Allegheny1600 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sorry I'm late with my piccy's, spent most of yesterday in A&E with much loved mom-in-law and Saturday was a significant birthday! These are all from the first room, the Freemo modules room! Cheers, John E. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hopefully that worked, I've never posted quite so many pics before. Moving now into the second smaller room, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 And now into the main hall, probably repeating many scenes already done! Once again, many, many thanks indeed to Nick and all the exhibitors for putting on such a great show and thanks also to the caterers for some wonderful scran! Cheers, John E.

Zomboid Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Looks like a great show. Hope to bring myself if nothing else next year. Freemo is a brilliant idea, my next layout will be compatible, that's for sure... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Excellent pictures John. Thanks for posting them. Freemo is a brilliant idea, my next layout will be compatible, that's for sure... Don't forget the Freemo Extravaganza 2 in September... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 When/ Where's that? I've got the SS Redhill exhibition and an NFL game in the calendar already in sept. No danger of me having anything to bring by then, anyhow, but if it fits and I can spectate... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 What is “scran”? It’s not some Trent Valley version of Scrapple is it? Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Scran is local dialect for "Food". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 That’s OK then as “Scrapple" only bears a passing resemblance to Food. http://www.globalgourmet.com/food/sleuth/0998/scrapple.html#axzz3dtlXGI00 Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 My apologies Pete, As Daniel has already stated, it's dialect for "food" (grub, nosh and many others are available!) I think it's a fairly northern expression - I'm originally from Derby and now live a few miles further north, halfway between Liverpool & Manchester, having mates who talk like Fred Dibnah doesn't help!!! Wi aye! John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wi aye! John. Oh dear, picking up the bad habits from " 'oop North"...!! "Top Scran" is a Liverpool saying as I understand it. "Good Food", in English.

long island jack Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Derby, Liverpool, Manchester, there in the Midlands, compared to where I live, then again most people think Cumbria's part of Scotland!!! It's scran up here, or bait Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bostin Fittle" in Black Country (even more obscure than the Scouse saying!!! ) Jordan, Your son is doing well on whatever you call it - he must have grown a foot in height (as opposed to an extra limb) in the past year.... On tires (USA) a lot of brands pre-1910 were actually white, i.e. before they put “carbon-black” in the mix - otherwise I totally agree with your comments. Best, Pete.

F-UnitMad Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Jordan, Your son is doing well on whatever you call it - he must have grown a foot in height (as opposed to an extra limb) in the past year....I know!! A few regular visitors to this Show commented on the day how he's grown!! From the photos John/Allegheny posted, it's good to note a few other youngsters getting involved too. On tires (USA) a lot of brands pre-1910 were actually white, i.e. before they put “carbon-black” in the mix - otherwise I totally agree with your comments. Best, Pete. Yes, it wasn't so much the existence of a pile of tyres (sorry - 'tires') I thought slightly out of place - more the type of tire depicted!! I need to stay in, more...

Rolson do a 225 piece rubber O ring assortment- lots of different sizes - a couple of boxes may cover it - and a quick hunt on ebay may find them, although they are black, and not white Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielB Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Does that mean you are officially back from your USA trip Rob? Nick - myself and Ford will be back if you'll have us. Not sure on which layout we'll be bringing yet, as we are in the planning stages of an O scale layout - but it depends on the realism of the project before we commit to anything!
