RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted January 31, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2011 Eltel, the super dooper bright and shiny guide books for the show are nearly finished, you will have your 100 for the packs tomorrow. Do they have a photo of Clint Eastwood with poncho, six shooter and ciggy on the cover? (ps have you still got that Ivatt tank?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 37058 Posted February 1, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2011 I shall be visiting on the Sunday....Love this show, been going up quite a few years now Cheers Guys, Anthony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny W Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Its always been a shame that we have clashed as both shows are well worth the visit, concentrating on the quality end of exhibition layouts, neither of us accept duff layouts (thats not a ban on layouts featuring class 47s) The other good thing is we can now reciprocate visits with each clubs layouts' and it has also removed a slight stumbling block to featuring a certain large MMRS layout at Stafford (most of the operating crew are members of the RMRG as well!)heres to the success of both shows! Agree with that I've been deciding which to go to this weekend. Rochdale is closer but there are two layouts at Stafford I want to see. Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leander Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Agree with that I've been deciding which to go to this weekend. Rochdale is closer but there are two layouts at Stafford I want to see. And nothing you want to see at Rochdale? Still, you won't have to make the choice after this weekend! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonside1563 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Do they have a photo of Clint Eastwood with poncho, six shooter and ciggy on the cover? (ps have you still got that Ivatt tank?) Now that's a thought for the year the 'OUATITW' makes its first working appearance... although perhaps it could be Old Gringo, complete with wooly hat and goggles! In answer to your PS... yes, will bring it along to the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markmiller2008 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Doing something with my Sound locos is definatly the right thing to say! My 25 may be transfer-ed up once i visit the Replica stand for the transfers but im partically wanting to have the sound going on that most of the time!

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted February 3, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2011 All the very best to all at Rochdale this weekend, lets hope that both Rochdale & Stafford clubs have a great weekend. The change of date of Rochdale exhibition does at last mean I and many Stafford members are able to visit the Rochdale exhibition in the future, and I hope each others club layouts will get the chance to attend each others exhibition.

Leander Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 All the very best to all at Rochdale this weekend, lets hope that both Rochdale & Stafford clubs have a great weekend. Thanks for your kind wishes Terry. Likewise, we hope that the Stafford show is a roaring success, and we look forward to being able to visit the Stafford show on a regular basis from February 2012. Good luck! Pete Rigby RMRG Exhibition Manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Cook Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Missile batteries armed, ready to repel boarders.

G-DIMB Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 This is one of the few shows of the year i get to go to. I always rate it in both the layouts and the trade. Personally i could watch Coppell all day and probably will. Worst bit will be picking up SWMBO after a day shopping in Birmingham and her whinging at me for spending too much money. I wonder how much i can fit in the spare wheel well of the car..... Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted February 4, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2011 Will be over at the showground some time this morning Terry, leaving as soon as the kids are at school and the rubble skip has gone. By the way, I noticed on one of those voucher code websites that there was a promotional code for free beer at the show..... To redeem it all anyone has to do is find 'ElTel' and utter the words "you look great in pink tights and fairy wings". That's what the site said anyway.... ;-) (Honest....)

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted February 4, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2011 Safe journey folks. Top tip which I should have posted last night for new folk appearing at Stafford is that the hall tends to be a bit chilly on the Friday set up. This is because the large roller doors are open and the site is on top of a hill. Would advise bringing warm clothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
