Strangely, I did exactly that yesterday after work. Beer Farm cask-conditioned IPA and Pale Ale to wash down a ploughman's lunch (well, it woudl have been lunchtime had I been in Great Britain) at the Duke of Clarence. https://beerfarm.com.au/ https://thedukeofclarence.com/ Page 4 of the menu was interesting - I haven't seen all six versions of Pimm's on sale for over 40 years. Too pricey for me though. It was also an excuse to toast the day my brother qualified for his all-Scotland bus pass. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, OTOH, just go via Paris and Eurostar, trusting GWR to whisk me down from Padlington............. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted October 27, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2019 Good to catch you briefly this afternoon Rob; with Nick & Brian there too it was a mini RMweb convention! Really do feel for you having to take the chairs out of 'Sheep 2' to get the layout there and afraid you may have set a precedent for the future. No bigger layouts! Hope you've had a good weekend anyway. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulgabill Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Good to see you again, at Rail - Ex Taunton. You were in some exceptionally good company, and held your own very well. Indeed my Mrs commented on overhearing a conversation between a punter, and to owner/operator of a very Welsh narrow guage layout. Said punter asserted that the NG layout had been modelled extremely well and accurately. Only to be toldby the operator that the modelling was nowhere near the standard of yours. Hopefully you can enjoy a better journey home, encouraged by your reception. See you at Yate (Weather permitting!) TONY 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham, always a pleasure! Kind regards, Nick. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted October 27, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2019 Thanks for your kind words, chaps. The run back was very straight forward with no issues what so ever. I must say I had a very nice weekend. By far the busiest show I have exhibited at but the host club were just great. Mutton attracted a lot of interest and generally worked okay. A few problems emerged but there was nothing too drastic. The Radials behaved themselves with lots of questions regarding Hornby or Oxford Radials etc And yes, there were a lot of Rmweb types about and jolly nice was it to see you all and I think it fair to say we had a bit of a chuckle. Oh.........and then this happened... 37 1 8 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted October 28, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2019 Morning all. Thank you gentleman, and Grahame, for your kind words. Yes, it did make up for the rugby though our little corner (Mutton and Bicsdale) was a tad subdued for a bit. Thoughts should now turn to Bleat Wharf ahead of it's appearance at the Edington show. However, I will attend to a few jobs on Mutton. I thoroughly enjoyed operating the layout over the weekend and there is a possible invite on the horizon which could see Mutton exhibited quite close to Eweminster next year.........We shall of course see what happens but it would be nice.

I am indeed, Steve. Totally unexpected given the very high standard of the other layouts on display. Hemyock was just lovely and End of the Line was very special to name but two.
