I have been a member of the EMGS for donkeys years and never knew about this sort of going’s on. Have I been missing something? How disappointing. I think I should ask for my subs to be refunded. I blame the Vice Chairman, not seen any vice whilst I've been a member. Mike. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's not the distance that's a problem, (about 260 miles round-trip) it's the rain if I take the bike, which is just depressing. If I take the car, the journey time increases and the petrol bills treble! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted February 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's 171 miles each way for me. I'm old, I'm disabled and I'm diabetic as well so I would have to stop at every other services for a tinkle. Fuel is at an all time high and you need to sell a kidney to take the train. Back in the day I would happily travel all over the country for a good show but sadly those days are gone. I blame the Tories but then I blame them for everything, mostly because it's all their fault. Regards Lez. 2 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, January has been a bit of a whirl at work, so things are just beginning to settle down again. However, I'm very pleased to announce that Ladmanlow will be appearing at the Festival of British Railway Modelling exhibition this coming weekend at Doncaster Racecourse. I would love to see any of you who can make it, please come and say hello. We will be on stand 1 in the main entrance (no pressure then!!). Cheers all, Al. I had planned to come to Donny primarily to see yourself and Ladmanlow but I’m now utterly bogged down in work. However a trip to SWAG is looking on the cards and I think we should organise a Peak District beer soon mate. Jay 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Alister_G Posted February 10, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Thanks very much for all your comments and support. Here's the layout set up in exhibition mode in my front room: As you can see, there's not a lot of room! Just dealing with a thousand little details, and packing tools, spares, and rolling stock. I haven't tried fitting it all in the car yet, so that could be interesting... Thanks for looking, Al.

MrWolf Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It really does look great, I don't think I have seen the entire layout before. Just one thing, what happened to the backscene that went about fifteen miles in every direction? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big do you think the car is, you wouldn't even get that in the landie, although in Derbyshire most owners carry a fair bit of it the wheel arches!
