RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted October 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 25, 2019 I'm here. After a bit of a tricky journey down M4/M5, Mutton is up. Hats off to the lads here. I arrived very late and within minutes Mutton was unloaded with the help of many hands eager to pitch in. Top stuff. Now sat in Harvester having a pint. Looking forward to the next two days.

I come and have a look and say hello when I get a chance. Don 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted October 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 25, 2019 Weather is rather poor tonight, not surprised Rob had a tricky run down. Hope it doesn't put off visitors tomorrow. I intend to come along on Sunday with our lad in tow and spend a good while enjoying the exhibits you have lined up, but it does depend on his levels of interest and patience. Hopefully catch a few familiar faces. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platform 1 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Another brilliant show, it just improves every year - well done chaps! Took a few pics but they're rather poor compared with what's already on the website. There was far too much to see in my 4½ hour visit, so I probably missed a few. My highlights were: the tiny working TVs in the electrical shop and many other novel details on Old Elm Road stunning Brighton East (at last I get to see it - thanks Kipford, hope your gremlins left when I did!) small but great Crossley Scrap technically intriguing and strangely compelling The End of the Line and the simple but very effective (brrr!) Tops Tor. I would've liked to have properly viewed Loftus Road, but the combination of dim lighting and crowds made it difficult - maybe another time/place? And Bewdley was very impressive, with a good period 'feel'. But very sad to hear - belatedly, must be living under a rock - that the prolific artist Alan Ward died last January, such a kind man. RIP Alan. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
