Progress 2010 - 2012

it's been a very long time since I've updated and I'll try to remember to take a camera to the meeting at the end of the month.

It's getting longer...

Just a quick update after today mid-week meeting..   Had a pretty eventful day and managed to get the first board of the extension attached to the end of the static part of the layout. Today was the first chance we've had what with the terrible weather we're having.     JB.

WMHQ February meeting.

Been a while since anything has been mentioned about West Mersea, so I thought I would pop a couple of videos up from the last meeting.   Hopefully I'll get a chance to do some better videos with some better lighting one day, rather than just a couple of minutes before I leave for home. I need to persuade a few of the other members to bring their stock along more regularly too so that we can show more than just a vain old K2 trundling up and down   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl17pAMPi

I'd missed your earlier post until now - thanks to the link to your site, I'll keep an eye on it.   Dave R wrote: Not sure if we could get away with one partly buried in the embankment allotments as the kit is only 1:48 scale; and the 830kg Amolite warhea
