RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted August 6, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi everyone, I know this is very, very short notice, but I will be doing a short talk and a meet and greet at the The Model Railway Club rooms at Keen House this Thursday evening (August 9th). The Model Railway Club have very kindly agreed to facilitate us for this event and are also throwing their doors open to the general public. It would be fantastic to meet you there and answer any questions you have about Accurascale, the industry and what we are all about (except 'what models are we doing next?' no dice on that one!) We know it's short notice, but I just happen to find myself in London this week! I also heard a rumour about the club having a fully licenced bar?? Doors open from 7pm and the talk and Q&A begins at 8pm. I look forward to seeing you there for a chat! (P.S - I will also be on the following railtour so if you cannot make Thursday and you are on the train on Saturday I'll be happy to chat too!) More info: http://www.themodelrailwayclub.org/ Cheers, Fran 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted August 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Would be good to put a face to the name!I’m putting a massive logistical operation to this...Daughter, 7 (and 3/4 - that part is VIP) is at Dance class in Epsom, till 6pm, Wife at HS2 offices in Birmingham till 6pm. So.. I’ll head up as 5z00 to St Pancras, LIght Daddy +Kid support. Arrange kid refuelling, followed by swapping with Wife, who is returning home 9M84 Glasgow (1820 Birmingham Intl) to Euston, for 1933... Leaves me to be 0z00 to the model railway club in KX arriving just around 1959... So I will be the last one, that everyone stares at as I fall through the door in a sweaty mess nudging you just as you open the box containing your pressflo sample.. that suddenly richoets Into the air and lands up right onto the desk at 8pm. What could possibly go wrong ? Question is do you charge delay minutes for tardy arrivals ? Edited August 7, 2018 by adb968008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought 20 minutes on the tube was putting in the extra effort to get to the club house, think you better just go straight to the bar on arrival! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted August 9, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 9, 2018 Well I have arrived safely in London despite Ryanair insisting we sit on the tarmac of Dublin airport for over an hour before take off. Look forward to seeing you guys tonight. Doors open at 7, and I start to waffle on from 8! Cheers, Fran 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted August 9, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) About to put plan A into action, Meanwhile, the temperature being half what it was two days ago, means I’ve given the HUOs a run (just so I can bend an ear tonight if they didnt)... However they all passed with flying colours, well except the one that jumped, 48 seconds in. Edited August 9, 2018 by adb968008 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
