Couplng height gauge is simple. A small rectangular plasticard fabrication of 4 layers of 40thou. plus 1 of 20 thou. glued, layered together. It does help if the top layer overhangs a little.

Looking forward to visiting the show

I've been to the show several times and sometimes found the parking problem. I always enjoyed this show previously and hope to go this year. Nowadays I have a Blue Badge, is there any parking for those of us who cannot get about as well as most?
-
Well that was a good one. Thanks very much to Steve and all who helped to make this an enjoyable show for exhibitors as well as the visitors.

Burnham-on-Sea all packed up and I'm looking forward to the show. Will load the car at sparrow's f**t tomorrow as I don't like to leave a layout in a car overnight. See you tomorrow.
-
Please note the layout "Burnham-on -Sea" is 2FS, 1920/30s. I must make the distinction as there is also an N gauge one 1950s on the show circuit. I would hate it if you went to see the "N" version and were disappointed.

Beautiful running, good job done. I like your idea of a keeper plate, very simple. I think I'll copy this soon.

A very mixed show with several scales and prototypes shown. Unfortunately Hook Basin had to cancel on Friday morning. Still a good show. Excellent refreshments, easy parking what more could you want? Unless you were expecting any OO stuff, there wasn't any! I enjoyed being a part of this show exhibiting Burnham. -
Yet again this show co-incised with one I'm exhibiting at! (Mendip 2019). I would really like to take in one of these excellent shows, most frustrating.
-
Another layout "Burnham-on-Sea"2FS will attend. What a lot of scales/gauges!

I've just returned from holiday so I'm sorry Tim V. for my late reply. I thought I'd put the dates in the form as required, obviously not! Thanks for picking that up.
