The layout has been stored away for the past couple of months since we moved house. However with exhibition appearances looming I thought I'd better dig it out and make sure it all still worked.

Bea looked unimpressed as Foundry Lane arrived at its new home:

It seems I've been away from the layout so long that time has marched on - a 37 takes the place of the more usual 24 or 25 and the Capri on the lane is now a Mk 3 B)

The layout doesn't appear to have suffered too much from it's time in the garage, although getting it level in its new location was a bit of a challenge (uneven cottage floor boards!). A few scenic improvements are on the cards, but nothing major as renovating the house has (I'm told) to take priority.

Next outing for the layout is the Derby members day on 10th July. After that it's Redditch in September (18th & 19th), followed by Worcester next March.

Cheers
