You may find the audience demographic is not quite what you were expecting.😀 Should be 22nd/23rd. John Thanks John. I was rushing to post prior to going to the pub. All amended.

Sheep Dip-Exeter. Matford centre. 25/26th June 2022. ..... Rob. Strangely the Exeter MRS website doesn't have a layouts listing, but the UK model shop directory does - and it shows Bleat Wharf in the listing! https://ukmodelshops.co.uk/event/23512-TheExeModelRailwaySociety_Exhibition Have they got it wrong? It would be nice if Sheep Dip is in Exeter & Bleat Wharf in Taunton to avoid having the same layout at both shows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleat was due to be at both as at the time of originally booking the shows, I only had Bleat. However, when I was asked to confirm my attendance earlier this year, I gave Exe mrs a choice of Bleat or Sheep Dip. They didn't respond so I put Sheep Dip in. I agree though, no info on the Exe MRS site is odd, especially as we are under two months away from the show itself. Rob. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 That's an interesting little building and I'm sure that with a little individuality it would form a centrepiece to a minimalist layout. Although they've been around for donkeys years, I've always liked hacking these about too. 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used the PECO ones but the Wills ones are certainly versatile, think these are all built from the other kit. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrWolf Posted May 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2022 A lot of this is scratch built,, but it uses a lot of modified Wills' Peco and Ratio components. Sorry I can't get a better photo, currently it's in a box, somewhere in a galaxy far far away..... 21 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted May 5, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2022 Evening all, Long term followers of this thread may remember the occasional diversion in the direction of the Czech Republic. I have a very long term plan to model a BLT or a through station on a very minor line set in South Bohemia in the mid eighties, prior to the fall of communism. I only tend to pick up items when there and this is our first visit since August 2020. A trip to Prague yesterday saw a visit made to a train shop and the roster was added to. This Bo Bo is still very common though much updated since their build between 1977 and 1986. I'll post images of the model once back in Blighty but here's an image of the subject of the model.
