moristoat Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 One week to go, looking forward to this one, are we still on for a link up of the 2 x 2mm fs layouts??? Unfortunately I don't think the link up is going to happen now. Speaking to Pixie, I think its because one is DCC and the other isn't? They are however going to be next to each other in the hall in the '2mm section' so they could always surprise us on the day! Hope to see some of you on Saturday!

Pixie Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Bumpty-bumpty-bump! Not long to go now guys and girls until the pinnacle event of 2012 - the opening ceremony has been fine tuned, all participants dope-tested and tickets ready to go on sale. See y'all at the weekend! One week to go, looking forward to this one, are we still on for a link up of the 2 x 2mm fs layouts??? Sadly I've not managed to get Parkend anywhere near where I thought it would be for the show. Something for the future.... Pix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TomE Posted August 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2012 Looking forward to it! Anyone know the best method of getting from the station to the hall? Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerces Fobe2 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Can't make it to the Show guys - however good luck I am sure it will be a good one. Nigel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taigatrommel Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Anyone know the best method of getting from the station to the hall? Tom In all honesty, a taxi... but by bus, take the D to the town centre (getting off outside a Wetherspoons pub & Cult Clothing). Turn right onto the high street, then left opposite WH Smiths, which is Pitville Street. From stop 17 on Pitville Street you can take the bus to the venue, the route B to Charlton Kings. The church next to the hall is easily spotted in the fork of London Road and Cirencester Road. The bus drivers round here are reasonably friendly, if you ask for Holy Apostles on the B they'll probably be willing to give you a shout when they get there.

RMweb Gold TomE Posted August 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thanks Rich! Sounds like a taxi might be they way forward Tom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'd better get my backside in gear and put the gear together. See you in the morning. I do hope folk make the effort to get over to the show as it is a rather good line-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted August 3, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2012 Kim and I along with Highbury are now set up in the caravan just outside Cheltenham. Much to Kim's disgust we are running a mainly diesel service tomorrow. Got a few couplings to fit tonight otherwise we will have a lot of light engine movements! See you all in the morning.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted August 3, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2012 Lots of naughty words but alas I can't now make it due to having to take a vehicle in for work on the brakes - by the time that's sorted I doubt I'l make Charlton Kings by closing time. So see you next year when you're back our way and have a good show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted August 3, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2012 we are running a mainly diesel service tomorrow. ****...especially so as I am in the UK at present and am driving from Cornwall to Stonehenge tomorrow...a detour of Cheltenham en route to Gatwick is something I can't pull off...one day though. Hope all goes well Jerry and please take loads pics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Stonehenge will be there next time you come Pete*, Stormex might not be. * comparatively statistically speaking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted August 3, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2012 Stonehenge will be there next time you come Pete*, Stormex might not be. Am with you on that Andy...but my wife deemed those stones of more 'educational interest' to our two boys than the show...and considering the 'behavioural issues' we've had this week...I know when to hold out the olive branch...

Andy Y Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 and considering the 'behavioural issues' we've had this week Well you should have been on better behaviour then Pete if you wanted to sneak a detour in. Stonehenge is smaller than expected and not as impressive as the pics; a bit of an opposite from 2FS work then. Plus Pixie will probably have a monumental something or other.

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted August 3, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2012 Shame it's this weekend Pete, you could have popped in to see Bath, Ticking Mill and Highbury - we are about half an hour from Stonehenge. As Andy says, for a world heritage sight, Stonehenge is a bit disappointing - mainly down to presentation. Pixie is due to ring me shortly so hoping to find out what cunning plan he has for tommorow!

Pixie Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Crucial final preparations are being made in the nearest pub over beer and cider... well, it's where the idea was born. See you all tomorrow. Pix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calnefoxile Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Didn't get much of a chance to take many photos today, too busy nattering to people and playing trains on Pallet Lane (Thanks Rob). But I did manage to get some phots of... wait for it... Diesels on Hihgbury Colliery I know it's a shock, too which Kim was not happy with :nono: But anyway, here or my photos. He did have a couple of Steam locos on there, and here's a close up of the one I caught: And here's the one I managed to take of Pallet Lane: Regards Neal. P.S. Forgot to add, what a cracking show this was, it was great to catch up with people I haven't seen for a while, and Jerry has managed to rope me into joining the 2mm Association, finally!!!!

37114 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Big thanks to Rich and the crew who organised a cracking event, loved the roast pork rolls and the contents of the ahem "hired glasses" ahem. Good to see many RM webbers including the boss man and the Northamptonshire crew, roll on next year. Also thanks to Neal for helping out and allowing me to get round and look at the fine selection of layouts at the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
