Foundry Lane - it's still there!
Looking back through the previous Foundry Lane entries in this blog I realise it comes to quite an abrupt halt. This is partly because I've been spending my time on other projects (BCB and WLL) but also due to me considering the blog Vs layout thread and RMweb blog or external blog questions.
Anyway, here are a few photos by way of an update on what has been going on with the layout since I last wrote in this blog.
The building which was under construction in the previous blog entry was finished and installed at the left hand end of the layout. This must be the third different building/structure I've tried in this position and it will be the last - I promise.
In terms of exhibition outings last year (2012) was the busiest so far for the layout, with appearances at Sutton Coldfield, ExpoEM North, Loughborough and Burton upon Trent (a (belated) thanks to all who helped to operate or said hello). During the summer the layout was set up in the garden to get a few photos in daylight, an old door and a couple of trestles taking the place of the usual legs:
Here are a few of the photos I took
The layout also gained some new legs, which make it quicker to assemble (and more importantly disassemble) at exhibitions and which take up less space in the car. These are seen here on trial (out in the garden again - see we did have some sunny days in 2012). The trestles seen here have been changed since as I found them a little unstable.
So what next? This year is really the year of BCB, however I'm very pleased to be taking Foundry Lane to Expo EM in Bracknell in May (had been due to attend last year, but had to postpone due to a diary clash).
