298 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Oooh, nice to see some of my handiwork advertising a show! Depending on what else might be happening that weekend I may be able to make it down - perhaps as part of the Menasha team.  I hope you can make it, it's a very good show whether you have an interest in North American modelling or not.  It seems there is a bit of an "Omen" with layouts on posters for this year's show, Mine was booked and did appear on early publicity, but I had to cancel the booking as Sproglet #2 is due a few days after and although I still hope to be at the show, don't want to have to cancel at the last minute or abandon the layout. You'll recognise me at the show as the bloke pacing up and down all day or checking my phone for missed calls.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discovered earlier this evening that the event I might have been going to that day has been cancelled. This might well take it's place in that case.  Every cloud etc. etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortliner Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Annacis Island is no more - no matter what I did it looked as though it was an excercise in filling the board with track - so I'm bringing 'Sin City - Ingleferry wharf - my layout that packs away into a shoebox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thanks for the posts, guys - keep them coming! Â Given the low budget of the show, high cost of printing and the disposal of half the programmes after the show for the past couple of years, I have put a link to a pdf file on the website (www.tvnam.co.uk) which forms this year's programme. Â Slight changes to the layout line up - Chris Gilbert will be bringing Florida City as Lakeview is now on Ebay! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveB Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hi Nick, Â Couldn't agree more about the programmes. Having gone to a lot of trouble to produce a good quality programme for Rotarail 2013, with full descriptions/track plans and photos, I ended up ditching about 350 of the number I had printed. True, I probably over- ordered, but this being my first show we were in trial and error mode! I'll know better next time. Â Giving Falcon Lake an outing at the Gosport Meet on 18th May, then all ready for the annual pilgrimage to TVNAM. Â See y'all soon! Â Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

warbonnetuk Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Did a decent session of modelling for the first time since our house move back last Sept. To show for my efforts are some repaired stirrup steps and installation of cut levers on a number of the Galatia freight car roster. Â So one item off the 'To Do' list for next month...

Northpoint Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 I've come back from a week away in Dorset and was presented with a large box by my neighbour who had taken it in from Parcelforce. Â Another raffle prize kindly donated by Stewart and Farah at Model Junction: a very nice looking Athearn Genesis GP38-2W in CN zebra stripes - got to be worth a punt for that.
