Edinburgh Junction Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I've been attending the MMRS since 2007 and not missed a single one. The new venue sounds tasty, and a lot better (parking and space wise) venue. I may go for Warley next year though.... but im not sure. There aren't any modern image layouts, and thats whats putting me off. But the quality is alway top standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Andy C won't mind me mentioning that Western Road plus Oldham King Street, Blackmill, Wheal Elizabeth & Stoney Lane Depot are all at the Rochdale Show - first weekend in February. Go to Rochdale Show 2010 in the Exhibitions section for all the details. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/1362-rochdale-show-2010/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and make it to that. By the way, I'm not a Steam man, but Leander was my favourite kettle, and my Uncle Hughey was the last driver to driver her as a BR engine! A lovely Engine!!!
