Silk Mill, Derby 23rd October

[gmtbuilder]

An informal Steam Up is planned at the Silk Mill Industrial Museum in Derby from 10-4 on Sat 23rd October. Full size and miniature engines are invited. There is a paved area where miniatures can drive around (and also on the streets of Derby for the adventurous). The museum is also well worth a visit, including history of Rolls Royce and the Midland Railway. A 5" gauge miniature railway is also expected.

If anyone is interested, please send me a PM and I'll put you in touch with the organiser.

Sounds like a good day out John...I remember going there many years ago and it's not far from the Rycote Centre in Parker St is it !, I used go to meetings there at one time. I'll get back to you on that It could be my last steaming before the Cert expires
