Andrew Young Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 It’s a shame this clashes with the 7mmNGA show in Burton as otherwise I’d have liked to have come along. If you could run future shows on a date other tha. The second Saturday in June, then you’d get a few more of us along to visit. Hope it goes well.

298 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Since this is the last night that Blue Heron will be set up at home before the show and the recent smartphone viewpoint comments from Lance, I thought I'd post a photo of an otherwise impossible view of the crew sat in the diner whilst their loco idles outside. You too can be one of the Blue Heron crew members, as punters will be invited to solve the 3-2-2 Inglenook switching puzzle by instructing the crew or operating themselves (insert disclaimer here). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew If you're going to be at one event all day then I suppose there's no alternative, but sometimes it's possible to take in two or even three shows on a well planned grand tour (as I would have done last weekend if I hadn't been at work). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local group of the 7mmNGA run the show for the Convention so will be one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave so keeping me there all day. if I were just visiting, what you suggest would be great, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2019 Nick Great exhibition with some superb layouts, with a good cross selection of both uk & foreign outline micro type layouts. Well done mate, yet again. Eltel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Well done Nick and your Team, a really good selection of Layouts, and only 2 I had seen before, but both well worth seeing again. Sausage sarnies and tea went down well on arrival and again lunchtime. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2019 Home safe. Mutton unloaded. Thank you Nick and to all who organised and attended. Once again a smashing show and a pleasure to exhibit at. Great to meet so many friends, old and new and to exhibit Mutton in the company of some very nice layouts built by some very talented modellers. Now sat quietly with a beer........or two....

RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2019 To add to the comments above - I had a wonderful afternoon at the show: well worth the drive down from Merseyside (and back). Thank you to all involved - the organiser (it was nice to be able to say "thank you" in person this afternoon too), all the exhibitors, some of whom had made very early starts, to the team and the traders. To see 20 layouts (NB: more than the 18 on the programme), well presented, running well and representing a very good mix of scales, gauges, prototypes and eras was a treat, but best of all was the readiness of everyone to engage in conversation (including a trader happy to offer modelling advice too). In just two hours I picked up helpful and achievable tips on: Baseboard construction (including legs) Track and Wiring Simple Point control Ballasting and Weathering Buildings and Scenery, including backscenes Layout presentation (including use of background sound) This may well be the only exhibition I make this year - if so, I have been both satisfied and encouraged to press on with my own small layouts and dioramas. Thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robatron86 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Once again thank you Nick for a great show and for having me along. Here's to next year's show, hopefully. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 70000 Britannia Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2019 What a great day it was today - lots of freindly faces, good banter, and a really enjoyable blend of layouts. Well done Nick and everyone who helped to put it together. Already looking forward to next year's event. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Well, I didn't actually finish the boxfile layout as you can see. However, I did enjoy the miniature version of The Model Railway challenge and thanks to Nick for allowing it to take place. I hope the raffle winner enjoys his prize. I won't als like to thank the stewards for their help during the day with coffee supplies ad bin duty! I didn't get much chance to get a close look at the layouts, but from what I saw they were top notch. steve 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Thanks you all for your feedback. Judging by the comments here and from visitors at the show, everybody had a good day. As usual, I have to thank everybody involved - exhibitors, traders, helpers and visitors - because without any of you, it wouldn't be a success. I was a bit concerned early on as for the first time since I started organising shows (TVNAM in 2010), there was no queue outside the door at 10 o'clock! Given the foul weather, I suppose it's not surprising. Anyaway, the numbers did pick up later and looking at the figures, the show didn't make a loss and there might be few pennies lef tin the piggy bank to consider it again next year. Here are some photos grabbed when I had a chance to go round: Once again, many thanks to all and watch this space re next year...

long island jack Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Another good show, thanks to Nick and everybody for making it possible. Looks like i'd better start building something, just in case there's one next year! Ray 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
