DerekEm8 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 It could be your last chance to see "Striven" as Colin Ashby told me he might not be taking this layout to any other shows due to damage been done to it as shows. But has he told Val - it's her train set Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete55 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Looking at the line up of trade and layouts, looks like being the best Expo North of all time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hello I shall be there with Bedlam Heath, as ever well worth the journey; looking forward to it. Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted July 17, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 17, 2013 That is a cracking good line up Derek! Mind you, I am biased cos I is innit! We will be operating Mansfield as a pure pre-grouping layout and I am very happy to say that I have arranged to have locos and stock built by the late Malcolm Crawley available for use, including a number of lovely scratchbuilt GN locos. This layout is making a reurn to exhibitions after several years "retirement" so I am looking forward to giving the old thing an outing (and I don't mean my co-exhibitor Ken Hill!!).

chrisf Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Having navigated successfully the National Rail Enquiries and Virgin Trains websites I have validity for the Saturday and look forwrd to the vintage bus connection to and from Urmston, which I am sure will be the highlight of hte journey. The fare structure being what it is, my return journey must be via Warrington to be affordable. Must remember my walking boots ... Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hello Apologies for my earlier post. Bedlam Heath will not be at Expo EM, possibly due to being a 00 layout but I will be there as a visitor, (and a member of the society). Sorry for the mix-up, another senior moment flashes by.

John_Miles Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Nice photo John How'd you do the stone work on the goods shed? The simple answer is I didn't. It was done by Richard Evans aka "Grumpy";. It is Peco stone - I think he used the 2mm version and a lot patience - which is possibly part of what makes him grumpy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 26, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 26, 2013 Greyscroft Mine is looking presentable, I think it looked ok at Pickering last week, the main focus of work before the show is stock, there's a coach that has been built 4 years and still is not lettered! I must also get the J77 finished. On the bench at the moment are a couple of brake vans that I'm backdating to ex LNER versions, as they were they represented 1958 built vans, no use on a layout set in 1955...
