talisman56 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Everything looks good at the moment - come on down and see over the weekend - you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately Titfield Thunderbolt bookstore has had to pull out due to illness - one of our members has stood in with a display of larger scale models, DCC and sound-fitted.

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted March 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2015 Many apologies, as talisman56 reports, I was laid low yesterday lunchtime and as a consequence the Titfield Thunderbolt bookstall is unable to attend this weekend. This show is always very good from every point of view and I am very disappointed to be missing it this year. Apologies again, to the club and any visitors inconvenienced by my absence. I hope you all have a great time nonetheless, I am sure you will. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted March 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2015 Just spent a pleasant few hours at this show - despite the lack of Titfield it was well worth the journey with a selection of very nice layouts and some very useful traders - and I managed to pick up a 64XX in BR green too...

37114 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Good show, nice layout selection with a nice mix of scales and glad I came back for the second year in the row. Nice to chat to a few RMWebbers and some familiar faces. My kids loved Clapham, the Grim reaper took some explaining! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisman56 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Clapham. Clapham? Oh, Cl-A-Ph-A-M (Clevedon and Portishead Armchair Modellers) - The layout name was Devonport Road - complete with various scenic features, including a HazMat team on a bridge inspecting some dumped oil-drums and some Daleks on a container flat...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted March 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2015 The Baron and I had an excellent time at this most convivial show. The venue was superb. Light modern and airy with interesting shapes. A mile away from cold and soulless halls. It was our first time there and it was very well organized by the N&DMRC. Here's the start of a selection of what was there. First up is Jerry and Kim Clifford's delightful 'Tucking Mill' in 2mm finescale. I was allowed to have a play and was most impressed with the effectiveness of DG couplings. I had been bought up on a force fed diet of the three links and 'hand in the sky' method but DGs do seem to fit the bill for me! An interesting interloper to a quiet backwater of Somerset! An excellent feel of 'depth and perspective' with the painting seen here. More to come later as the foundations for the new workshop await! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitcan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Glad you/your children enjoyed Devonport Road. We hope to entertain all! Look forward to seeing you at Cheltenham in a few weeks time. Regards Paul www.claphammodelrail.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hello Many thanks to Nailsea MRC for inviting us, and Georgemas Jct, to their show. After a bit of a sticky start on Saturday things seemed to settle down over the weekend. Apologies for being a bit under the weather which led me to get a bit rattled and short of breath at times but I feel a lot better now. Good to see the 'clapped out' brigade in action with their new layout and to catch up with them. I agree it is a very nice venue and there were a lot of good layouts there. We may be back in a year or so depending of course that they want us back. Only time will. Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted March 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2015 ...some more of the delights! Burnham-on-Sea was built by the Late Dennis Brownlee, a leading light in the past of the 2mm society. I understand that the lovely hotel on the corner still survives. Also of note is the RNLI boat house with the lifeboat being launched and recovered by winch on its own trolley that was run down the 'extended' rails into the sea. I was told that there used to be a coin operated mechanism to launch the model and again to recover it! Payment went to RNLI funds. A splendid scheme. This 2mm stuff really does have an attraction......! Mmmm.............! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgundy Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 As always, a very good exhibition in a pleasant venue. I particularly liked the idea of a Colonel Stephens room. Thanks to all those who made it possible. Best wishes Eric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
