RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted January 15, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2010 It's nearly time for the 2010 Alton Febex - held at the Eggars School, Alton on 6th and 7th February. http://www.altonmrg....bex2010-lineup/ Opening times are 10:30 - 5:00 both days, and there is a good variety of layouts on show. A number of these layouts are featured on here including Leaford, East Hants light Railway, Wallace and Gromit's Shunt-o-matic and Lynnbottom. In addition our club's Japanese layout, Yamanouchi Oshika, will be attending, however in the guise of the layout Cote-le-Stone (long story covered off on the Liphook & District blog on this forum). Anyone else attending, or even exhibiting from here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted January 27, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2010 Can't make it this year as I'm locked up with the trainset in the Alresford goods shed for the MidHants freight weekend. Have a good one. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so they've rescheduled it for then? That's a b****r cos we were going to ask you to help us run our 4 layouts here, and now we'll miss seeing Cramdin Yard as well. Hey Ho! Have a good weekend!

That's a b****r cos we were going to ask you to help us run our 4 layouts here, and now we'll miss seeing Cramdin Yard as well. Hey Ho! Have a good weekend! It's an unfortunate bit of scheduling. Four layouts! That's a bit greedy. I would happily have helped out but there ya go. You can always catch Cramdin at Basingstoke in March. Extra hands to play trains are always welcome.

RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted February 3, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2010 I guess it might be helpful to know which day I am likely to appear at John? I'll try and find out! Are East Hants Lt Rly, Lynnbottom and Cote-le-stone and W&G all located together/ near each other? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDMJ Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I guess it might be helpful to know which day I am likely to appear at John? I'll try and find out!we like surprises .... Are East Hants Lt Rly, Lynnbottom and Cote-le-stone and W&G all located together/ near each other? No! Cote-le-Stone is in a world of its own, thus precluding the use of wireless DCC on it when we will be using it on EHLR! (It's been confirmed we're out of line of sight!) Looking forward to seeing you during the weekend! (BTW - Alton town centre's only about 10mins walk away!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted February 3, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ah, I see. I don't know, all this newfangled technology Good job the town centre is 10 mins walk, I don't expect a certain someone to be hanging around for long!

Kenton Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (BTW - Alton town centre's only about 10mins walk away!) and en-route you will pass an excellent model shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDMJ Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Oh yes, Bob's! BTW, the railwa\y modeller will probably remain at FEBEX whilst his providers of transport head into town! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 BTW, the railwa\y modeller will probably remain at FEBEX whilst his providers of transport head into town! Nah, all that mystery and exploration is far too tempting ... besides IMO the trade at FEBEX is a little light for my liking. I'm still trying to rearrange the diary to pop over for an hour or so.

JohnDMJ Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I'm still trying to rearrange the diary to pop over for an hour or so. Well, if you succeed, drop by East Hants Light Railway and Lynnbottom and say HI! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'll be popping over on saturday. You will probably spot me as the tired looking dad with 2 small and excitable boys.
