General Discussion / Re: My local bus stopLast post by Graham - Today at 04:55:25 AMsometimes when I see a picture like this, I yearn for my trips to Sydney, then I kick myself and thank retirement that I don't have to be there almost every week.

N Gauge Discussion / Re: Ebay Is Dead To MeLast post by Newportnobby - Yesterday at 09:46:10 PMSadly, the ages of the folk who have the stock and run shows/exhibit at them means a decline in the numbers of layouts appearing. Take James Street as an ideal example - age has caught up with those who set it up/run it/break it down
The best show in the NW i.e. Wigan show ceased because the club members admitted they were too old to face doing it any more. There's no denying model railways are generally run and manned by the elder statesmen of the hobby, and their numbers are decreasing due to age/health #16
N Gauge Discussion / Re: Ebay Is Dead To MeLast post by njee20 - Yesterday at 08:48:57 PMI'm sure Chris Morris said in his capacity with the Warley club that the show didn't shrink, and any perception of that was purely based on rose tinted glasses about how good things were in the olden days. I'm sure there was some variation year-on-year, but not the endemic shrinking some would suggest.

When I quoted "I guess the best of this hobbies days are pretty much over!" It was aimed at comparing shows that were once heaving with attendees and stalls, unlike today where everything has shrunk. Warley around 14 years ago, compared to other shows was like entering a city for model railways, but each year I attended it got less and less and the walkways wider. Such a sad thing to witness. Ally pally was a fave of mine too, now that's barely worth the visit and I only live about 17 miles away! #18
