If it's next year - I should have my little loco built!
Will there be any track for those with Mamod locos to show off? Someone could get in touch with some of the 16mm Association people and see what can be done?
I'm sure Jame's enthusiasm and love for live steam will get some support from the other Steam Forums and clubs etc too? |

You'll have to plan for something to go wrong with your car lad

Will probs be mid- May 2009  |
It’s a good idea James,
But may I be the voice of reason here - as most of us have to drive 6 to 10 hours each way to get there may I suggest you do it on a SATURDAY over a long weekend such as next years "Spring Bank holiday" 24 - 26th May.
That way we have time to get there, stay on the Saturday night and still have plenty of time to get back home afterwards.
The bank holiday at the beginning of May is to early as most people are ding DIY and sorting out there gardens etc. And as MTA said any later and most people are all a bit busy with summer in full swing.
If you advertise it early enough I am sure a lot of the overseas Forum members may even consider swinging by. |
Like us. 
School isn't out in May so sometime in school holidays would suit us better. But even if it's May you may still see me.
It would, however, be a shame not to bring Andrew. He knows how to fire all the engines.

Gil,
You can pick up transatlantic bargain air fares for less than the excess baggage charge for bringing any engines.

And being in the Summer time... it could be named something cultured
like the "Mid Summer Steam ".... Being about half way around the calendar from the STIA event would give you maximum attendance
<sulk> Sounds fun in my dreams...sigh!!! Would be nice to see you guys and your engines ....

I left the nights out on purpose-- I figured it would be in the day
plus the young lads seem to eschew the cultured references... like Monty Python...

Aye, I also associate both Will Shakespeare and Monty Python with high culture. I assume that the common riff raff might not appreciate such high brow references.
