RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted April 26, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 26, 2017 It's all gone a bit quiet, but with just two and a bit months to go, rest assured we're all busily working on our layouts and projects in preparation for our little show. Track renewal on Fryers Lane was completed last night and I've started to add a few more scenic details. I had toyed with the idea of adding an extra board to extend the layout, but have decided to focus those efforts on other projects - more details on those some other time... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted June 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'll certainly be relaxed; unlike some of my fellow exhibitors my layout is already finished and ready to go Mark, still finished and ready to go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted June 21, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2017 Mark, still finished and ready to go? Less finished than it was so should be OK to uphold the tradition of a last minute panic to have the layout ready. I wonder how the others are getting on...

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted June 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 22, 2017 All fine for The Mill, mainly as the layout being housed at Shipley MRS club house means there is no temptation to tinker with it. All I have been up to is getting a rake of hoppers, two Black Fives and an 8F (all which now have AJ's fitted to the tenders) ready for a run on BCB. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted June 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 22, 2017 I have a couple of soul-less green boxes to bring too but they have yet to be fitted with AJ's.

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted July 2, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2017 Gulp; less than a week to go, lots to do to get Fryers Lane ready plus there are a few items from the BCB fleet that require attention. As if that wasn't enough, I've a few items of surplus stock I'll be offering for sale on Saturday so that needs sorting out too. Looks like a have a few early mornings and late nights ahead of me.

Andy Y Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Is it right to go into Stafford and then out again on the Newport road for Gnosall. A sat- nav search gives weird , unfamiliar directions. Broadly, yes. If you come off at J13, head towards Stafford on the A449 and in 2 miles turn left here - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.7898973,-2.1202655,3a,75y,346.07h,88.19t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sxJjPLHgGTzspNP_EuK5W3w!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DxJjPLHgGTzspNP_EuK5W3w%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D85.74385%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656and head along West Way until you reach the lights at the T-junction at the other end of the road and turn left for Gnosall you will avoid the town centre.

Edit: I was keeping it simple but Andy's westway shortcut is a good call as it misses out the town centre, as long as you don't mind speed humps.

Andy Y Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It's not just the layouts that are finescale; so's the grub. Fine local fare from our traditional butcher available on the day: Sausage rolls Staffordshire pasties Chicken, bacon and leek pasties. Cheese and onion pasties. QC tested this evening with high satisfaction scores all round. We're simple folk; if that doesn't fit your lunchtime needs, bring your own. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
