A little bit of fun: how to get lynched at exhibitions

[Nova]

idea shamefully stolen from RMWeb, but as I don't have an account with the dark side I thought I'd post my suggestions here. plus it's always nice to have a bit of a laugh every now and again.

1. run a layout set in an alternative history where nationalisation never happened... *whistles innocently*

2. Operate a layout dressed up in my clothes usually reserved for attending heavy metal concerts: Military boots, camo-trousers, [band] t-shirt and patch jacket ...though knowing my luck I'd probably encounter some purist criticising my specific tastes in metal as well as the layout

Well if your free next month for a trip south of the county to Boston, I will cover both of those

My Layout 'Castle Abbeydale' will be attending a charity one day model event (not just railway) and its a never was GC type heritage line. As a one day it will be just LNER running with a few additions and 'never wazzers'

And as Mr King will testify, I am normally in heavy metal t-shirts when attending, so will no doubt be sporting Maiden, Metallica, Within Temptation or what ever is top of the pile!! Also my brother usually sports something and he's still got that aging rocker look!!

Feel free to say hi

Nothing unusual about that - especially if you've not got rid of the BO

Missed a trick by not carrying the large studded backpack accompanied by a massive camera bag/chunky camera with long lens attachment pushing into folks lugholes, accompanied by kidney punches.

if by BO you mean body odor then that'll be solved by strategically placed smoke generators with scented fluids of various flavours

The trouble with those heavy, metal t-shirts is that they don't half rub, and all that weight proves very tiring.....

well someone was bound to go there eventually

A certain prominent P4 group were 'not pleased' by the innocent question of why the sub-ten chain radius curve which was carrying a passenger service wasn't checkrailed.

This might explain why, when my wife and I attended Warley a couple of years ago, we were amongst the crowds to enter she was convinced that we had picked the wrong building as, alongside us were numerous gentlemen (and gentlewomen) wearing leathers, interesting T shirts and many (most?) carrying some of the most brilliant tattoos we'd ever seen. We assumed there was a 'bikie' show on in another hall but perchance they were all headed in the same direction as us and were in fact docile railway modellers like we are!

This weekend sees the Hubberts Bridge charity model show on Sunday, doors at 10am til 4pm

All proceeds go to the Air Ambulance

Plenty of parking this year as over flow is at the golf course opposite

I am attending with my layout 'Castle Abbeydale' in its first outing since rebuilding, and whilst its not as far ahead as I would like, its got plenty of movement and suprises for all LNER and BR(E) fans

Do come say hi if your attending, I cant be missed, located right opposite the doors in main hall, with me the one with short hair!!

Hope to see some of you there

afraid I shan't be attending, My mother, who was my only means of getting down to boston, has been taken badly ill with some virus from Scandinavia, so I shall have to miss out
