Rivercider Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Good work there Rob. Very atmospheric, nice and tranquil. To be fair all the layouts at the SWAG do were different, but they all managed to capture the atmosphere of time and place. Thanks to you, and all the other exhibitors, for making a very enjoyable show, cheers 4 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted April 24, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2022 Ewe was looking splendid Rob, as were you in that shirt 😃 Thanks for a very enjoyable day. Al. 5 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they are all marked up you still have to root through them to find anything. Last night was a case of sleeping on a mattress on the floor at the old place, for me it was like being a student again. The Memsahib says it's the closest to camping she ever wants to get. 1 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 It really does have the look of a backwater in every sense. I wonder if any of the purveyors of authentic sounds do dragonflies? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 25, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2022 I think Sherry & I spent more time talking to Rob - who turns out to be even more personable than his already friendly writings suggest - than looking at Ewe, actually. Thanks again for your excellent organising skills for a show that has been rightly praised in its own thread. Top bloke. 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 25, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2022 Morning all, Thank you all for your kind words. To be fair to Spams, I really did spend more time chatting than operating. It was that sort of day. It so very nice to meet you and Sherry, Old D. SWAG provides the perfect enviroment to put faces to names and that's just one of the reasons that if I had to name my five top model railway events, SWAG would be there along with Railwells and Larkrail. The reason SWAG is such a wonderful day out is the generosity of those who travel to the event and plonk their layouts up simply to be part of the event. I asked and they came. It was very humbling indeed when one took into account how far many had travelled and the personal costs in terms of time and money they incurred. And not only the exhibitors. We had many visitors who had travelled considerable distances to attend and enjoy the day. It was lovely to finally meet you, Jay but to name everyone who introduced themselves is simply not possible. Thr least we could do was to ensure we had something worth seeing. Plans are already well advanced in respect of 2023. The layouts are pretty much sorted and moves are afoot to have a number of demos on the go. What I would say is if you were unable to make it this year, make a note of April 23rd 2023. That's the corresponding Sunday next year when SWAG will once more be held. I hope to formally announce the line up sometime in November. Rob. 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted April 25, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2022 Let face it if you cycled down to Ewe with your bottle of Tizer a sandwich and a couple of squares of chocolate you would count yourself lucky to see much moving about. So I suggest Rob is atually trying to create an accurate feel of a normal day at Ewe. I was very sorry to miss the day (family thing) and miss the chance of seeing you and Ewe. It does look superb. PS were you a stand in for Black Rat? Don 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted April 25, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2022 I think you put together a cracking event Rob. Thanks for doing this and also to everyone who exhibited - all the layouts were excellent and well worth the trip! Jay 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winslow Boy Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I must say Sheepish person it sounds like a jolly good WhizzBang and I'm most sorry that I was unable to attend but needs must and I cannot afford to get on the wrong side of the Devil Dog. She had a very nice day at the sea side, before you ask, along with another hundred DD's so it was somewhat 'noisy'. Will see what can be done for next year though.

It also fits well with your reputation for replicating classical herbiage. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
