Going off line for a while - After a good send off

517 views

Well Tuesday evening was a sad one ...... were it not for the warmth of MKMRS members.

We had a special evening as one Andy York was coming to our club, some future article ?

 

During all of this it was announced that it would be my last visit as moving home is almost

upon us and I expect to be transferring a couple of layouts to Dorset next Tuesday. I was

almost embarrased by the number of members who said they'd miss me.

What can I say ..... This club has been welcoming and I've enjoyed some 5 years plus as a

member. I wanted to be low profile after too many years at the sharp end of aviation scale

modelling and though I could be lost in the crowd !!

 

Probably the best thing I did when beginning railway modelling was to join a good club. I had

been used to exhibiting aircraft models here in the U.K as well as trips to Berlin, Brussels, and

France. It didn't take long for an invitation to run my intended home layout at the Train Collectors

exhibition in 2009 .............. the first of several outings.

 

I shall now be signing off for several weeks while we get moved and Sky connected up. Still the bad

penny will always be around. I thank all who have viewed my postings, with double points to those

that kindly gave a 'like' comment !!

 

So be in touch later when all done & dusted !!

Also my thanks to Andy & the team.

Wot Jon020 said.

 

Having moved in May I sympathise with you - although this was only 25 miles it was bad enough.

 

On the plus side, I do have a model railway room in the guise of the spare bedroom which gives me 14ft x 3ft (ish) for a layout and keeps the room useable as a bedroom for guests.

Thank you all for the replies,

 

Since a week ago Tuesday I've been packing boxes, and more boxes, then trying to find more boxes.

Well, as of today only the computer room to strip out and that will stay live until Sunday.

My run to Dorset yesterday went well and as far as I could see my 2 layouts, & 3 dioramas got there

undamaged.

 

One nice thing about living around south Dorset is the proximity of Buffers, they will be my local shop

and they don't come much better for scenic products on the shelf.

 

I'd agree with pitbull1845 (scott) it's a nice place to live ..... or I suppose we wouldn't be going there.

Sky have also suggested they will have me back on line within a few days - fingers crossed.
