David Holman Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 If anyone is in the Birmingham area on Saturday, Fintonagh is at the above exhibition in the H Suite, Edgebaston. 10 30 to 16.00 makes for civilised hours, or would do if it hadn't taken me six hours to do the 160 miles from home... As the title infers, most layouts are mainland Europe in origin. Still interesting though, as always feel we can learn a lot from looking at other genre, even if it's a case of wouldn't do that in a hurry! Anyway, if you are going, do come and say hello. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone venturing on the roads around there is well advised to Google 'birmingham traffic' for a good idea of the current state of affairs, before venturing into it. Today, I took an hour and three quarters to transport someone the eighteen miles from Stafford to Wolverhampton hospital - the first three miles took forty five minutes. 160 miles in six hours is almost light speed...

Richard EH Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Enjoy euro-ex, it's usually a great show! Llangollen diesel gala for me... Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Holman Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Nice show, not the biggest, but very much along society lines, so a fair bit of specialist stuff. Particularly liked a G scale/15mm inglenook sidings layout which represented a WW1 trenches depot. Highly detailed figures and wagon loads. More off the shelf, but still good fun was a Faller (?) lady cyclist pedalling round and some animated chickens too (same source?), both on an HO layout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
