I guess the last post had my favourites from Tonbridge.  But there were plenty of layouts to see, and here are most of the rest…. We’ll start with Feltham Road (OO).  Loco shed layouts are the current in-thing, I guess, … Continue reading →

Tonbridge MRC show 2023 #1

Posted on February 18, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Saturday morning and a visit to the Tonbridge show – by train.  I was going to do this in 2019, but there were engineering works and a replacement bus service, so I just didn’t bother.  Then came covid….  The trip … Continue reading →

Erith MRS exhibition 2023

Posted on January 30, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Saturday, and another morning in the company of Mr Dawes.  Collected early to have time for a breakfast – as a retired milkman, I’m convinced that Allan knows every cafe in the south-east…..  Even after a top-up of tea and … Continue reading →

Canterbury MRS exhibition 2023

Posted on January 24, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Last Saturday, I paid a visit to the Canterbury show with Messrs. Dawes and Atfield.  Visiting shows like this is also good for the drive there through the countryside.  Saturday was no exception, and a cold, sunny morning was best … Continue reading →

Posted on January 22, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Here’s the flyer for April.  Black and white so that I can run them off at home – though of course my laserjet cartridge gave up when I tried to print a batch. Meanwhile, Wednesday’s running session included a slight … Continue reading →

ESNG exhibition 2023 – what’s happening

Posted on January 18, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

We were (or rather, I was) a bit slow getting a show together for April, so we’ve moved our annual show to the end of September this year, and will hold an Open Day at our usual time around Easter.  … Continue reading →

Stuttgart – 2022 #6 – A postscript

Posted on December 12, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

I thought that I had finished, but Duncan sent me some more pictures (with a leaning towards narrow gauge) and comments. Snow scene of the Harz narrow gauge in 6.5mm gauge. Interesting night-sky backscene with iluminated stars. Overall winner of … Continue reading →

Stuttgart – 2022 #5

Posted on December 8, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

Final pictures from Stuttgart, with the other layouts and modular systems. I’m not sure from the hall plan whether these are modules or standalone layouts – but both are lovely models.  I think my show favourite is this model of … Continue reading →

Stuttgart – 2022 #4

Posted on December 6, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

I’ve often seen criticism of the Stuttgart layout and modular systems in general that (a) it’s unrealistic and visually poor to have different scenery from different locations on adjacent modules, and (b) that the total mix of trains is not … Continue reading →

Stuttgart – 2022 #3

Posted on December 4, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

One of the pleasures of the Stuttgart meet is operating a section of track – without any complex junctions and other pointwork.  You need to be alert enough to spot trains coming, and whether there is room down the line … Continue reading →
