RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 3, 2017 Coming from South Devon?... you see, if I were going to Gnosall I wouldn't start there.. Andy Good job it's just Coventry then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 3, 2017 RMweb Premium 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. 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. Will there be carrots and frozen peas for the vegetarian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopardml2341 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Beer festival is Friday, Saturday and Sunday.... Do both Andy I'm supposed camping there both Fri and Sat, but it's further from there to Gnosall than it is from Home to Gnosall. So perhaps I should go to Gnosall first off and then set up camp at CVR Saturday afternoon...... And I have a £1 off voucher for the show......

The Black lion, a beer, steam trains, the sun (?) and canal boats is one of the most perfect places in my world. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I've had a sneak preview of The Contract! This closely guarded secret has bags of interest for anyone visiting on Saturday. I did go "Ooooh". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted July 5, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 5, 2017 For anyone who is EM or P4-curious our show on Saturday would be a good opportunity to have a closer look at what is involved in a move to the either 18.2 or 18.83 gauge. Fryers Lane, for example, will be stocked entirely with ready to run stock and I'll happily talk anyone who will listen through the pros and cons of converting various proprietary items to either EM or P4. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium wagonbasher Posted July 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 5, 2017 Or for anyone that likes model railways, thinks they can find Gnosall (that's pronounced without the g ) and can really think of nothing better to do...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'll also be there demonstrating how easy it is to replace AJ couplings with the more reliable Kadees.... Mark has suggested I start on Friars Lane. (before anyone gets too excited about a Kadee demo this is just in jest. I do however find myself in the unexpected position of being able to attend the show) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 5, 2017 Treneglos ? Not a chance this close and there's no room at the show anyway. Grain store. I suspect room could be found for that but not the 1366 before you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted July 5, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2017 The Wrekin Finescale Group, aka The Old F*rts Muddling Club, intends to put in a 100% attendance. Providing we can get through the iron curtain that separates Shrophire and Staffordshire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Providing we can get through the iron curtain that separates Shrophire and Staffordshire. The border guards are somewhat lax these days after cutbacks and depleted morale; Gnosall's primary defence on the west is now two pensioners with a hairdryer loaned by the Community Speedwatch group on the A518.
