Exeter Garden Railway Show

The Exeter Garden Railway Show is an annual event held each October showcasing the best in all the popular garden railway scales and gauges.

Always a good variety of layouts and traders and a good cafeteria in the exhibition hall with plenty of free parking outside.

I shall be there with a new section of my Wolf Creek layout this year so say ‘hello’ if you fancy a chat !
 
I shall be there too, as one of a small team displaying the Whiteleaf Railway (43-foot end-to-end under catenary). This is an extended version of the 45mm gauge layout we exhibited at Bressingham last month, where we started to bring our Gauge 3 section back into use. With the extra length we will have at Exeter, we will have a destination for our "standard-gauge-on-narrow-gauge" transporter wagons.

Come and say hello if you are at the show. Last I heard we are going to be in the Studio (just off the main exhibition hall).

With so few of us able to make the lengthy journey, like PhilP, I'm not expecting to get much (if any) time to look round the rest of the show.

All the best

Thought I’d better have a trial assembly of the sections going to the show, it’s all fitted together as planned and running from the shuttle unit in the storage section. Having changed the wiring from layout mode to shuttle mode I’ve found the bit I forgot - mounted two switches to bye pass the isolated joints but now the backing board is on I haven’t cut a hole to access them ! Won’t take long to sort out !

Agree tis a b long way by car but eminently dooable by train if you can get a good price ticket and if the relevant trains are running in the day.
 
My throat/voice is looking forward to a pint of anesthetic, with my dinner..

4½ hours, IF the trains a doing what they should, so a long day, probably best to make a long weekend of it

I have done it a couple of times by train and look to it as a nice ride out on the trains, start around 0600 home around 2000 or possibly a bit before or after. The newish Station at Marsh Barton makes it much easier as it used to mean a walk from Exeter St.Davids into Town for a bus, the walk from MB to the Show site is somewhat similar thus the bus rids and time taken is saved. Trouble is these days there is always something that gets in the way, dog sits holidays etc.
