Just wondering! I've started to make plans for next year alot earlier so I can actually make it Who knows, as the forums grow, members will join our stand and then we will have to take the whole shed Although I shall be seeing Steels later in the year hopefully when we go to Amberley's Mid Summer Steam Show, possibly James as well on that event

Nice, you were quite quiet MM Did you have them on display and an appropriate area for steaming?


that was when we were setting up MTA MY mind was all over the place

We had the middle two tables for steaming...well some of SM's engines were nearer the steaming ones and Steelys hobbies SE3

Nope! no space! I think we'll struggle for room if a lot more people turn up to display!

there weren't many mobiles actually there MTA...just mamod ones a few Wilescos. A lot of people just ran stationary models and sat there steaming none

I had one table, Mike had one, James had 2, Sm had 1. Steely had one and there was only space to fire 2-3 engines at the front and 2 at the back.

There's room for another 2 tables one each end I think.....

Maybe! but there isn't any floor room to steam them moving! I took an SR1 and it just sat there and looked good on display!

We were standing right infront of some rail

if you want to see mobiles head up to the locos

When I go next year, I shall only probably bring mobiles anyway As my TE1A will astound you all when I run it on meths (goes bazerk!). Plus the apparently smooth running of 'Victor'

I had the Wilesco roller going backwards and forwards a bit on the table.

I kept falling over them bastarding rails All part of thefun, and made it all the more funnier I think

There was a small saddle tank loco there in steam aswell MTA.
