On Saturday 25th April, members of the Mamod Steam Toy forum, http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/ are holding their first gathering, at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, Lincoln.... It is to be called, "Steam Toy Lincs". http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/eventDetails.asp?eventcode=46974 Approx 20 members, with some 500 toys available between them, are expected to display engines, locos, traction engines, cars, steam rollers, boats....... Anything steam powered! :clap: A bit like this...... (Who`s the old bloke, bottom left corner)? Many others, like me, will drop in for a few hours to meet other members, steam, chat & generally enjoy a get together with like minded enthusiasts. ............ALL OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS ARE INVITED TO DROP IN......... It`s a very interesting museum in it`s own right. Free admission too! :thumbup: Looking forward to meeting any Madmodders who are interested. :wave: David D. |

Hi Stew! What a crackin` day! :clap: I did not go to be an exhibitor..... I hoped to share the corner of someone`s table, with the triple. A table appeared, then a chair in a corner, for the old man...... I was an exhibitor! :bugeye: The triple ran faultlessly for some 4hrs +. The single spent most of the day plastic piston out, under discussion. I spent all day talking to forum members & very interested members of the public. Mostly about 3 cylinders & plastic pistons....... :thumbup: Around 500 people came through the doors! I asked Sandy about the pie shop, but he hadn`t found it, at that time. He, and several "weekenders" had found a good pub just across the road...... The weekend`s individual write ups, (with STL in the titles), can be found on here..... http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/forum2.php David D |

David Thanks for posting pics and link to Mamod forum:- I'll have a read through that at lesure. It certainly looked a very good show, I'm sorry that I missed it, I had no idea there was such a wide range of models, I noticed a Burnac there, I may have said already that I have a couple of them. Sandy seemes to have a good collection of models as well. Cheers have fun Stew |
