Large Scale Central

Winter running

Looks like a fantastic steamup Neil, big congrats!! How many attended? And can you share some reactions to your amazing layout?

Cliff,
Looked like a good turn out with beer and conversation. However I wanna know how the hell do they hide those pull strings so well. I slowed the video way down and I still can’t see them!
I also didn’t get a call from him either so I suppose he didn’t drink to much and make an ass outta himself.

The convention had 58 paid delegates, close to 70 all up with partners Cliff. I had half a dozen or so reprobates linger after the main lunch event, purely for a bit of steaming. As one happy gent (below, and the double Fairlie owner) said - ‘Welcome to the alternative convention’.

It was a great weekend Cliff, several hundred photos to sort. I’ll try and do a write up later in the week.

Cheers
N

I think I’m ok on the first bit - the second, well no one’s said anything to my face. Yet. :no_mouth:

Somewhat ironically, the brown bottle in the video (contents unknown) belonged to a gentlemen from Nashville who popped over. Just sayin’… :grin:

Cheers

Neil;

Before I stopped collecting live steamers, I was coveting a double Fairlie similar to the model in your photo. It would have named Boromire. I also hoped to get another Roundhouse Beyer-Garrett and name that model Eomer. For now I am content with Aragorn.
