We are looking forward to attending this show with Weaver Hill. Thank you for the invite :).

So you'll have it finished by Christmas then ;)

Well I have my slaters kits, I was thinking about renewing them but they build up into excellent kits and I am happy with the results. I have to say I think this is a long overdue wagon though and should sell very well

Evening Well that's it for another year . On behalf of Alsager model railway club , i would like to thank everyone that attended ( Visitors and exhibitors ) over the weekend , to make it a very enjoyable weekend . Cheers

Good Evening, We are back from an excellent weekend and the layout again had its usual performance issues, they settled a little and the stock ran well. However the joints do need some work and hopefully this works shall be underway with a few boards adjusted for our next show at Bognor Regis. Andy York was there in the morning to take some photos. There were a few additions just little things to bring the layout to life such as some swans on the pond. It was also nice to win the best scenic exhibit at the show.

Good morning . Day two of our annual exhibition , Looking forward to it . The hunt on the colliery, find the fox ,its there ,also don't forgot to look at the pit horses in the stable . Enjoy your day . Thanks

A few links from people who have attended today

Good Evening, The first day went excellent and we are looking forward to day 2 tomorrow. Some people have said getting into Bentley Legends is not the easiest. The location is located just though a housing estate accessed over the railway bridge. It does feel like your driving into the main factory site. The only access is from A532 Coppenhall Lane, opposite simply gym.

Morning, No worries I thought I had added it but here is the link, https://www.pjmmodels.co.uk/

Evening Show all set up for tomorrow ( well at least 90% ) . Looking forward to good weekend , I think you will not be disappointed . Thanks

Ah well we need to up the advertising game then, however there is one at Morrisons on the community board. I hope you manage to get there all the same.

Bluebell Cutting, another layout attending which is owned by a club member.

Hassell Hill Colliery shall also be attending the club's O gauge layouts

Lawton Hey, the club's 00 layout shall be at the show. A few photos attached

Hi, That is the only way into legends now, so you've got your directions perfect. All being well we should have signs out to get you there.

Good Morning, A small project this week to keep myself busy. A test build of a wcml relay room that's being produced by a member at our club and available to buy. This shall be on display at our show over on his stand. https://www.pjmmodels.co.uk/ I've got to say it went together very well, it's the first time I've tackled painting engineering brick and the result was satisfactory. The figures on the other hand were causing me issues but they look acceptable for setting the scene. Original this was meant to go on Weaver Hill where the crossing keepers cottage is now. Maybe it's an excuse for another exhibition layout ;).

I am with others in wishing to see more EMU in OO. I suppose Hornby were not wrong when they said electrics don't sell. The Bachmann 350 ended up in the bargain bin and was being sold off at £80. Looking at how much the class 150 is selling at now the 350 would be around £400. I think N gauge is excellent now for emu, I am seriously tempted to start getting some n now, especially as the quality is excellent and you can get the units. With the 85 and 90s and the 86s from Heljan I think the first gen emus would be the obvious choice. A 304/305/308 etc. The 308 would have a good scope. GEML/West Yorkshire and they even ended up on the cross city in WYPTE red. 305 ended up in GMPTE. These could be modelled in 3 car later conditions which might well keep the price down. I think though the concern now is the price point a emu would come at. After all there are not many DMUs left to do now 😂

Weaver Hill is all set ready for the exhibition minus the 444 which did look well on the layout.

Good Evening, It is time to start making some preparations for the next show which is also our own club show. A busy weekend for sure. Our 3d printing master has offered to print some cars for the car train. The test print focus has turned out well and there shall be a whole batch of them to follow. I think maybe the front windscreen needs a little less blue, but when it is running around the layout it should look okay. The addition of the revolution car wagons makes the car service all the more authentic. There is not a great deal else to do on the layout at the moment. I am sure something shall crop up though.
