Just in case anyone is going specifically for it and travelling a long distance I think it should be noted that the Official 009 Society Sales Stand will not be there due to Lee's injury and recovery process as agreed between Stan and Lee. I just thought it needed clarifying as it's not clear from previous posts. Stan has clarified on another forum that he will have his local sales stand there, though!
I have posted the news about Rainford and the sales stand onto the website. There should be a banner at the head of the page as well as posts in the public and members' news areas.
We will be joined on Saturday 15th February in Rainford by Barry Williams (W>D Models) and he will be bringing some of his
WW1 stock along, but if you where looking for a particular item contact the website and he will try to bring those items with him.
The exhibition is now creeping up fast and we will be setting up the hall on the Friday Evening in readiness for the show.
Some great award winning layouts on show along with a host of NG Traders backing them up.
There will be lots of new and secondhand 009 models available on the day at very competitive prices, so an opportunity to fill
your boots.
See you on the day.
Stan.
Your chance on Saturday 15th February at the North West NG Show to see the superb work of Paul Windle.
Paul will have a number of his superb scratch built locos on display and your chance to place an order for you to have one in
your collection.
You will also be able to see a number of his locos working on some of the 009 layouts.
A good time now to check your Piggy Bank.
Stan.
We also hope to have Nick Welch join us and he will have copies of his book Ffestiniog Holiday on display.
Stan.
Well the wind is still blowing a gale this morning but the forecast appears to improve as the week goes on.
Looking at the forecast for the temperature next Saturday, they are talking of 12 degrees.
So we may open up the patio area for visitors to enjoy their lunch ?
Stan.
Notice to visitors,
The kitchen will be up and running by the time the doors open at 10am.
So there will be hot drinks and bacon butties available early doors.
Stan.
I have been informed by the ladies manning the kitchen, that the bacon butties will be available at lunchtime as well.
So sit down rest your wallet and enjoy a bacon buttie and a cup of tea and forget about everything else.
You know it makes sense.
See you there.
Stan.
Just finished setting up the halls for the show tomorrow.
Tables and chairs laid out along with 4 layouts.
Andrew Hastie (Dundas Models) has set up his trade stand in the main hall.
Looking forward to a great day tomorrow.
Stan.
WE have a replacement layout into the show in the form of an 09 layout.
The Estate Railway originally built by Chris Moseley and exhibited at Expong some years ago.
Now in the capable hands of Colin Oldfield (no his brother did nt write Tubular Bells ).
Stan.
Despite the bad weather reports from around the country, it appeared to have missed Rainford except for a bit of rain.
It was a huge success with visitor numbers up from 2019, so we must be doing something right.
Brilliant layouts, happy traders and lots of great comments from visitors.
Looking forward till next time.
Stan.
