Latest news

The hall has been decided and by Friday I should have a date.

I have 3 traders - including some very "high up" stuff! - ready to agree once the date has been sorted.

Thanks again all
Jon

PS A raffle is planned - and also some money off vouchers will probably accompany the event programme

PRELIMINARY DATE

3rd March 2007.

Also that date is the Chesham Model Rail Exhibition - just down the road - so there will be two things for you to do.

If this date is OK and I haven't overlooked anything then I'll book one of the two halls this weekend.

There is a possibility of a bus connection service between the two shows.

Whats the parking facilities like?

It sounds interesting, but i'm always the youngest person at these things which can suck.

I could always do something on modelling in 3DS Max if i found the time, afterall it will become much more widely used with the release of KRS.

Most unlikely.

I would love to Go But Hopefully I will Be in Glasgow the weekend before For The UKTS Roadshow So Neither the budget or more importantly the health would stand up to two weekends on the trot Shame

Parking is good with a P&D car park opposite the 20 space park exclusive to the hall.

g0fthick - I can guarantee that you will not be the youngest. For one instance I'm probably a decade younger than you

a former user - shame. I will be producing a DVD of the event with talks etc - so maybe you'd consider getting that?

Just curious - Is this going to be an MSTS only event or are you going to extend the invite to the UK Trainz community?

I'm sure cross pollenation would be good for the hobby. They are a fairly sociable (if slightly blinkered

) community.

I have plans to include Trainz - and subject to space there should be one or maybe two Trainz 'demoers'.

Yet another provisional exhibitor:

Class 15 Preservation Group - thanks to Chris Bailey - bringing the whole sale stand - not just the train sim stuff.

Thanks Chris!

Shame. You never know - something might force a date change
