Guest Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Sarcasm aside, I do have an idea what's going through your mind and if it's any consolation, you're braver than me! I had an invite to the Midland Railex with North Street but declined in a moment of sheer panic! Once it's up and running, you'll no doubt wonder why you stressed!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted April 11, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 11, 2015 The layout is fine, the crew? well they're fairly entertaining to look at so that should fill any gaps Only thing is making sure you have everything in the car. As long as the conservatory is empty you know you have it all and you'll know Friday night if there's anything that slipped the net and first show isn't too far from home I draw up a check list and the worst I forgot was the bolts which just meant a trip to B&Q Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Having previously seen Exford in the flesh I'm looking forward to seeing this one too. I'm hopefully going to get down there for the Sunday. Try not to get to stressed Ian 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted April 12, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi I an All looking good for the weekend and I'm sure that you'll have a good time! Once the first loco runs over the layout and good comments from the visitors received, you'll be OK! The first show is always nerve racking, but should be enjoyable! Unfortunate, I won't be able to get down - too many other shows recently and won't get a "pass-out" 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Have a good show Ian, the pics of the Layout look superb, Don't tell anyone but I'm trying to re create Kingsmill as a working fiddle yard on the other side of the room for Bitton. All the best to you and the Gang. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleygrid Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Good luck for the weekend Ian, one day I hope to see your superb layout in the flesh. What you have achieved in the short space of time that it has taken you to produce Tidworth is remarkable, you must be very pleased. Well done, great work. Nice photos Paul, I look forward to seeing more of Tidworth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull1845 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Thanks to Ian for allowing me to practice last night, the layouts looking great and works well. Both in the sense of running and operational interest. Must admit the passenger traffic was ratje neglected though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted April 15, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 15, 2015 Morning all Work has continued this evening and the station building finally has a roof and it has been painted! Also tonight the concrete fence has been secured in place along the back of the platform. There is a small amount of greenery and ground cover to finish off tomorrow night then I have Thursday and Friday off to complete adding detail to the platform and fix the lighting strip to the fascia and prepare everything to load up Friday lunchtime. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted April 17, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2015 Morning all, Well after spending all day yesterday gluing, scattering and painting Tidworth is ready for its debut, although there is still more that can be done at a later date. Today it's time to pack the layout and stock and head to Wimborne after lunch so I hope to see some of you there over the weekend. Two views of the station now it has been 'dressed'. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2015 A very nicely done compact layout. Seeing this layout (and Pete 75C's thread) makes me want to use the timber that I have for extending Dobris to build a new Southern Region layout!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yes yes yes, It looks great Ian. You should be proud of what you have done in such a short time. Hope all goes well for the show I am sure it will. I am sure you will get more invites too I know the New Forest guys would have it at their show. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It looks superb Ian, good work! 11th hour pull out from me, family issues mean I'm now not going to be able to make it to Wimborne (Annoyed) but you and the crew have a good show and I'll keep an eye out for post show pictures. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted April 17, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2015 As someone said "I love it when a plan comes together!" Tidworth is packed and loaded and I've checked and rechecked too many times for stuff I've forgotten, but I am still ready to leave on time! Quick detour before heading for chez pitbull for a cuppa and set up at 6pm. It's all going too well, don't panic Mr Mainwaring! 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted April 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2015 Ah yes I need to pack the trolley just about to pack the car, good job the missus is away as it looks like, no IS an obstacle course in the hall! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
