HSB - thanks for the comments, believe it or not it was advertised in the railway mags, Facebook, RMWeb etc but seems to have been missed so we will work on that. Trader wise we will be more select, our main issue has been Paignton Council - not only removing our signage but the concession on car parking didn’t happen, to top it all several groups were ticketed whilst loading layouts!

Sorry that you guys were so disappointed with the exhibition, it’s our first time trying this in Paignton. I was opposite Wiggoforgold with my own small layout - attendance has been low. Unfortunately Paignton Council removed all of our signs as the prohibit advertising outside which we were unaware of. To help us could I ask what you look for in a exhibition?

Captain - Yes it is Just to clear up a few comments, The Wessex Association of Model Clubs is not a Club in its own right, more a support network for lots of smaller clubs to help with running and setting up exhibitions - so please do support your local clubs. I am purely adding this as a exhibitor as I would like to see you all there. Cheers Chris

Unfortunately you are not the only one, funnily enough I had exactly the same situation a few years back - his quality of work is good but let down by everything else. I’m not saying small claims court is a waste of time but he registered as bankrupt - in my experience he didn’t answer any letters or the bailiffs.

Ive got a memory of a HAA being used as a barrier when loading CDA’s somewhere in Cornwall? Sorry read the date wrong on original post...

Just read the article in Hornby Magazine, the kits look good Pete. Looking forward to placing a order once they are on the website

In these days of copyright and being sued, has anyone ever had any issues using a specific company logo on a layout? Specifically I wanted to use the aggregate industries logo? Thanks for any help/advise Cheers Chris

Hi Folks, I’m after three Bachmann BDA’s if anyone has some for sale, does not matter about livery. Cheers Chris

Looking forward to seeing the progress Cheers Chris

Hi Folks Just to introduce myself, I’m Chris from Plymouth, returning to RMWeb after a few years absence. I’m a Modern Image modeller, my current layout is mid way through a big renovation, formally known as RM Quarries. Cheers Chris

Just testing Well hopefully that works ok!

Folks, we made the trip up to Model Rail Scotland, specifically to see two layouts, Aberdeen Kirkhill being one of them. We really were impressed with the layout, it did not disappoint in any way, hopefully we will get to see you again if you are a bit further down south! Cheers Chris
