Almost a month since I last posted but that is because recent modelling sessions have been aimed at getting the J10 & the banana vans ready for the clubs annual competition in early October. They will be on display at our exhibition; - see www.mmrs.org.uk for full details.

I shall be based on the demonstration stand so if you are coming to the show (and if not, why not?) please come and have a chat. I’ll probably be making a start on my scratch built LNER Q4 class 0-8-0 tender loco on the stand.

Both subjects are now packed ready for taking to Manchester on Monday when a couple of good friends who live much more locally to the clubrooms than do I, will organise getting them to the judges and mounting for display on Friday. The show opens Sat & Sun when I will be there but I no longer take part in setting up the show so won’t be there on Friday.

I hope to meet some of you there.

Dave
