Some time has passed since I added an entry to this blog so here goes...

This morning I went along to the S Scale meeting and AGM at Oxford, managed to pick up some bits & pieces for my various items of S Scale wagonry. Wheels and brake levers+guards for the 16ton mineral wagons and some spoked wheels for the ex LSWR resin van-looking forward to building the van now!!

On the way back down South to Wiltshire I called in to the Newbury MRC exhibition for a quick look around (is this show secret as I found no mention of it on the web?). Serveral good layouts (IMHO) and picked up a cast whitemetal kit from a second hand stand, it looks like a long GWR twin bolster wagon, perhaps about the same length as a Tube C? Haven't looked it up in the reference books yet, was this kit made by K's?

Aside from buying yet more kits to build I've taken my 009 layout Lower Peak Wharf to its last show and delivered it on to its new owner. Taken the EM gauge The Works Yard to the show at Calne, the layout ran well and I ended up buying three RTR wagons for regauging and detailing. I didn't mean to but couldn't resist the "Presflow" wagon.

And finally for now I've got around to starting the High Level chassie kit for an 03, up until now I've only built their gearboxes and they work OK.

I can honestly say the steps are Origami in nickle silver but they go together wonderfully, what a superb piece of design, absolutely top marks to High Level.
