Thanks to all involved in putting the show together - I had a thoroughly enjoyable morning! And great to see some of the wonderful layouts from RMWeb in the flesh - very inspiring!

Blimey, Blackbird, that's a dodgy avatar - just read your comment, now i need the loo!!

Jon T

Very nice, George, I love the texture of the clouds

A very good show, in a much-improved venue.  Some good layouts, Ashover Light Railway and Lochty in particular appealed to me.  Thanks again, Rob, for bringing this to our attention, i hope you enjoyed your visit.

Jon T

Absolutely stunning, again, James - thanks for taking the time to post all the individual stages.  Very inspirational, if i ever get the courage!

Jon T

Ooo, thanks for the headsup on the Thornbury exhibition, Rob, i must have missed it somehow.  I'm only 20mins away so will definitely make the trip on Sunday.

I may see you there!

Jon T

Just my sort of thing for a Monday morning - I make that 46' travelled in just under 24hrs.  Therefore, Little Muddle speed is approximately 0.00037mph. Sounds about right!

That's quite a transformation, Kevin - the changes appear minor but they have significant effect.  Very impressive!

First time we have make the long trek up from the far west for a while but well worth the effort and I can only agree with all the other comments and to thank all those involved in the organisation and running of a great day. A chance to meet some old friends and to put faces to names so familiar on line, for me the lemon drizzle cake was particularly good and I even came home with some of Mudmagnets lovely 3D models. When's the next one?

 

Rob

I'm sure there will be no problem with supplying Lemon drizzle cake again next year - I'll ask Her Ladyship nicely!

Jon T

An excellent event - thanks to Rob and everyone involved.   Sorry i had to disappear early.

Can i pre-order a slice of Courgette & Lime cake for SWAG '24 please?

Jon T

Alarm set, looking forward to it - see everyone tomorrow 

Jon T

Happily i can report that my model runs beautifully, and ever better having had a decent time on the rolling road.  I'm really sorry for those for whom this was not the case, but important to report that some run fine from the box.

Now to summon up courage to fit the dcc chip. Wish me luck!

Jon T

My pristine version of 97652 has arrived as well, but I haven't managed to run it yet.  I've been looking forward to getting one of these since the idea was formulated a couple of years ago, they were my favourites to watch at Fairwater Yard, outside of Taunton back in the good old days! Reading the above leaves me filled with trepidation now that performance isn't going to match appearance.  I'll let you know.....

Jon T

That brake gear is stunning!

No need to hurry though, surely.......?

Jon T

Have a great time Kevin - we'll look forward to your return!

Anyone got any suggestions of where I can go temporarily for my morning dose of LM magic? It always sets me up for the day!

Jon T

Beautiful, just beautiful, Kevin!

Jon T

You're spoiling us, Neal!  Now I really need to get on with some work.....

Thanks again

Jon T

That's just lovely, Kevin!

Jon T

Could a replacement gate for Mr Wolf be in the crate at LM??

Jon T

Thanks Neal, I thoroughly enjoyed that!

Jon T

Wow, I'm in awe, this is seriously impressive stuff. Still, it gives me something to aspire to...!

Jon T

It was lovely chatting to you today, Rob, and great to see Bleat in the flesh.  In fact, full marks to the organisers for an excellent show all round, and to the ladies in the coffee van outside for great coffee and generous portions of cake!  Roll on SWAG 2023!!

Jon T

I love the bricked up windows in this one Kevin, so realistic, but looking back at the shot of Rose Cottage from last night, just one word - Wow!

Jon T

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh, Rob!
