RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 1 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1 (edited) Evening all, Where. Dubrek Studios 67 Bridge St, Derby DE1 3LB A new opportunity for members of RMweb to meet, chat, drink tea and eat cake presents itself later this year............and it's FREE........... YES..........FREE ! Sunday, September the 22nd 2024 will see a few choice trainsets being displayed in the centre of Derby. To provide balance, I'm taking one of mine along for what promises to be a fun day out. Our very own @JustinDean has made his venue available, complete with ensuite cafe and bar ( ?). Now, this may well prove to be ( probably ) one of the best venues to host a model railway show........Jay has worked hard to create a modern airy event space which we can now clutter up with our trainsets............. We'll feature each layout along the way but to whet your appetites, here's the poster...... ( Note the information contained therein ) And here's the venue........ The inside ( not sure if we'll be making a mess here or somewhere else...... oh and this seemingly scratchbuilt pizza caught my eye... And a few words from happy campers....... "This is an absolutely brilliant venue, rehearsal space, cafe and bar - Dubrek has it all going on. It is one of Derby's jewels. The place feels welcoming as soon as you step inside and there is always someone on hand to help and give advice. I have been to a few gigs here and the sound is brilliant - the sound engineer has really got it going on. If you're less-abled physically, staff are more than happy to help and provide assistance" Oh and this stood out........ "I can’t speak for the studio side......... but what I can say is that they serve quite possibly the best coffee I’ve ever tasted" So, more details to follow but first stage is to get this in your diaries............ Oh.......and dress appropriately.... Rob Edited July 1 by NHY 581 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted July 1 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1 Thanks Rob! Also worth noting there’s lots of free on street parking right outside the venue and Dubrek is fully accessible to wheelchair users. Jay 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium SteveyDee68 Posted July 1 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 1 As SWAG is simply too far away for me to venture to, I shall have to put this into my diary and show my ugly mug to all and sundry! Note to self - ensure SIX! auditions are not planned for Sunday 22 September! Just checking - there’s no plans for any purveyors of small shunting locos to be in attendance, are there? (I can’t help it … it’s an addiction … 🫢😆) Steve S 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted August 12 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12 Just over a month to MAG! This has come round quick. Really stoked @Tom F is demoing his weathering skills. I’ve been following his work for a few years now with awe and you can see some his excellent work on his Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057598662010 ….or just gaze at this pannier: Thanks to @NHY 581 for linking us up!

TT100 Diesels Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Daft question time, as the event is essentially for folk who are signed up / post on "RMweb" , do we have to pre register to attend, or just pitch up at the event on the day ? Cheers D. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Young Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Seeing as it’s only a month away, when I get back from holiday, I’d better dust Elsbridge off and make sure everything works. Haven’t operated it for a while as had been busy playing with my NG7 layout ‘Wheal Ponder’ after finishing it in June. Andrew 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted August 18 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18 Please be warned that rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, and I intend to make an appearance at this event just to prove it to you. Joking apart, I'm really looking forward to this, it sounds like a great lineup of layouts, and it will be nice to meet those of you I haven't seen in person before.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted August 27 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 27 Morning all. By way of a mild bump, MAG marks the start of a busy week for Ewe, which is off to the show at Rapido Towers the following Thursday. So in the next few weeks, I'll be quietly checking the layout and stock starting this coming weekend with weathering a couple of additional wagons to provide a bit of variety to proceedings. Should be a jolly good day out..... Rob. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Who knows … next time perhaps you might be exhibiting? Recently saw 3mm layouts at the York Show and was super impressed) Steve S (Bringing a friend and both looking forward to it!) Thank you Steve, that is very kind of you to say. But my layout is a bit of a whimsical inspired by affair and is miles away from the proper C&HPR layouts and builds that feature on RMweb (but I do just love the C&HPR). 3mm at the York show, agreed, two very different but inspiring layouts there this year. 14.2 mm gauge fine scale Coniston Lakebank set in the LMS era was absolutely sublime, while the 12mm gauge Bluish is a lovely cameo of Reddish depot complete with OLE and a gaggle of scratch build diesels and electric locos. I have helped operate it a couple of times and been able to supplement the roster with some of my Lincoln Locos resin and 3D print diesels, but went as a fare paying punter at York, but still got an hour running it while Phil and Pete went for lunch 😁. Sorry, starting to stray off topic a bit...... Cheers D. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
