I've spent Boxing Day sorting out the app forms for STIA2012 and emailing those for whom I have valid email addresses. If you haven't had a confirmatory email drop me a line at fcrammond@hotmail.com otherwise I'll see you in February unless you come to our Meccano Day on Sunday 16th January (live steam Meccano on the Beam Floor, rest of the stuff in the Big Shed)
Cheers Fred |

Will people be allowed to bring single stuff eg locos to the rail section? | ||
| made-in-england |
Im sure if you came with a loco Titan would let you run on his layout or maybey even ask the chaps who run Freds layout. They have let me run on there before.

If you are already booked in there is no problem but if not there are elfnsafety issues regarding traceability. If you intend bringing operational boats, locos etc I would prefer it if you posted or even emailed me a form. Fred |
||
| fcrammond |
Message received, understood and replied to.

Oh beggar, missed this thread somehow, was going to see if I could bring a loco along
Oh well! |
||
| fcrammond |
You've still got two weeks to contact He Who Must Be Obeyed |
||
| DolwyddelanLightRail |
Oh, I thought it mentioned somewhere that applications etc had to be in by the 1st? | ||
| Sandman |
Why not drop Fred a quick PM and explain?? Fred will accommodate all toy steamers if he can. |
||
| Titan |
I think the deadline is most important for those who are having their own table and want to be included in the guide. If you're bringing your own loco as long as Fred does not need to make any special arrangements and is aware of whats happening before you steam it up it should be OK. All loco's are welcome on my layout - indeed if someone has something to run it gives my engines a break and a chance for me to see the rest of the show, so I like to encourage it whenever possible! | ||
| fcrammond |
The big advantage of being in charge is that you can modify the rules as you go along As someone once put it Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men. |
||
| DolwyddelanLightRail |
Ah fair enough! PM incoming!

Fred !
Fools 'N' Wise Men ! It was 'Douglas Barder' in the book 'REACH FOR THE SKY' of which the film was later created Hope that helps!! H2o |
||
| fcrammond |
Douglas Bader was quoting it , it predates him quite considerably I've seen it attributed to Solon.
Cheers Fred |
||
| H2o vapour |
Quite probable Fred,
Still one of the best quotes I know.. Looking forward to STIA Cheers Fred H2o |
||
| fcrammond |
Once I have finished clearing up the mess I made for Meccano Day I can get on with preparing for STIA Aaaaahh the joy to come! Fred |
||
| Douglas |
I'm in -Titan, looks like you might be getting the break this year
Would I be right in believing the railway is inside the pumping house, 2nd floor? [missed it last year, d'oh!!] |
||
| made-in-england |
Top Floor.. Just keep going until you run out of steps
|
||
| DolwyddelanLightRail |
And I suppose you don't mind someone else giving you a break as well Titan? |
||
| fcrammond |
There should be five railways up there. Two Mamod, two Bowman/Bassett Lowke and a tinplate gauge1 (bing maerklin etc.)
Enjoy. |
||
| Titan |
The more the merrier! | ||
| Douglas |
Awesome. I think all three of my locos are going to be coming for a stretch - mind chaps, I would like to sell two of them to save for an Accucraft. |
