Our Summer Open Day takes place on Saturday 29th June 2024, 10am-3.30pm.
With 9 layouts plus traders, is bound to be a good one.
Please do come along and say hello, regards Charlie.
Thanks again for the Head's up me and swimbo will be coming up Brighton Might bring My Late Mothers Favorite Loco "Hogwarts Express" to give her a run round your Dcc Track I'll be bringing my Pocket Money.
This is what I love about the channel Charlie. You look after everyone. Roads closed? No problem as you kindly provide a solution for us model railway enthusiasts to get to the destination safely. I'm not sure that I will be able to get to this one but if I do I will say hello. Great work Charli.
Charlie, thank you for your great videos. I’ve recently subscribed to your channels and watched various videos that you have in your channel. I’m 36 years old and after about 2 years finally decided to get into the hobby (space really limited me in the past). Main reason is for my two sons who love trains. I’ve seen your DCC wiring videos which has cleared a lot of questions I had in my mind. I would like to go down the Digitrax route to future protect myself as my model grows. What’s unclear to me is what you initially need (power, controller, distribution etc) in the lead up to actually wiring the track. Would you be able to add in to your videos a description on what you need of everything prior to the bus wire i.e from the house mains to actually power the track for initial start up (Digitrax wise)?
I think the Exhibitions Manager needs a pat on the back for all his effort. I love the driving. Do you know a guy named Lewis ? Btw. I have booked my campsite for the wrong weekend !!
If I do come along to the event, I will most likely take the bus from Bridgwater. I will probably either make my way to Yeovil or Castle Cary – then connect onto the South West Coaches route 1 which would take me to Queen Camel, then walk from there
Sounds like a fab day out, sadly I'll be coming home from a few days in France so I shan't be able to attend!
As a side note, it's rather strange seeing stuff I've helped design on a screen in CAD come to life in the form of the A303 dualling project, since I'm employed by one of the consultants who helped design the project. Apologies to all for the chaos it has caused!
Charlie, good luck with the open day. I hope that everyone has a great time, and you get lots of new members. Bit far to travel from Australia for the week-end. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael
Would love to come, but living in central California makes it a bit tough to get to Somerset. Plus I drive on the wrong side of the road. Bill and Janet from California
I hope your road isn't under construction for as long as ours has been. One part of our new construction collapsed and we have been waiting 2 yrs. For them to rebuild. The whole project was to take 8 yrs I believe ( add 2) plus what's missing can't be done until the collapsed section is fixed. Est. Date for completion is 2026. Your job is at least 3 yrs. into it, you show your drive every year and it appears to still have quite a bit more construction to go. It does affect train shows. One wrong turn and they go home 💨😊
Another useful episode of Driving With Charlie. Are the posted speeds in MPG or KPH? Have you given the drive a go using phone-based navigation? Some of the online mapping tools are better than others (I know Android Auto helps me navigate the very twisted 600 year-old streets of Boston).
Sorry it's a bit too far from Cleethorpes by train, plus it's Armed Forces Weekend in Cleethorpes, and the landlady of my local expects me to do a shift behind the bar.
Always feels wierd how easily you UK guys make left turns HAHA (I don't drive myself mind you) I'm a canadian so we drive on the right and left turns always take so long in that case.
Thank yo for the info. We have booked a room at the Walnut Tree as we are comming from Kent. Looking forward to meeting you in person. Thank You Andrew & Teresa
Nice to know your at it again.
Hopefully, I'll make it again this year. But this time I'm going to miss out on Bristol completely. Because last time I got two penalty charges.

good vid on the channel of a train club and show keep up the good vids thanks lee
Would love to have come, 200 mile round trip worth it but money very tight this month
Hope all goes well Charlie, I remember A303, went downit when I visited Shaftesbury and that was probably twenty years ago
❤
I missed the last one, so I’m looking forward to this

Not the slightest chance I'm going to be there but I really enjoyed the trip round your part of Somersetshire. I hope you have a great day.
One Day…. When I make it back to UK
Charlie was that a Nissan blue bird that you pulled up beside?😅
Gutted. From the north west but camping in Kingsbury Episcopi the month after, would have like to have come along
Thanks for the drive, it's been 25 years since we attended a swapmeet there.
I think I spied a Nissan Bluebird in the car park when you pulled up (I know this is about model trains, but I am a classic car enthusiast).
Have a great day!!!!😊

Many thanks for the drive. Hopefully, it will be a good day for the weather on the day for everyone.
Mi piacerebbe venirvi a trovare, ma non mi fido troppo di tutta quella gente sul lato sbagliato della strada 😉
Charlie, good luck with the open day. I hope that everyone has a great time, and you get lots of new members.

Even though I have never been there, I feel as if I have thanks to your excellent video journey. The village is very sweet. 😊 Hope it is a success.

Haha .. sped up or not Charlie, me thinks you've got a heavy foot! 😉

Good luck to you and the club. It's a little far away for me to visit (from the Waveney Valley, East Anglia), but I'm sure it will be very successful.
Your "Drive to Davis Hall" is becoming an annual tradition. Who needs at SatNav?!
West camel model railway, where this?
☆☆☆☆☆
Charlie, you need to organize your exhibition in a spot where they don't do road works as much. Lol.
Roadworks still..???
That's a great little village there. About 3 hours from here though.
Hope all goes well Charlie I’ll be elsewhere celebrating our 50th anniversary 😮😅
graet video, always inspire me to work on mine.
