Hi.

Further to my posting of 17th july. This was about the attempt at a 009 layout ( tunnel through the chimney breast) and the indoor garden layout. I said I didn't have any images of these efforts apart from the one of the the garden line loco which I attached. Guess what? I have found some. Explanation. I have been down to Ellesmere again to a family get together for my Great Granddaughter's Christening. I was asked to look through my family photos for any revelant photos and found the attached images in among the family ones. The only one I will comment on is the oddball one like a starburst. This is an image taken through the "tunnel" of an approaching train. There is also another example of nameplate etching on the odd ball Fairlie.loco.

 

I may as well mention that the Liquorice Line, after several exhibitions was rehashed into the Smokey Mountain and Soggy Bottom layout. I was a two level layout without any connection between the two levels. The mountain did smoke, it was fitted with a smoke making unit. In the end I thought the layout was beyond the pale and it was sold on to a friend for this Grandchildren. I wonder if any of you ever saw this at the one or two shows it went to?
I will stick my neck out again and say I don't seem to have an photos except for the very poor image of the attached Fairlie loco so will call that it for now.

 

Regards Derek.
