I have just added the stand names to the plan

[Horsetan]

As ever, it's 5,6, 12, 26-8, 33, 46 and 51 which I'll be concentrating on......

No room for the famous Club test track this year, so no danger of certain German HO engines appearing....

[David Bigcheeseplant]

We have never had the test track at Railex but it has been to Scalefourum

[Horsetan]

We have never had the test track at Railex but it has been to Scalefourum

Aha, that explains it. I did run a Swiss C5/6 on it a couple of years ago. Brian Harrap then let me turn down the leading pony wheels to something approximating P87 standards on his lathe.....

[Terry Bendall]

We have never had the test track at Railex but it has been to Scalefourum

And hopefully it will be there again in September.

[Tim V]

And Brian's lathe?

[Re6/6]

Not this time Tim I'm afraid.

He'll be in Poland!

[David Bigcheeseplant]

We have never had Brian at Railex as a demo but have had his layout.

[Horsetan]

Not this time Tim I'm afraid.

He'll be in Poland!

....probably with his lathe.....

[Brian Harrap]

Not this time Tim I'm afraid.

He'll be in Poland!

....probably with his lathe.....

Poles need their wheels turning too. Baron.

Just a bump as RAILEX is just over a week away.

We had a meeting with the stadium and it seems that there will be a redevelopment in 2017/18 the main hall and accommodation will stay but the bowl centre will be replaced with a new hall the size of six badminton courts with is half the size of the hall we use now so there may be the chance to increase RAILEX by 50% although to be fair the size we use now is about right.

As per previous years our free vintage bus will be running from Aylesbury station to RAILEX and return both days, on Saturday it will run up to every half hour on Sunday every hour. Both RAILEX entry tickets and programmes can be brought on the bus.

Would that be a pole lathe then?.....

[David Bigcheeseplant]

The bus timetable is now on our web page www.railex.org.uk

As in previous years it you arrive at the stadium early tickets can be brought at the front desk from 8am and you can eat in the café or the balcony over looking the show until the exhibition opens.

[David Bigcheeseplant]

RAILEX is this weekend

For those parking in the stadium car park there are signs saying parking can be for a maximum 2 or 3 hours. Don't worry the number plate cameras will be switched off and you can stay at Railex as long as you wish.
