sixteen 12by 10s Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ooh what's the advice in there, "Ear defenders to be worn at all times" or "Do not feed the animals?" Yep, that’s about it, a necessary evil of today’s health and safety culture, I have just read the loading and unloading advise, and worked it out that I should have set out for the venue last Saturday to be ready for opening time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Well, 'Alloa' is all packed up and ready to load this afternoon provided Davy remembers to pick up the van.... Long trip for us from Glasgow and we may run out of things to talk about by Lesmahagow (20mls). A new project is in the planning stage and we've now got another room for it so this may be your last chance to see 'Alloa' in the South, 'deep south' to us of-course. Come and say Hallo, we welcome all gauges and flanges. Dave Franks Scottish Region Study Group (ScRSG) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killybegs Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I know the feeling - I'm just around the corner on A58. Stuff is packed and ready - that must be some sort of record for me, as I'm usually prepping for a show up to about midnight the day before............... I'm re-reading the exhibition manual to make sure I haven't missed anything. Cheers, Mick I seem to recall that they are sticklers when it comes to checking your electrics, particularly RCD's.

Mike Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Stand number B74 is on the right hand side of hall 5 almost opposite the toilets. Maybe Warley are trying to tell me something? I'll either be flushed with success or down the proverbial pan or perhaps in lieu of something else!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted November 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2014 It seemed like a good idea at the time, but Eldavo, bibby line, myself and A.N. Other (no, not that one, his brother) are set to do battle with the little wheels of Waton over the weekend. Myself, I"ve been to poundland and bought a pair of + 20 glasses so I can actually see those N gauge thingies...whether this will help operations or not remains to be seen.

bbishop Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just to cheer up those of you who will be at Warley this weekend. 1. I'm giving it a miss this year. 2. There is a stinking cold doing the rounds at the moment, and those of you behind layouts are sitting targets ..... Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2014 , and worked it out that I should have set out for the venue last Saturday to be ready for opening time It's fine in reality I never drive in for breakdown though unless it's raining as it's usually chaos. I talk to the security guards and park in the car park just opposite the doors.

richard brown Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Here one for everyone every year I get a 2 bay tickets and get thier for half 8 in the morning to get what I want but I am think is it better to get thier around 11 and stay to they kick me out. What I want is not in short supply, what do people think. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think you'll get better access to view the layouts if you're prepared to stay until the end Richard and avoid the queue/scrum first thing on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted November 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2014 Still working on Waton but hopefully all will be in order to load up tomorrow morning. Don't forget to stop by stand E16 to chat/hurl abuse/deliver beer. Looking forward to a good weekend of playing trains. Now I better get back to the workshop and repair a manky extension cable.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2014 I seem to recall that they are sticklers when it comes to checking your electrics, particularly RCD's. When we took Blackmill a few years ago, I turned up at the RCD testing station with a brand-new unopened RCD. It failed! Luckily Squires had some on their stand. My local electrical supplier was high on the "things to do when I get home from the exhibition" list. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS1977 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think you'll get better access to view the layouts if you're prepared to stay until the end Richard and avoid the queue/scrum first thing on Saturday. If I arrive at early opening time I usually rush right to the far end and work back - by the time I pass the crowd coming the other way it's usually thinned out a bit. However this time I won't be arriving so early so I need to rethink my strategy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted November 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2014 Don't say that, mine appears to be working at the moment As it's 4 years since I took a layout out I had to hunt hard for my RCD but eventually found it in an unexpected place when I was looking for something else, along with a nut spinner that I'd presumed lost and replaced yesterday.

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted November 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2014 Getting together the final bits and pieces before off to pick up Ray, then we can load Orchard Road into the car. I also use a RCD at all exhibitions, so always left in my box of bits for the layout. Looking forward to the weekend, first time with my own layout, but have previously been both as a visitor and helping on a couple of layouts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just managed to break the glass in the display panel, need to replace with clear acrylic once we set up."Pickles" as they say whoever they are. Oh the joys of loading layouts into the car. Will have a couple of 0 gauge GWR Panniers for sale at £275 and £325 if anyone is interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
