Markleman Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Love the layout and the double arrow sign. I would take my hat off to you for such a great layout but I left the hat behind in the pub. Was the Model World Live show at the NEC as good as Warley? Quote

Hi Just to say the Show was the same but different , smaller hall but had a diesel -class 37 as centre piece lovely layouts -mostly working well but all well chosen. However as the magazine has other modelling titles show showcased military, air and Sci fi hobbies so a good mix but certainly model railways seemed most active part of show when I was there on the Sunday- well worth a second visit as hall was booked for a show in 2025 same weekend.

Markleman Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Is the loco near and everybody is FAR AWAY? The military people have a lot of good scenic material and paints which railway modellers can use. I see the comments and I might try to get along next year. 1 1 Quote
