  1. I have been trying to remember the name of the other young lad who was there. Andy Y once called him a big unit?
  2. Tarts are Mr Kipplings. “Pudding” is the proper stuff. I’ve had a few oatcakes from Oatcake Annie’s on Victoria Rd, Fenton at Stoke. A proper local delicacy 😋
  3. Not sure what happened there. I’ll try again. we are not in Staffordshire this time, so as it’s Derbyshire I guess Bakewell Pudding all round 😋
  4. I was there 😁 along with Poor Old Bruce 👍.
  5. Hi Jay I can provide a 009 narrow gauge test piece I have built, first exhibited at the East Midlands 009 groups 2022 exhibition last year. Hopefully by next year there could be further pieces built/under construction if you need a display also. I will add the link to the thread (that has not been updated in ages) next time I am on my laptop. Link added
  6. One of the earliest RMWeb days was held in Mickleover back in 2006(?) I’m local if you need any help and can offer a layout/display if you require it. PM me if it helps. Steve.
  7. Just trying to identify the Britannia. Looks like 70031 Byron. The number is illegible when you enlarge the picture.
  8. The car on the right in picture 4 looks like a Ford Anglia.
  9. Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd
  10. It’ still there. Go onto site. Click on publications. Railway Modeller, cup voting and scroll down. https://peco-uk.com/pages/railway-modeller-competition
  11. Back to Woodhead. Any body read this book. First published in 1986. Written by a reporter in Manchester and then Sheffield. I read it when I managed to obtain a copy in 2002. Via an online book seller at the time. Cannot remember a lot of the content but it looks at both sides of the argument.
  12. Many thanks Aire Head for replacing the missing photos at the start of the thread.
  13. The Views changed very little in the last 47 years https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.0713523,-1.3403489,3a,66y,295.67h,90.39t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqbjpOeZNa1WVftyu8cQCAA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en-GB But you would pay good money to see a peak passing over the top.
  14. Not sure, The one on the left looks like a Vauxhall Nova and the one on the right an Austin Maestro. Both have probably long since rusted away to dust.
  15. This is a shot of 92214 at the GCR gala last Friday. Is that a Speedo connected to the first tender axle? it may be a preservation addition.
  16. An Ex Works "Dorothea" out on a test run after overhaul. Footplate crew keeping a close eye on the loco.
  17. Its part of the Apple Range iPad iPod iPhone iRon 😉 other products are available
  18. No, its the Merchantgate end as you can see the corner of the Red lion pub on the left of the 2015 image
  19. If you look at the plan it shows three tracks into the proposed shed. Here is a screen shot from Google maps from 2015 when the building was still standing and it clearly only has two openings for tram cars. Did the other go around the back?
  20. nah, it will be announced the minute I complete the one I have been building from a Kirk kit the last few (?) years. 😩
  21. Off topic alert. It was the very first annual, and yes Petra. John Noakes joined later and his dog Patch was one of Petra’s puppies. now back on topic
