Jeremy Davison Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Greig, I'm looking forward to seeing Poulton-le-Fylde again, I enjoyed it at Perth when I was there with Blackmill. Are you going to go a short way down the tracks to see Poulton whilst you are down at Preston? Cheers Jeremy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5050 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Good lineup of layouts but, at the risk of being called pedantic, Steve Hall's layout is KING Cross, there is no S. Nothing whatsoever to do with the large station in London but everything to do with a real district of Halifax. He will undoubtedly tell you himself because if he had a quid for everytime it has been wrongly spelled etc. etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jeremy Thanks Jeremy, I think I will have to take a trip down to the actual Poulton-le-Fylde station to have a look around, it would be silly not to with it being so close Hope final show prep is going well and shall see you all in a couple of weeks Greig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I owe him a pound! Now fixed here on the forum and it is definitely right in the Show Guide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Davison Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Oh well, another show competed, Bee Lane now back in the clubhouse (not on the bonfire as some club members have suggested! ). Hope everyone who came, enjoyed the show. I personally thought that there were some really good layouts there this year and managed to get a little time to see some of them and talk to the operators. Until next year..... Cheers Jeremy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Permit has been obtained from the House Controller! Well, we (3 of us) got there (via Brock to view a car!) and we thought it was a good show. Some nice layouts ( I especially liked Wellbridge) and some useful traders. I came away with a light wallet and a heavy bag. However (there's always one of them isn't there!) there wasn't any signage that I saw showing the way into the hall from the far reaches of the car park so we (and several others) wandered about a bit before someone who had been before showed us the way. Also, in the cafe, there were no prices that I saw on display and no distinction between exhibitors and public serving points. Just little things which can enhance the visiting experience (to use PR speak). They won't stop me coming again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long island jack Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 layout home safe and well, just a couple of couplers to fix before it's next outing. Thanks to Les and his crew for a great weekend, there were some cracking layouts there this year, also plenty of interested punters asking questions about 59th and Rust and the Darkside, which is always a bonus, even had one guy taking photo's of the underneath of the layout!! Here's to the next time! Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Shedman5 Posted March 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2015 I enjoyed it and yes I would agree there were some really good layouts this year much to my delight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Mac Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 What a fantastic show and a brilliant weekend overall, thoroughly enjoyed it with many excellent layouts. On behalf of the Poulton-le-Fylde layout team I would like to thank Les and the Preston club for putting on a great show, lots of interest in the layout including one Gentleman who use to work at the full size station.
