RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted November 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2019 Enjoy the day, it’s too far for me to come unfortunately. Hopefully you’ll still be on the circuit (occasionally) when I’m closer. If I go anywhere on Saturday it will be the Newcastle exhibition.

Bungus the Fogeyman Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Well, a good day playing on Clives train set. One or two gremlins but nothing that a few well-placed obscenities couldn't cure! Thanks mate. Disgusting of Market Harborough 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth the journey in the fog from Louth to Coventry in the morning and heavy rain from Solihull to Newark on the way back. Layouts are like children ( or old folk) well behaved at home but like to show you up when out and about. 7 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One small matter though.........will you be wearing a kilt ? Humph ! AH! The traditional man's man Scottish skirt, designed by an Englishman. "A letter written by Ivan Baillie in 1768 and published in the Edinburgh Magazine in March 1785 states that the garment people would recognize as a kilt today was invented in the 1720s by Thomas Rawlinson, a Quaker from Lancashire. After the Jacobite campaign of 1715, the government opened the Highlands to outside exploitation, and Rawlinson went into partnership with Ian MacDonnell, chief of the MacDonnells of Glengarry to manufacture charcoal from the forests near Inverness and smelt iron ore there. The belted plaid worn by the Highlanders he employed was too "cumbrous and unwieldy" for this work, so, together with the tailor of the regiment stationed at Inverness, Rawlinson produced a kilt which consisted of the lower half of the belted plaid worn as a "distinct garment with pleats already sewn". He wore it himself, as did his business partner, whose clansmen then followed suit." In answer to your question I will not be wearing said garment as members of the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (which I served in) were not entitled to wear a kilt when attached to a highland infantry regiment. In some regiments the REME would wear the TOS (tam o' shanter) or Glengarry, in others the regimental tartan behind their cap badge on their beret. 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted March 1, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Glasgow was an enjoyable weekend. Sorry no photos by me. I forgot to take my phone charger so to save battery in case there was a problem on the return trip I didn't use it. Came home with a new Bachy class 47, it is a very very nice model. Four Triang Mk2 coaches, the bloke selling was reluctant to sell me all four as one had a missing coupling hook. The disbelief on his face when I said I was going to be cutting out all the windows and making them into a (Please guess the class of EMU to get your "Clever little toad award"). Some Bachmann motors drive shafts and class 40 bogies for my nearly started class 40 conversions form Tri-ang class 37s. I am giving up model making, now Heljan are making the one scratchbuilt main line diesel loco that had not been copied by them or any other manufacturers. And I told them so. Thankfully they are doing 10800 in its early state and my model is after it was rebuilt as Hawk. I also told KR models off for making GT3, Accurascale for not doing the class 31 in green with small yellas and Cavalex for wasting their time on putting the underside detail on their MGR hoppers as good modellers don't make train sets where the stock falls off to show the under frame detail. The layout performed very well, only one point push rod needed repair. Stock done well except the Lima bubble car. Not too many operator errors. A BIG THANK YOU to Paul (Lyddrail) for his help and company this weekend. Edited March 1, 2022 by Clive Mortimore 12 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
