RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted April 12, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 12, 2016 This is now getting closer and I can confirm two further layouts: Portpyn 1:34, Narrow gauge port, Southern England (6' long) Hinksey Yard N gauge, DBS (EWS), Oxford 2010 (20' x 2'9") We will also have a static display of part of Epsom Station (covering the current station through to the end (west end) of East Street). Members of the Twickenham & District MRC will be demonstrating aspects of the design and construction of their new O gauge layout Addison Road (Kensington Olympia) using modern innovative techniques. We will also have displays from the 2mm Scale Association, the South Western Circle and the Gauge O Guild Cheers,Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headstock Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Having endured the great boxing day floods, Leicester South will be at it;s first exhibition since the heavens opened. Fortunately the layout, and the club rooms have survived. Leicester will be making its way south next week without resort to armbands or amphibious transport.

RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted April 19, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2016 Unfortunately the Bluebell Railway stand has had to pull out, but we have managed to get the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (Surrey Support Group) to step in to fill the gap. Many thanks guys. Cheers,Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link, I've been too busy to post. The good news is that the council have started to refurbish the building. Unfortunately to late to save the September exhibition from cancellation, however activity in the club rooms will resume latter this year. If you are at Epsom, then we will have two new trains running for the first time, one bound for Swansea and the other running from Lambourn to York, can you guess what that might be?

RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted April 21, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 21, 2016 Will you have stools for kids? Regards Hi, Yes, we'll have the usual "hop-ups" to let small children see the layouts more easily. They will be available near the entrance desk. There should be a reasonable number, but at very busy times they can run out. Cheers, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ullypug Posted April 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2016 Clevedon is just about set up and ready to go. It was a bit of a journey yesterday so I didn't get everything done. Do come along and say hello if you're passing. It looks like a cracking show. With Epsom to one side and Leicester behind, I'm going to have to keep a strict eye on my fellow operators! Right, time for breakfast! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 That's a shame. Hope you can still come along? I'll be along tomorrow. He had a sleepover last night and rather blotted his copybook; up all night, and I'm knackered, piss holes in the snow isn't in it. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertcwp Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Very good show today. Good to see Leicester South GC back in action without too much damage as a result of the floods. Although the layout was stored clear of the water, there was severe condensation in the building so some of the boards suffered as a result of this. The Shipley crew could not put up the layout our check anything before transporting it to the show so it's a minor miracle it worked at all. I liked the horse special and the Sheffield-Swindon with its Atlantic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliR53 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I too was very impressed with St Martin's Wharf and always enjoy seeing Leicester South. At the seaside looking and listening to Harlyn Pier was a welcome interlude. Bought a couple of very well made and weathered wagons, which were very cheap. So a very good day out. Well done Epsom and Ewell MRC. St Martin's Wharf Leicester South Harlyn Pier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Star Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 St Martin's Wharf The operators told me that this was the first time out for this brilliant layout True and thank you for your comment. We got our first practice operation just two week back and, for two of the operators, Saturday was the first opportunity for running in earnest. A simple track layout... just a couple of uncoupling locations for the Alex Jacksons... much fun learning how to shunt the yard. Whilst a "Colonel Stephens" style layout the traffic density was more appropriate to Borough Market Jcn at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
