Bungus the Fogeyman Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The vintage bus was Ex United Counties KBD 712D .....I'm sure one of our knowledgeable bus men can fill in the finer points. Disgusting of Market Harborough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimbus Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 However, the layout I spent the most time watching by quite a wide margin was St Merryn. An exercise in presenting the mundane, although that is not meant to denigrate what was an exceptional presentation. Not only was the modelling and research of the highest order but the way the layout was operated was highly realistic. For me that demonstrates a holistic approach to presenting a highly plausible scene and that is a nigh on perfect combination. It seems, for many, that they were indeed 'Getting it all right" !

stewartingram Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If I remember correctly, that is either Rushden Transport Museum based, with a recent professional restoration in Blackpool, or it is privately owned and stored on a farm alongside the A6 just north of Luton? Stewart Just checked on the Rushden site, that one appears to be 651EBD, which may not yet be finished, so it looks like the A6 one. Nice to see this out and about again, I remember this bus from its intro to service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGC Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just in case anyone is interested, I had the opportunity to take some videos of the Mid Essex MRC layout Blackwells Brewery Company at the exhibition, and two of the videos I shot are shown here. Needless to say, the locos are mine - no nepotism here! :-) Phil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydA8fKiFpyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcASObnOZio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
