Well, we managed our forth club open day on Sunday, and yet again were able to muster up a decent range of layouts, some nice cakes and plenty of conversation. A quick guide to what was on show is below...

Ehrwald (N Gauge) - Mr Chairman's very attractive alpine layout based on a real location.

Warehouse District (H0) - still under construction, but subject to some progress below. There were all sorts of sound-fitted orange and black locomotives shuttling to and fro on here.

The Wipers, Fish-Hook and Menin Railway (Sn2). This layout is essentially complete...just awaiting the addition of those all important little details.

Whitchurch Canoncorum (N Gauge). A section of a larger club member's layout - under construction

Yamanouchi Oshika (N Gauge) - looking rather bereft of trains in this view. The layout was having a bad day, with a fair amount of tinkering required for its visit to Wyrail next Saturday. A new point installed on the day managed to fail - broken spring - resulting in much oathing and cursing!

Kanjiyama (N Gauge) - yours truely's offering. Behaved well after some initial issues with connections to the outer track from the control panel.

Hawkhurst (00 gauge) - this is a really nice layout, and a reasonablly faithful representation of this small rural terminus.

An action shot of a visiting Kernow class 205...

South River Terminal (H0) - John's present day US shunting plank is well on the way to being complete.

Finally, skulking in the committee room - our normal club room - was Fredrichstrasse, with some explanatory details...

All in all, a successful day and a big thank you to all those who attended.

Next week; Yamanouchi Oshika at Wyrail!
