Anyone been to Sandown Park?

Dec 30, 2004 7 Replies

Having been sorely disappointed on my last two visits (slow learner, see), I swore off it this year.



Anyone been? Has it improved at all?


There were lots of people there on the 29th; really crowded. I suppose it depends on what you're looking for. There were some big names missing from the trade stands, such as Reeves 2000, Modelworks Int, Polly didn't have any of their loco kits on display and Cheddar weren't there either. However, the competition models were superb. Overall I though it had gone down hill from last year. Let's hope the London MEEX will be better.

If it was downhill from last year its getting pretty low now!

I'm glad I didn't bother.

John Myford are very unhelpful regarding their older products, I suspect they took all their old drawings and burned them when they launched the ML7 ;-) If your ML4 is like mine, it has the same spindle nose thread as the ML7 and an MT2 taper in the bore, but I also have a spindle from an ML2 or ML4 which has a much smaller thread and an MT1 taper in the bore.

I have had a Myford lathe for 40 or more years. I have at all times found the company and their staff to be obliging, patient, helpful and a delight to have dealings with.

I reckoned it was far better than last years. There were some excellent models to see, including the latest offering from Cherry Hill.

More club stands than before, also with some nice models on.

For those who didn't get there, there are some photos at:
