring along any locos that need attention for a service.

bbishop Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 A good show for the Continental enthusiast. As well as Graubundenbahn in HOm, there is also Antwerpen in HO, RheingauZ in Z and Höchstädt in Spur Null (Gauge O). The latter has a thread on RMWeb.

corax67 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Talking about this in church this morning - going as a visitor rather than an exhibitor this year - always an impressive show and I'd encourage anyone to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbishop Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Work progresses on Höchstädt. The main boards aren't finished: basically I stopped laying Hydrofibre on the main boards at the weekend, because it takes a while to fix itself. Carried on later on the front boards, because they will be laid flat in Nick's car. At the moment I have board 11 drying out beside a radiator whilst I'm fitting catches to boards 16 - 18. Anyway, come and have a look at progress at the weekend. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 For anyone planning to travel by train to this show, there is bad news, as there is engineering works between Plumstead & Dartford both days. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbishop Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 An option for travellers from London would be to catch the 180 bus from Woolwich Arsenal (walk down to Plumstead Road) or from Plumstead (again Plumstead Road). The 180 stops outside the exhibition. Travellers from the east probably need to catch the replacement bus service to Abbey Wood, then catch the 180 bus; or alternatively take a train to Bexleyheath and catch the B11 to the exhibition. Or cycle. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasatcopthorne Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi Guys Hatton Gill is all packed up and ready to roll in the morning. Looking forward to a great weekend. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbishop Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm home from setting up Höchstädt . However there are some superb layouts set up for your delectation, including Antwerpen Oostkaai, Kirby Stephen West, Pendennis, Rolt Street and Graubunebahn - the latter being a Swiss layout brought over from The Netherlands. Of course, there are other layouts coming tomorrow. Definitely worth coming to. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasatcopthorne Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 We've done our first day and very successful it was. (Harton Gill). Good all round show. Nice bacon bagettes for brekkie. Give it a look in. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan452 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Very much enjoyed Antwerpen Oostkaai including the former Amsterdam to Brusssels push pull set (SNCB Class 11 + Nederlandse Spoorwegen coaches), the SNCF Alstom Prima, the modern trams (apart from when they derailed!), and in particular the cameo of the cyclist being attended to by a paramedic alongside the bent remains of his bike (presumably the adjacent coach was the culprit).

RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted January 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2014 Great day at the shows. Back home rather wet having got soaked in the thunderstorm trying the find the Replacement Bus Service at Abbey Wood Station (which was not that near to the station!!) to get me to Dartford and home to the coast via HS1. Really enjoyed the show having spent most of my time on the fiddle yard on Hochstadt - funny but seem to get more enjoyment organising trains in the fiddle yard rather than driving the trains or changing the points....... There were some great layouts at the show but particularly liked Harton Gill, layout I've wanted to see for sometime. Antwerpen Oostkaai came a close second. Anybody want a good day tomorrow, get yourselves down to Erith......... Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasatcopthorne Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Harton Gill. Well, Erith guys, thanks for a great weekend. Very enjoyable.
