SWAG RMweb Members Day 2024

[David Mylchreest]

I arrived shortly after 11 and it was a really nice show, lots of good modelling with much socialising going on too. Regrettably I didn't last long, the lack of ventilation causing my chest to misbehave. I fled to the air-con in the car!

Morning,

Well, I think it went well. Lovely to meet up with so many old friends and make new ones as I certainly met quite a few visitors for whom it was their first visit to SWAG. It certainly seemed busier than last year with a rough count from the catering and bring and buy supporting that feeling.

Lovely to have Simon along with his big boys toys and meet up with a few fellow Western Thunderers.

These were taken before the doors opened.





I'll post a few more images later.

Thanks for this Rob, I was just telling my wife about all the model railway shows in the UK. Where I live we get one huge show once a year and it is exhausting. I would much prefer a few smaller shows like the one you have shown.

Thanks all.

I add more photos as they are posted. I can confirm that we have secured the funds to be able to do this again next year.

When appropriate, I'll post details.

Jamie Warne aka Southern Region Steam is a very talented modeller and has had his work featured in BRM as well as being commissioned by BRM to photograph layouts for the magazine.
He is also a very nice chap.

One day I would love to attend but a round trip of somewhere near 400 miles is a but much for 77 year old.

That looks like a very pleasant day showing some fine work. I think I prefer that sort of gathering to the rather soulless giant exhibitions.
