RMweb Gold queensquare Posted October 3, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2011 Just thought I would start a thread to see who is going to the AGM this weekend and as somewhere to put all those photos of layouts, models and competition entries for those who can't make it. Don't worry if you haven't quite finished those entries, there is an area for projects in progress which is always worth close inspection. For details see http://www.2mm.org.uk/events.html Also don't forget your membership card which will gain you free access (saturday only) to the adjacent Farnham clubs show which itself has a fantastic lineup this year. See http://www.farnhammrc.org.uk/ I will be on Totnes, (or having a play on Wenford Bridge) when not at the AGM so come and say hello cheers Jerry ps. its my birthday on the 8th so feel free to shower me with gifts!!!!

2mm Andy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'll be there (not that I really have a choice, being Secretary!). I'm working on a few bits that will hopefully be finished in time for the competition (and if not, they'll be on display on the work in progress table).

backofanenvelope Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I am attempting to be there, depending on work issues.. Looking forward to seeing all things 2mil and meeting up with folks. Have my wagon kits and am putting ordering in for bits.. No news about social from the terrible 2mm two Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted October 3, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2011 I won't be there due to the distance and working, so any photos popped up here would be great. Too all of you going have fun and I feel that Jerry should be serenaded as it's his Birthday, maybe the bumps as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richbrummitt Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Cheers Andy, just got to track down another Ibertron chassis and an old Peco Peckett body now! Jerry I have a beaver kit for a GWR 1366 class if that would be a substitute? You would need to find a minitrix dock tank chassis or similar though.

Chris Higgs Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I have a beaver kit for a GWR 1366 class if that would be a substitute? You would need to find a minitrix dock tank chassis or similar though. You are kidding I hope. I remember having one of these chassis many years ago. It ran so badly it made even a Dapol M7 look good! I shan't be at the AGM. In the end the cost and time just proved too much, and I need the money for some family related bills.

I think I have a dock tank chassis kicking about somewhere from my 009 days, but I'd agree with Chris on it's lack of running capabilities!

Andy Indeed it is so if anyone has a Peco Peckett body in any state of repair I'd be keen to give it a new home. John has a severly chopped up Beaver 1366 on a scratchbuilt chassis that often gets a runout on Wenford Bridge Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the 1366 kit requires a new home and is a dock tank iirc. I have a bunch of items in a 'clearout pile' and this is in it. The dock tank is the recommended method of propulsion according to the box. I had one in my first train set and I too remember how bad they were.

I might be interested, but never having seen one of the Beaver kits, I'm not sure how accurate/useful it is. cheers, Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the replacement bus service to/from? I'm guessing that you'll pass Basingstoke? Depending on timing I could offer a collect/return service from there and save you the bus/taxi at the other end? PM me if you feel this would be helpful and I'll see if arrangements could work.

Thanks for the offer Rich most kind but the engineering works are between Haslemere and Guilford. I could go via Woking but it would take an hour longer as the Woking trains run from Southampton The Guilford trains run from Portsmouth Harbour. The journeys not too bad really its just all the changes Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2mm Andy Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Blimey Kris - some of us only just got home! (not that I had time to take any photos anyway!) I would expect to see some on the 2mm VAG later in the week. Paul Martin was taking lots of photos at the meeting and of the competition entries, but he is involved in the exhibition so will be on duty today as well. I'm sure someone will have some photos of Jerry and the collection of pots he acquired at the show (congratulations to Jerry and all the other award winners - some truly stunning models!). Anyway, it was a thoroughly good 'do' - the official business was completed in almost record time and I think a good day was had by all. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
