St. Simon Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hi, Will be there helping with Fisherton Sarum, it'll be a bit weird exhibiting with someone else's layout rather than my own! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Looking forwards to the show and the cakes. Cakes!!! Now that's a very good reason for going to Risex, they are superb!!! Layouts are usually great but cakes put the icing on the show. (Yes we do need a "groan" button) John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted February 10, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2015 Fisherton Sarum www.fishertonsarum.com will be be making its first of three exhibition appearances for this year at this show. It will be the closest show it has ever attended as I can probably hit the community centre with a lump of steam coal thrown from my front door from my slightly lofty position on the Chiltern Hills escarpment. Look forward to seeing everyone there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 At Risex will be Geoff Williams model of Aylesbury station which will only be one of two showings the other being Railex 2016. The model will be in its full 30 feet length, and will have the backscene and townscene which are missing from the photos. Last night I saw the layout assembled in it full form and although I have seen photos in the past the whole thing just blew me away. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenrithBeacon Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Experience suggests that the joint is so packed that it's best to forget refreshments. Still, I'll be there pm Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebell Model Railway Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Shame I cannot make it today, was looking forward to seeing the Aylesbury high street layout, but sadly my back is playing up, so hopefully I don't have to wait till 2016 to see it again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 21, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2015 As usual a great little show with some quality layouts although Aylesbury was probably the most impressive - well worth the visit thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yes a great little show, well worth the afternoon out. One thing though ... the three blokes who were doing the demos looked a little lonely without people sitting in front of them. No chairs! They were demoing to themselves!

johnb Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 As usual a great little show with some quality layouts although Aylesbury was probably the most impressive - well worth the visit thanks. I fully agree with Mike, with the addition that the carrot cake was superb. Very well done the organisers and the bakers! John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
station cat Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Well done to the team, it was an excellent show as normal. Impressive variety and quality of layouts (you've done a great job with Aylesbury). The quality of the catering was high - and the provision of the mini sausage rolls at 25p each was possibly a stroke of genius. The cake was as good as advertised. The catering area was a bit crowded and chaotic but I don't think there's much you could do to alleviate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsforever Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Went this morning Aylesbury is a fantastic layout and I felt old as when I moved to Aylesbury in 1961 the station building and yard were still there and we had a regular freight service with Black Fives an 8F and Mickey Mouse every now and then..This layout should be in the proposed museum centre as it an icon in modeling.and must not be lost maybe the Aylesbury Society can come up with some info about it and maybe the county museum could be persuaded to host it for a couple of days there must be many people in Aylesbury who remember it.Addison Park was excellent and Phil this wont be your last layout will it !!!!!!! liked the trolleybuses and the stock was excellent.This a very friendly show in the Risboro tradition remember when we used to exhibit at Thame Town Hall all the stairs! Thanks lads for another show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted February 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2015 A good show as usual, my operating team and myself had an enjoyable day with Fisherton Sarum and thanks to the RDMRC for their hospitality. Thanks also to all the visitors and friends alike whom took the time to come and say hello and comment or ask questions about Fisherton Sarum. If I hadn't been been exhibiting I still would have visited the show, as just being able to take a look at Aylesbury High Street would have been worth it but Addison Park was also a most welcome surprise and an excellent piece of 3mm modelling.

ANT Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hello Well, we had a great show on Saturday, so many thanks to all who came along. I was only on the Secondhand stall for a short while in the afternoon. The morning was spent showing round our MP John Bercow. The numbers through the door where up a little on last year, so that's good, and plenty of cake was had by all! Below are some photos of the layouts: The first was my favourite Addison Park Now we have a couple of Aylesbury High Street, because of the height of the layout the first photo I held the camera above my head to obtain the shot! Then Horseley Fields Followed by Earl's Court Then comes a couple of Fisherton Sarum With St Frazal Le Chateau below Thanks SEEYAANT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
