Advance ticket sales for 2019 have now closed. Tickets will of course still be available at the door.

Here are couple of video clips that I took of the two locos whilst they were on the Society stand at Railex in May

Flux-off, great stuff, recommended by John Brighton many years ago during the 'Powerflow Flux War' mentioned above.

Just one of several places it can be bought

I would have thought that "Passed" meant reached the reserve price. Tony. From Sotheby's glossary of auction terms: "Pass/Unsold - Terms used by the auctioneer when an item fails to reach its reserve at auction." There is also the buyer's premium on top, more than 25%! And if th...

For those of you who don't use facebook or do, but don't follow the Scalefour Society, here are some images from Wells that have been posted on our page earlier today: 68488030_2602565466443519_2404468381886447616_n.jpg 68311388_2603639296336136_7914364540173680640_n.jpg 67701760_2602604756439590_36...

I may have missed this, but is it really necessary to print out the ticket for Scale4 ? I binned my printer years ago. Won't the email receipt do it ? regards Mike Hi Mike, Ticket, e-mail receipt, QR code, phone or failing that I will have something very old fashioned called a list, besides which, ...

I see it's now re-opened as the Polka Hop. As this is a species of morris dance I fear it may not have regained its former ambience. The Pennsylvania Polka features quite prominently in the film Groundhog Day, perhaps every day is the same in Wakefield :lol: certainly Scalefour North always seems t...

It appears that this is one of those matters where members have 'voted with their feet'; Just to clarify, name badges for visitors to Scaleforum (and this topic is supposed to be about this year's Scaleforum) have been available to order by members and non-members when purchasing an advance ticket ...

There was a campaign (by Danny I think it was - pre forum) to publish pictures of members of the society so we would recognise other members. Some people took advantage of this. I've just checked my back-up hard-drive and I still have them. They were of members of Bill Bedford's e-list, not specifi...

It strikes me that a badge is a rather passive tool in attempting to increase the social interaction that David is missing out on and certainly isn’t going to address the problem of “a lonely takeaway in your hotel room after the show.” I appreciate that some people are more reserved or shy than oth...

Excellent show and great fun as always. Thanks to all who stopped at the Society Stand for a chat or to ask a question.

I should like to say something about the social fringe. The case for this is strengthened by the arrival of a party, clearly composed of distinguished guests, escorted by a member of the Committee and later joined by others. It would have been nice for the mere mortals to be introduced to the disti...
