The Mill is all packed down & ready to load in the car in the morning.

Also packed stock, tools, controllers & a whole buch of bits & bobs to have a go at getting on with while not operating.

Setting off from Leeds about 7:00 so would have have plenty of time to set up & have a couple of tea's before opening.

 

Looking forward to a great weekend.

I hope you enjoyed the rest of your birthday Paul.

 

A great show and nice to meet so many RMweb members, a good job that you were able to help the Mill with some extra stock during my time there.

An absolutely superb day out and well done to Paul and the team for a cracking little show. Great fun and some excellent quality exhibits, a decent cup of tea and tasty cakes. If anyone can make it tomorrow please do support the event.

 

Johnny Gringo tries to work out how he can sneak more books back into the house.

'The Mill' is a credit to Chris and Jason, it runs beautifully and there's loads of craftsmanship in a small area.

Although one of its owners was feeling a bit sheepish today.

I hope these words taste as nice as Paul's birthday cake, because your going to have to eat at least some of them! ;)

 

Tomorrow should be easier, as long as you don't spend all night on Greyscroft!

 

Cheers

How's the heads chaps after the birthday celebrations?

 

Did you all get to the show on time?

 

Did everyone remember everything?

 

 

We did take a little time for an amble before getting to the show.

We did wait to see another train but due to my inability to read the timetable properly it was wasted time as the dining train wasn't running yesterday.

 

John wonders if breaks the railway historians' code of conduct to water the shrubbery in the vicinity of George Stephenson.

His call of nature led to an 1836 hole to look into.

We missed seeing the last train out of Goathland (as we were in the pub) but stopped off at Pickering to moan that the signals didn't look right but agreed that the Q6 sounded wonderful.

What a weekend. After setting off late and then ending up in Catterick and 40 miles from Newcastle, we finally got to Goathland half an hour late, set up and realised that the locos were in Chris's modelling room back in Leeds. Cue Chris having a ridiculously long drive and me operating the layout with Paul's locos with DG couplings which thankfully also work with electromagnets.

 

The layout had very few glitches and ran surprisingly well; a bit of track adjustment was all that was needed on one turnout. We even managed to get a few outstanding jobs done this morning.

 

The layout seemed to go down very well and only one tit asked if the buildings were kits.

 

Great weekend, great show, great host, great night in the pub. Just great really :)

A most enjoyable weekend indeed, glad to be able to join in the birthday celebrations, and the general good humour of the show!

 

I might be a bit cross eyed now from shunting (or wine) but that'll pass and I'll continue my hunt for a Duracell tanker!

 

Cheers

Evening...

 

Had a really great weekend at the Goathland show. Despite the Catterick diversion & the four hour jaunt back home to Leeds to get the Locos & few wagons we left at mine on the Saturday morning The Mill performed really well with only the odd tweak needed. The AJs worked well given its the first time the layout has been used for a decent running session, a couple of wagons AJs want adjusting but nothing major. Lots of really positive & flattering comments from the public & fellow modellers about the layout & a few laughs at my expense.

Has been good meeting some new faces & getting chance to catch up with people also a couple of bargains had off the club stand.

 

Huge thanks to Paul & the rest of the gang from the club for the invite & hosting an excellent show with fantastic atmosphere. Looking forward to next years.....

 

Had a great night at the pub helping Paul celebrate his birthday where I managed to make quite a lot of Guinness disappear......... Thanks again for putting us up at yours......
