DLR Might be exibiting if they send me the form if not imight just bring my locos Titan Unfortunately I am otherwise engaged on those dates damit! James Eeee that ain't good! Titan Good News! Earlier commitments have changed dates - I am now available, can come on Sunday at least! I hope its not too late to get in? James YES! Errm well we ain't booked in yet! The spanner didn't send me a form (they've changed it to Steam, Oil and WInd day now) There will be a free vintage bus from the museum to the working windmill up the hill, and then back down again! Will be great! He's sending me an application form now, I'll scan it (try) and post it up for anyone who wants to go to send off   Steamgirl Sad that I can't make it - it was a very good day last year.  We went to the windmill as well, but we had to walk.  I would so love to come this time because vintage buses = another of my obsessions     There's a pub called the Strugglers Arms nearby which does a cracking pint of Everards and an enormous plate of fish & chips, well worth investigating.  Someone also told me that the Victoria(? I think) just behind there was a good real ale pub. (er, yes, that is another obsession... ) James Right ho guys I've got the application forms. If you want to exhibit on sunday 4th and bank holiday monday 5th (I'll only be there sunday), then let me know ASAP via PM so I can fill in a form for you and get it sent off. Cheers and look forwards to seeing you there. James James HEre's last year's do: http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/ftopic3704-0.php Nick Looks like a good time, but your last year display was missing a certain "thing". Nick Have you come up with a new exhaust? Super duper exhausted steam catcher   johnreid Both of my 25s would just blow that cup off Real interesting place James, I especially like the WWI tank, you dont see many of those. James I excel at making exhausts   James Last orders guys! James Well I've just finished loading up! Atticman Hope its a good day James, wish I could be there.   Hope theres some pics as well as plenty of steam   johnreid James wrote: Well I've just finished loading up! Nothing like getting loaded and then going someplace, dont get arrested for drunken disorderly, OK? James Well bugger me, I've had a great day. Went this morn, got set up, was stood looking at the Marshall TE in steam when Titan pulled up   Then when I were walking through the shed, I heard a familiar sound of "Ayup me duck!", looked round, the one and only David (Stilldrillin) and his mate were there!   Then later, DLR came with his amazing Roundhouse loco   Eeeee we've had a great day, AND, guess who is on with buying a SECOND SE4       James Everybody who came and looked at the stand were real nice, had some great conversations! James Just before the pics are uploaded... I steamed the SE1a workshop about 4 times, Bowman M158 3 times (straightened the crank, now it runs an apsoloute dream), Fleischmann constantly for 2 1/2 hours, Wilesco roller 3 times. And!!

I took your pic   James There was another bloke with Mamods there, he had an SL3 that ran on air, on a track, with a setup so that when it got to the end of the track, the forwards/reverse lever switched over and it went backwards/forwards be itself   The Lincoln Longwool display (I'm donating a new fleece for the display, the current one is shoddy)   MTA James wrote: MTA wrote: You couldn't have seen me.

Poor Mark sitting there at the table while your of galavanting   Who? Its STURROCK Glad you had a good day guys!   You done the forum proud again! Stilldrillin WOW! What a crackin` day! We arrived about 10.15. Almost immediately met James...... "Heyup ma duck!" (He loves that), then Mark, who was minding the table. I`d brought along a few engines he might like to see, so he made a bit of space for them. After a chat, I showed him how the hot air engine worked, and left him operate it. I met Titan & DLR who were running the railway display Then off outside to see the stationaries & other displays. I especially liked this one... So much happening in every corner.... A conducted tour of the museum by James allowed us time to talk, and to get to know each other better. During the day a nice young lady gave me a brass plaque! Seems I was an exhibitor!     All too soon it was time to leave.   Another lovely show, with not enough hours in the day to fully appreciate it all. (Always the same, innit.....) steamyman Great pics James and David   . johnreid Wow, that is a nice plaque, Thanks for posting the additional pictures. James Thanks mate! They are great pics David! Had another great day today aswell   Les James wrote: There's an SEL lathe in the top pic BTW Les!   It's Land Rover's 60th birrthday today, and there was an old Series one... which can plough     I saw that but most of it's missing. Les Glad you all had a great day and thanks for the pictures. steamgranny Some people have all the fun   As I sit in my black hole, void of steam.
