RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted May 8, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2023 Hi Jay, my wife Lez is currently planning on building her first ever layout which is going to be housed in a vintage trunk which I got from work (still has some original railway luggage labels on it). Size is 87cm x 48cm. Still very much at the planning stage at the moment but she is thinking of doing 009. So depending on progress, she might be up for bringing it along? Cheers, Ade. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 It’s unlikely I’ll be able to offer a layout, but I’m interested in turning up to show my face as a (semi) Midlands based RMwebber, even if by that point I’ll be primarily living and working within the Noble Realm of SWAG. 😀 Glad that efforts are being made to create a Midlands group though! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted May 9, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2023 Back in 2008 I hosted an informal meet at the original Redgate Towers. Wonder if any members who turned up are still active on here? Here's a fledgling Summat Colliery set up on the patio. Glad it didn't rain that day 😄 The Thomas the tank banner was SWMBO's idea honest 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had a few oatcakes from Oatcake Annie’s on Victoria Rd, Fenton at Stoke. A proper local delicacy 😋 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted May 9, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 9, 2023 Funny how the conversation has already moved on to the catering for the day. Depending what's already available at the venue, I could bring the bacon grill that the Mickleover Group bought to feed the customers at our swapmeets. At the narrow gauge meeting in January when I last borrowed it, I cooked enough for 100 cobs. That reminds me, we also have 14 6ftx2ft tables we can bring as well. . 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted May 9, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2023 I see food has taken priority! At SWAG I may have mentioned Derbyshire oat cakes. I think Bakewell tart/pudding may be on the cards also. We have a full catering set up at the studios so I’m happy to take suggestions and put together an appropriate menu for the day.
