RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted June 13, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2014 Too late now if we have forgotten anything. Now at our overnight secret location with car tucked into a hedge and DCC etc in hotel rooms. speckled Hen or IPA on tap so nothing as nice as Ray etc are drinking. It will do for tonight though. See you all in the morning. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northpoint Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Jack and I have just returned from marking out. When I said the plan was subject to change right up to the last minute, I wasn't joking. One or two will find they are in a different location to where they thought they were. See you all tomorrow.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted June 13, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2014 You've been down the pub all afternoon and now you've marked the hall out??? B****r!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Weather been dry all day.... wouldn't you guess it rained when I wanted to load up.... Also strange how your car boot shrinks as soon as you start putting stuff in it ...plans to make my trestles the first things I take out haven't worked out ah well....

DanielB Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 That's exactly the reason I'm loading up in the morning - fingers crossed it wont be raining, as it's throwing it down here currently! Plus I want to play trains tonight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_redrooster Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I remember one year when we were marking out the halls of the Bracknell Railway Society Exhibition one of the 'helpers' came rushing over in a made panic. It appeared that none of the layouts fitted into their 'allocated' spaces. He'd marked out the hall out in metres and not feet !!!! Another humdinger that always sticks in my mind was when the Society Chairman asked one of the invited dignitaries 'how should I address the lady mayor?' to which they simply replied 'sir!' We took the pi55 out of him for years after that.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 IT'S TODAY!!!!!! Uh-oh.... better try & get some sleep - the trouble with working nights ....in the afternoon, I'll just look like I've been to the Pub.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted June 14, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2014 I had a reasonable nights sleep. First for a few days. Maybe the lack of beer the other nights was the problem! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I ended up with more of a "sleep-ette", really.... my lad woke up bunged up with hayfever at 3am. I've been awake ever since... If a certain O Scale layout has nothing happening on it this afternoon, look for an Operator fast asleep underneath it.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

298 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Why can't opening times be adjusted to suit those who work shifts and suffer from sleep-lag...? Its not like there's much on tonight anyway.... About to set off with Wiley, once I've checked that I've packed the leg bolts... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
