RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted February 14, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2020 Dock Street is certainly a "Diesel" layout.....although the odd kettle may appear.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we usually run a steam hauled railtour as well. According to my deputy CME it's the VSOE tomorrow - I've got A4 60009 to go on the front but there could be a Bulleid as well Edited February 15, 2020 by Crocodile414 spelling correction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hee hee One of my operators has used their SBB E/E 3/3 shunter with sound on the layout before!! We generally try and be sensible but we can't help it when it's "happy hour!" Oh.....and no moaning when Thomas comes out to play - it's done for the kids and to get them engaged with whats happening rather than just staring blankly! See you all in the morning!

RMweb Gold Neil P Posted February 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2020 I was thinking of heading up to Monmouth today. Is the weather causing any problems with the local roads? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted February 16, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think all the exhibitors made it. Main roads seem okay. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
