RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted September 3, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 3, 2016 A good first days show and apart from a leaky roof from the 160+ year old station onto our Thomas layout! James the red engines paintwork remained spotless to his relief and traffic was diverted around the station until the rain eased. That's no good.

Axlebox Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 ...can't believe its a years since their last show! The chance to have a good look round the P2 and the NELPG J27 (in bits) make it a really good day out, but beware of the 2mm men on the footbridge, they may be small (in number), but they will tempt you with a £7 2mm finescale starter kit (a 16tmineral with a length of track)...i managed to control the temptation...and you have been warned.

Edwardian Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Head of Steam is a great museum, and I gather they were pleased at their increased gate, so hope this mutually beneficial arrangement continues. I had a lovely time. For me, there were some highlights: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Dread Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 On behalf of myself and my team (Ray and ChrisH) many thanks to all at the Darlington club. We had a wonderful weekend and "Meopham East Junction" and the operators worked within reasonable constraints. Considering the the layout has not been out for just over two years, I was very happy with it's running. The museum staff should also be thanked and the chaps across at the "Prince of Wales" project. Here's to the next time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
