Well its only a couple of days to go until Fisherton Sarum makes an appearance at Warley (stand B32) If you are attending the show please come and say hello.

I have been busy touching a few things up, fixing a broken yard lamp and generally cleaning and making everything presentable. I am looking forward to this evening as GWMark of this parish is going to try out the new turntable speed controller, this will enable an increased initial inertia to get the table bridge moving before reducing to a lower turning speed and can be set to suit each direction of the table bridge, this will hopefully replace the current temporary of H&M controller. Thanks in advance Mark!

 

Also many thanks to the High Wycombe and District Model Railway Society for allowing me to keep the layout set up at their Society rooms for the last few weeks. Some will have seen the picture below appearing in the Warley preview article in this months Hornby Magazine So thanks to the magazine and that nice Mr Nevard for allowing me to share this with you.

Sorry to report the turntable controller was not a success. Although it worked for me using my test motor, the current drawn by the one n the layout was higher and it failed. I shall have to find a higher current device and have another go - sadly it will be too late for Warley however. :(
