Apart from the weather acting as a disincentive to do much, I'm now looking ahead to
my clubs Summer Exhibition, a new venue in the Bridport Colfox Academy, I still tend
to call it a school - how old fashioned !!

I'm taking my big layout Castell Mawr which in all honest will probably never be fully finished,
although the casual onlooker probably won't notice. It's not been out for 8 Months and I've
been cleaning all tracks, making certain all points work on the DCC addresses allocated, and
then the problem area making sure that the polarity switches operate - several have played up
and needed many vigorous back & forth movements to do what they should !
Of all my quirky dodges the one thing I'd change if making now, would be to use frog juicers,
but there's no way I'd go to that expense and trouble for one exhibition a year.

12 boards now cleaned, in the sunshine, which tempted me to get the camera out, natural light
works wonders.

In this one you have to look for my test locomotive !

Yes a cheap - I think £23 Hornby S&DJR Jinty, still available now at £38.

In all it's glory ! Don't knock it, DCC'd and runs very well and slowly, still crashed it off the end once !!

Loco hidden again ? Oh and apart from a slight mark on a cab corner it survived it's fall.

In the station .......

Still loads of preparation work, even sorting out what freight stock to take will take me ages. Currently standing at 177 wagons !!

Anyway always nice to see photographs ?
