Arthur Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Well I had a very enjoyable morning for my first Larkrail visit on Saturday. A lovely selection of fine layouts and a spot of lunch courtesy of the good Cap'n. The show had very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, marvellous. Good to catch up with some of the Taunton regulars, and to hear some firsthand tales from Mike about his recent nautical jaunt. Also nice to see the ever genial Simon and I spent a half hour or so in his enchanted emporium, a magical place that transformed me from wealthy man to pauper..... Still, I shall be a well read pauper! Picked up this on a whim; Fascinating stuff, it contains maps, plans and photographs spanning build to decommissioning. Incredible to think of all this beneath our feet. IN one photo of a vast underground cavern I am sure I can makes out the shapes of mothballed 9Fs and Black 5s and even The Fell in the gloom. I will post the image......Oh, wait a mo, some urgent knocking on the door... . . 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be very confusing for the canteen though with badges so may I suggest checking with Simon that he doesn't rely on badges for identifying his exhibitors for food, as a courtesy, as all profits are for charity 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good idea which I have suggested before. Um. Er - John, were you wearing a badge? :-) Chris I didn't attend (due to distance & work) but do like the idea of a RMWEB badge, even if its only a standard style which can be downloaded and printed off, which those who want to can then wear for recognition? Point taken re possible confusion with Exhibitor badges, but hopefully they would look sufficiently different? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Copleston Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Perhaps for next year all attendees who are on here might wear a badge. Rather than name badges, I suggest we all turn up to Larkrail next year wearing 'Captain Kernow' look-alike masks and costumes. That should put the cat amongst the proverbial bananas Edited July 21, 2016 by Phil Copleston Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Will Tim have to work up to the event by placing multiple mirrors around the Pasty Emporium to get used to seeing his face everywhere? Details, details chaps!! Is this fixation with bananas turning him into a Minion? Edited July 21, 2016 by PaulRhB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Bus Driver Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 On 14/06/2016 at 12:25, The Stationmaster said: Previously the 'day runabout' thingy ticket has offered better value than buying two singles. The return 'bus stop is right outside the hall - and both are of course but a short step from Mr Castens excellent retail emporium where it is advisable only to tread if you either feel are wealthy or have a slush fund suitably secreted from she who might ask awkward questions. (I'm not saying don't go there but it seems inevitable that you will not leave empty handed as there is an excellent range of diverse subjects on the shelves and thus might face interrogation on return home). Such a common problem. I just refer to My partner as' The Household Authorities' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
