Evening everyone,

as advertised here: http://www.svr.co.uk/SEItem.aspx?a=68

I will be at Arley Station on Saturday and Sunday for the Autumn Steam Gala with my Victoria Bridge layout on show, back either by popular demand or because I pestered the station staff to let me get involved again.

I will have an assistant this year from among the RMWeb ranks who might make the operations on the layout look more competent, though he may be shocked when presented with a H&M Clipper control box....!

Do drop by and say hello to Tom or myself.

Also on show will be the latest progress on my model of Arley station, still largely a bag of bits but the bits are looking more like the real thing. Now that I have a Hawksworth from Farish running on the 'Bridge' my old scratchbuilt one can be converted to a 12 wheel sleeper for Arley's siding. It is probably a bit short but the scene will be foreshortened a touch anyway! I also now have a 3D printed weighbridge so the station will be supplied with 1:148 scale cake.

In other news (on show this weekend)

My continued adventures in Z3 (1:220 scale on 3mm T gauge track)
