Not that I can find but Tŷ’n-y-Coedcae - Rod Hall's S7 layout plus St Oswalds – 7mm/O16.5 Gauge from the Sodbury Vale Group will be there along with two other layouts - 'Hogwash and Baloney' Mike Edmunds' American short-line layout in 7mm and 'Glanfa Newydd y Camlas' (New Canal Wharf) by Steve Neill (7mmNG), along with Jim Mcgeown's Connoisseur Models. The NewGOG website still refers to 2024 - not helpful!

All.
The information was loaded up onto UK Model Shops page which has since folded, I will once again load it onto here tomorrow

I would have thoiught that the GOG Events page and WT would reach a lot more 7mm scale modellers than UKModelshops. Events with 7mm & S7 interest I cross-post onto the ScaleSeven website Events page too.

Keeping the NEWGOG page up-to-date would be helpful too.

Enjoyed the show today and decided that I needed a Minerva 20T coal wagon in the Amalgamated Anthracite livery.

until I looked more closely


and once you’ve seen it you can’t unsee it. I bought the BR version instead for another project.

Which spelling mistake bothered you more?

I hadn’t got past the first one to be honest.

Now that you’ve flagged the second mistake it reinforces my decision not to buy it but it’s a pity that the errors got through.

I felt that it was an excellent, friendly show. I was there with Lord and Butler and trade was good though it appears numbers were slightly down on last year.
As ever, Fred and the team provided their usual excellent support to exhibitors and traders alike and I felt that the layouts were of an excellent standard, as is the norm.

This type of thing really doesn't help attendance:

NEWGOG

The South Wales 0 Gauge Show

Yes, the advance publicity could be improved upon.

We ( Lord and Butler ) do our bit re flyers in the shop, advertising our attendance via our thread on RmWeb plus I push it on my own threads but that doesn't necessarily reach the wider audience.

I'll mention it to Fred when I speak to him next.
