RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted April 2, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2015 We have just discovered that a "what's on" web-site is incorrectly showing the date of the show as the 4th April. Please ignore that - the dates are 25th & 26th April 2015 We look forward to seeing many of you there. Cheers, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted April 21, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi, It's now less than a week to go. The Chairman has given his pep talk; final arrangements are being put into action; and we're looking forward to welcoming our excellent visiting layouts, demonstrators and traders. Hope to see lots of you there. Cheers,Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterloo Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Sorry can't make it this year as we are in Liverpool with St Merryn. Looks like I'm going to be missing another great Epsom show. If you can make it to Epsom this coming weekend then I'm sure you won't be disappointed Enjoy Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted April 21, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 21, 2015 My local show before moving abroad. Always worth the short drive down the A24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted April 21, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2015 My local show too and was the first show I went to when I got into this hobby 5 years ago. Been to every one since and they've all been worth a visit. The venue also has a very large car park (for about 600 I believe) so that has never been a problem.

chrisf Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It is very handy for rail travellers. Ewell East, about 5 minutes from the venue, is right at the edge of the Travelcard Zone 6. With that comes a cautionary tale. Bargains are often to be had on the second-hand stall. One year I picked up a complete run of Trains Illustrated, save for the very rare July 1959 issue, for £15. It came in three lumpy carrier bags. At this point I remembered that I had travelled by train. My valuable cargo did reach home safely, after crossing London by tube, but only just: one of the carrier bags gave way as I was alighting from the taxi at home.

RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted April 23, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2015 Unfortunately Maloja has had to pull out for health reasons. We wish them a speedy recovery. Cheers, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 10 mins away so I will pay a visit on Saturday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike morley Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 On Sunday there are going to be replacement buses running the Victoria - Sutton section of the Ewell East service, so it might be better to take the Waterloo service to Ewell West instead.

PenrithBeacon Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Just got back. A very good exhibition, well worth a visit. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted April 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2015 Totally agree with David above. Some really nice layouts on display with plenty of trains running and some lovely modelling. I particularly liked (in no specific order of preference) Hospital Gates, Red Hook Bay, New Hey and the "Home Team's" Hinksey Yard. To be perfectly honest though I didn't see anything to dislike.

chrisf Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Five minutes from the station? What have you got on your feet...rockets? Stout hiking boots, since you ask. It took me five minutes [09.46 - 09.51] to stride purposefully from Ewell East station to the entrance of the NESCOT campus. It took another four minutes to reach the end of the queue though. The journey was worthwhile with plenty of good layouts and a fine selection of trade. However, I don't recall having to make my own tea before. Managed not to bump into Penrith Beacon again and no doubt missed other inmates who were there. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Dread Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thank you for the photographs David. I especially liked this one as it shows ChrisH operating (and not eating the biscuits) Hospital Gates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
