RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted April 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 7, 2014 Cogirep's been set up for testing after two winters in hibernation and all seems good. Looking forward to getting some of my French models out of their boxes and giving them another spin. Here's a couple of shots of Paynestown, which is now owned by Reg: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleymodeller Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 V nice. Brian is brining his new Canadian one too so should be a good range of layouts. we'll have to have a chat about French HO when we're there, it could be my next project. You seem to be able to cram more in the space in Ho than OO, despite it being 7/8th the size. Tony Just a reminder to those in Wales etc that the Show is this Saturday, 10 May. See you there.

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted May 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2014 Heard we're in for some rain so I thought I'd better get the layout in the car now, rather than wait. All set! Let's hope it holds off in the morning for unloading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Having been a regular at the Ponty shows -to say I'm disappointed not to have been able to make the show is an understatement. . Unfortunately. my gutted kitchen needed rewiring and a lot of chasing out - ( which by 3:00pm was still unfinished ) and more work done before the plumber arrives tomorrow morning. . Looking forward to next year. Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleymodeller Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Brian, we missed you and Paul. Next year maybe? We enjoyed ourselves. If you re wiring your kitchen perhaps you can do my new layout next? As for plumbing , I don't think it needs that yet. Hendre Lane was very much in 1973 mode with blue green and maroon in evidence. Unfortrunately bits fell off when transporting home! Newport in 2 weeks though so may see you there, Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Why thank you Tony. . The Newport show 'may' be a possibility, the grandsons stay the night before, have rugby training at 9:00am (and they're not 4 yet) and at 2:00pm No.1 son lands at Rhoose after aiding and abetting the destruction of $10,000,000 worth of United States undersea hardware ( http://innovation.uk.msn.com/design/nereus-hybrid-sub-lost-at-sea ). I hope he has more luck with his 2mm Union Pacific layout ......... . And the answer to your next question is 'no' I didn't renew, so from August I'l have more modelling time on Saturday afternoons !!!!!! .

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted May 13, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 13, 2014 Enjoyable day out from my perspective - less than an hour from leaving home, to having the layout set up and tested, and I was next to Brian T's nice new winter Canadian module. Thanks to Marc for taking over on Cogirep while I had a wander and chat, and to everyone at the venue for the friendly atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleymodeller Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks coming Alistair. I thought it was a lovely little show. Good variety of layouts and lot of great chat. But due to operating constraints didn't have a lot f tine to have a good look around . But will no doubt see you in 10 days at Newport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
