marc smith Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Hi Mikey, last time I heard - everything is going aheadOddly enough though, I've not heard much recently myself...Then again, I haven't been in the shop muchAre you coming along to the show in Newport on the 1st & 2nd June?I'm definately there, with Cashmores, Barry Ten is there with Paynestown, Brain T is there with Abercynnon Fach,and I think Paul "Naturol" is there with Ranalagh Bridge....Plenty of other layouts too.....It's Cashmores first outing Marc Edit: Details of Cashmores here Mikeyhttp://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/58024-cashmores-the-next-layout/page-3 Edited May 21, 2013 by marc smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted May 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yes, the Newport show is shaping up to be a good one. I think Naturol is bringing the circular steelworks layout, not Ranelagh Bridge? By the way, I have to abandon my layout for a couple of hours on sunday, so if anyone fancies helping out, they'd be more than welcome? It's simple DC, very basic operation with just a couple of isolating sections. My wife has said she'll help out but I don't really want to foist that on her except as a last resort. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted May 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2013 Re: L&B, I think it is going ahead as well (last I heard, anyway), although this will be the first year that I won't be there as an exhibitor or helping out. Got a hot date elsewhere with a Mr Springsteen of New Jersey. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appologies if this is the case.... I had hoped to see Naturols' Ranalagh Bridge again I did look rather good at the Llantwit Fardre show.... Perhaps it was anticipation, on my part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyk Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks boys for the update. Just considering the Newport show actually. Not too far to walk from railway station to the venue. Always wanted to walk across that bridge, memory of mine from the frequent railway trips I did as a youngster when we passed through Newport. Sadly my old knees aren't up to long walks or drives nowadays, but this looks very doable. Have to persuade a child to come with me though! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a hot date elsewhere with a Mr Springsteen of New Jersey. Freehold New Jersey's most favoured son.............. . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CSFSX-Qh54 . Undoubtedly Bruce at his politicised best, but even I'm giving The Boss a rest this time around ! . As he's is also a follower of the faith (model railways) perhaps he'll show up at the L&B Show ?

mikeyk Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Update: May have a found a 'victim' to accompany me to the Newport show, may have to put up with constant chat about Wrong Direction and other dismal boy bands throughout the journey, but one must do what one must do! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc smith Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Great if you can make it,but if anyone starts talking about one direction,I'll have my bass handy, and will start thrashing out some Ramones tunes .... or maybe some Elvis basslines.... or some Blondie stuff?Hope you can make it Mikey 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyk Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Like the musical choice! Fingers crossed I will make Newport on the Saturday Marc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleymodeller Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I was down at Lord and Butler yesterday and the show is on Father's Day weekend which I believe is 15/16 June. I picked upa flyer for it, and I know BrianT's Abercynon shed layout is there, and the small coal yard layout from Pontypridd club. I will see you all on Saturday and canvass your opinions on whether my new layout will be based in Scotland, West Wales or East Anglia (Scotland is my favourite but I don't have the locos, but I do for other two, so I suppose you'll tell me Scotland!). Also there is a show in Porthcawl on Sunday 23rd June which is a Sunday. I am supposed to be there with Hendre Lane which is now based c1970-1974 with blue and green diesels, TOPS and pre-TOPS.

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted May 29, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 29, 2013 Mikey, There is only One Direction: The Highway to Hell! VM, Are you abandoning your plans of a Tondu style 2mm masterpiece, or is this new layout yet another plan (I too have similar schemes in various scales and gauges)? Regards Richard 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 11, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi folks what are timings on Sunday for L&B show please> Cheers Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc smith Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Oooh, sorry PhilI'm not 100% sure of the timings for the Sunday But in previous years, as exhibitor,I think it might have been 10 am, until about 4pm? I stand to be corrected, if that's not the case....But ordinarily, on a Sunday, the shop doesn't usually open until 2pm However, I'm confident that it opens in the morning, on the weekend of the show.... If I can make it, sadly, it will only be for the Saturdayand I intend to take Cashmores along for that Hope to see several of you there Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 For those not already aware - this years L & B Show will not be in the Pumping Station proper, but in the single storey brick building next door i.e. across the car park, formerly a furniture outlet. .

Brian R Indeed, the staff of L&B will be in their shop, and will direct punters over to the adjacent building Where a further member of L&B staff will be in attendance.... So you can visit both the shop and the show Only this year, there will be loads more space available for the layouts.... Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
