RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted November 4, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2011 Is there a Mc Donalds anywhere near, I need a sausage and egg Mc Muffin before we start running! Nearest one is probably the one on Stafford Road; past Fordhouses and on the way into town (just before you get to the bridge where the Oxley chord crosses Stafford Rd).. looking forward to meeting Mark again and anyone else who wants to shake my hand and say hello. Likewise, Frank, be good to see you again too. Foundry Lane is all set up ready for the weekend; just a few last minute preparations when I get there in the morning.

Dukedog Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Just started to recover from the Wolverhampton exhibition. A truly great weekend enjoyed by Son in law and myself. Thanks very much to the members of the Wolverhampton club for inviting us and putting on a good show. I'll write more in my blog later but would just like to add my thanks for the RMWebbers who came along and said hello. That's Pannier Tank, GWJ, and a few others who I can't remember! Sorry folks I have a head like a tea strainer! Oh, and BTW, I got my breakfast from Mc Donnalds OK this morning! Cheers Frank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Frank Cheers Frank - thoroughly enjoyed seeing Pen Y Bont 'live' for the first time and good to talk to you, however briefly. Unfortunately I was on a tight rein as I had to get back to family duties, hence my sudden departure. I love the attention to detail on Pen Y Bont, such as the man hole covers and drains on the road, the grass on the farm track, and the weighing scales by the coal yard - the whole layout just oozes atmosphere - the only thing you can't model is the Welsh rain! I also had a good look at Foundry Lane just to watch the Hymek shunting, which was also excellent. In fact, the whole exhibition was excellent and well worth the visit - plenty of time to stand and watch, and ask questions, which you don't really get a chance to do at the bigger shows.
