NEW On the subject of younger members we last year teamed up with a local scout group who over the two days of the exhibition provided much support in many areas of the exhibition, including stewarding, cash desk area and helping out in the tea & coffee area used by the traders, members and layout. NEW Stafford Railway Circle in return have paid for scout camp weekend as a thank you. NEW We are also organising a modelling event at our clubrooms to enable the scouts to obtain there Modeling Scout badge. NEW We will also be having a very large Playmobil layout built by father & son on the balcony area as well our legendary Hogsmead on Sodor (Thomas Layout) in our continued effect to attract families with children and introduce them to the wonderful hobby of model railways. Disabled access to the first floor together with full facilities whether a cuppa, snack or light meal will be available.

Long Line Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Those scouts did a Great job last year. A credit to the uniform. Studious polite and keen. The tea just kept coming which is always a welcome gesture. Looking forwards to this years one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted February 24 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24 Stafford show is always a must do in my railway exhibition diary. One thing the club does so well is getting very large aisles between the layouts which makes the show far less claustrophobic. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 24 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24 As an elderly punter, the spacious nature of Stafford makes it a very easy show to enjoy, and the catering is excellent. I am unable to pencil in a visit just yet, as I'm having a new roof put on my terrasse this September, but might hope I can still slip across for the third successive year. Inevitably it is also a hub for some RMwebbers and so a degree of conviviality is assured, too. [My chances are helped by the fact that Sherry used to live locally, retired from teaching Year 6 at a school further down Weston Road, and so has multiple friends she can importune while I enjoy myself!] 3 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) Just to clarify- Bregstadt which is listed as 2mm/N was originally down as Bregenbach im Schwarzwald. On the website it says Bregstadt HO, and has pics.... Bregstadt is now going, rather than Bregenbach, but please note it is TT scale. Update- it is Bregenbach im Schwarzwald that is going.

Chris M Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) Looking forward to this show as always. Almost certainly the best bang for your buck in the country (model railway wise). I will definitely be going as a paying visitor again this year. I do enjoy exhibiting at Stafford, probably because it is a genuine club show and I have done so quite a few times. I do have a layout which was never designed to be an exhibition layout but has now been made exhibitable. It would be available for Stafford if wanted and would be very cheap. In fact as its for you folks I will pay for the petrol myself so it would come at zero cost - well apart from lunch anyway.

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted September 2 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 2 Good Morning All I have just had a email from Ron of Totem Signs to say he is unable to attend the Stafford Exhibition over the weekend of 28th & 29th of September. Does anybody else know of another trader who offers the making of vinyl signs at the exhibition that may be interested in attending the Stafford Exhibition Unfortunately this is the second trader that has to pull out as Baz Models is unable to make it due to issues beyond his control.

RMweb Premium ardbealach Posted September 11 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11 Whithorn will be at Stafford Show as its last time under my ownership. I have decided the time has come to sell it. If you are interested in its purchase, please come along to Stafford Show to see it in action. If you are ever in Whithorn itself, look out for the Railway Inn pub sign - it's Andy York's attached image of the signal box. Details of the sale are on RMweb marketplace.

RMweb Premium ardbealach Posted September 11 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11 Yes could not believe it when I was told. It seems the landlord saw the image on line of a train at Whithorn and downloaded it for his pub sign. Only problem is that the locomotive is a BR 4MT 2-6-4 tank which was built after the passenger services had ended on the line in 1950.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 12 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12 I wonder if Andy Y and his employer have been recompensed for the blood, sweat, tears, angst und sturm needed to get that image onto the Internet. A free pint or two might seem in order, at least. Perhaps they should have an office outing? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris M Posted Tuesday at 05:38 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:38 Warley at the NEC is indeed history but the new Warley at Statfold exhibition on 12th & 13th October this year is the beginning of a new era. Smaller yes, but still a good size with over 30 layouts and over 30 trade exhibitors. More importantly it will be more relaxed and family friendly with unlimited free rides on the Statfold barn narrow gauge railways and full access to their truly wonderful collection of narrow gauge locos from around the world. At Warley we are very excited about our new venture and all of us are very relieved to not be organising a show at the NEC. Advance tickets can be bought from Statfold Barn - https://www.statfold.com/warleymodelrailwayshow . Note this is at Statfold and not Stafford. Warley club fully support Stafford in their exhibition and I am sure there will be many Warley club members at Stafford. I recommend the Stafford show and will certainly be there this year as a paying customer. I haven't missed a Stafford show for years (sometimes as an exhibitor and sometimes a visitor) and it is always well worth going. I believe Stafford is now the biggest show put on by a single model railway club and wish them every success; they deserve it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Morning Chris Many thanks for your kind words about our forthcoming Stafford Exhibition. Likewise I think I have attended every Warley Exhibition from the 1990s to the present, with Camel Quay having attended the last Warley Exhibition at the NEC I will most certainly be at Statfold over the Warley Exhibition Weekend and am very much looking forward to it.
