Rochelle Intermodal can be seen at the Dartford Model Railway Exhibition this coming Saturday & Sunday (23rd & 24th Jan) in the new 23ft format.
Have a look on the Exhibitions page for more information.
Looking forward to seeing you there – please pop by and introduce yourselves! At present this will be the last time Rochelle Intermodal will be at a show till late Summer (possibly August), so be sure to come have a look.
My next project will be installing the new BLMA signals on the layout and getting the computerised automation finished off, so keep an eye on my website for progress reports.

The Benson NMRA Winter Meet has been postponed till further notice, due to the weather. On Thursday evening Benson was the coldest place in the UK, recording a temperature of -17.7C (0.14F)…so plenty of snow and ice…not really the best conditions for driving vans!
I’ll let you know when the Benson meet has been rescheduled. In the meantime it will allow me to get the local control panels wired in time for the next show on 23rd/24th Jan at Dartford.

Rochelle Intermodal can be see at the NMRA’s Benson Winter Meet this coming Saturday (9th Jan) in the new 23ft format.
Details on this show can be found on the NMRA British Region website.
Apologies for the lack of updates this past month, but unfortunately work has taken priority! I’ll hopefully have some time after Benson to upload photos of the new boards and update you with a bit more information.
If you can’t make the Benson show, Rochelle will be appearing again in two weeks at the 2-day EMRS Dartford show on 23rd/24th January – more details on the Exhibitions page.
More to come soon!

Rochelle Intermodal will be at the 2009 Tolworth show this coming weekend, 14 & 15th November. And great news…it will be the new extended version! With the generous help of Pete Blake, from the Seaboard Southern club, I am almost finished with the two new industrial switching boards…just doing the last bit of scenic work, then will test them with the adjoining boards. Hopefully all works as expected, but am expecting the usual gremlins!
So, come visit me at Tolworth this weekend, otherwise keep an eye on this site for photos of the new modules.

Just a reminder that you can see Rochelle Intermodal at the Seaboard Southern North American Railroad Exhibition this weekend, down in Horsham, West Sussex – more details on our website:Â www.seaboard-southern.org.uk/exhibition2009.asp
Unfortunately it won’t be the new extended version as hoped, as my day job has got in the way of progress – I haven’t worked on the layout for over a month, so couldn’t get the new extension ready in time. However, it will be done in time for Tolworth in November.
Hope to see some of you at the Seaboard Southern show – be sure to pop over and say hi!
