switcher 1 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Wow, a distinct lack of 0 gauge there! Â (Not many suppliers either.) Â Explains why I'm having such a hard time trying to get 0 gauge American stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor quinn Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I should point out that due to a lack of space Wheelock will not be at Meriden. Â Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 I would point out that due to a lack of space Wheelock will not be at Meriden. Nick Post duly edited, Nick. I had copied & pasted the details from another source online, but hadn't realised Wheelock wasn't on the official website. I was looking forward to operating it again.

doctor quinn Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 No problem Andy, I was worried the convention page still showed me as exhibiting. Â Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 The Convention certainly seemed well patronised today, with an excellent selection of layouts. I did notice quite a bit of O scale for sale, and I was even tempted by a pair of PFE Reefers for a proposed shunting plank. Don't forget the public day is tomorrow. http://www.nmraconvention.org.uk/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2013 Good show all round, nice venue easily accessed from my direction via M42 etc. Some very nice layouts, most of the traders you'd expect at such an event and some interesting s/hand sales. Only did the Saturday so can't really comment on the quality of the social side and food but I did notice a long bar in the layout room - ideal...
