| 55 | slimgym. seeing as you are in chch, have you heard any rumours about acorn models closing. i have heard from 2 people who thought it was. it would be a real shame if they do. treecave - 2012-06-19 20:27:00 |

| 63 | slimgym.. good luck there. i wont go to st asaph st. shop unless its a last resort. i usually find acorn very helpful especially if you get jan. smurf14....as a side issue britannia is now closed to the best of my knowledge but thanks for update on the trainman. will have to check it out next time i'm in chch.

| 64 | went and had a quick look at the trainmans shop. not bad but quite small and still being stocked up by the look of it. i see brittania are still operating but just to get rid of their stock and they are going to the ashburton show next weekend. they have some pretty good price reductions if anyone is looking at having a wee spend. loco's and rolling stock are mainly hornby.

| 68 | so who ended up going. i thought it was a dam good show. plenty of layouts and even a few good bargains from the traders treecave - 2012-07-08 22:01:00 |
| 69 | It was great to see so many people there and thank you to all those people that helped make such a great event smurf14 - 2012-07-09 18:41:00 |
| 70 | Yep it was good,spent a couple of hours there.Good thing to have in town in mid winter. It would seem I didnt win the raffle. Edited by flopsie at 6:50 pm, Mon 9 Jul flopsie - 2012-07-09 18:49:00 |
| 71 | And we will be back in 2 years time - mean while there is ChCh in October smurf14 - 2012-07-09 19:00:00 |
| 72 | well after the tinwald train show i got my enthusiasm (sp) back and finally finished wrecking my old layout and have got the baseboard made for the new layout. hope to get the legs fitted tuesday night and the mdf top on then start all over again. does anyone here use trackbedding or just tack the track to the mdf. i have used the bedding before but its getting too dam expensive so thought i might go direct to the mdf this time. not sure how noisy it will be though.

| 73 | hey treecave when you start building your new set you have to upload a picture of the helix. just curious to see how it comes out. always wanted to try it but havent got the room to put it in. selena10 - 2012-07-17 19:57:00 |
| 74 | the track will be too noisy if you lay it straight onto the mdf - you could try using cork floor tiles as I have done on my layout. I am starting to plan another layout for myself also. smurf14 - 2012-07-18 19:44:00 |

| 85 | i would rate this show as the best for many years. there seemed to be more layouts than previously and a few new ones and plenty of traders. picked up some good, cheap hornby carriages from brittania models and went home happy. treecave - 2012-10-06 21:43:00 |

| 92 | latest project is to build a static grass applicator. ordered the parts from aussie and a few extras so if it works expect to see some cheap (compared to manufactured ones) applicators for sale on TM. treecave - 2013-01-08 21:40:00 |
