So I have built one...just seven more to go!

Hopefully these will be installed onto the layout for our outings booked for next year.

The signal comes in kit form and so we are hoping to be able to offer these for sale. I will post details on our website when we have sorted out how we are going to do it.

Mrs Brightspark has also been busy. She makes handbags for a hobby and has created this.

Although we can’t sell at the show, I will bring along this example for you to have a look at.

See you at Chatham and say hello!
