An Annual Dinner was held on 15 December 2004, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of railway locomotion. The setting was an "Orient Express" dining car with an "inside out" seating plan. A 16mm train service was provided by Tim Roy and Steve Pickthall down the centre connecting table. Savouries and other small starter items were delivered at the beginning of the meal. A passenger train was operated during the main course, both single and double-headed. To round things off, a second goods train delivered chocolates and other sweets at the end of the meal. An unusual but highly enjoyable event at which to operate our 16mm trains!
