Have now just about recovered from our Northern Irish adventure which went rather well apart from a rather exciting crossing going over - quite a contrast to the mill pond like return. Big thank you to Simon for being mad enough to agree to come along and for Les for helping out on the day and to everyone who made us so welcome and didn't seem to mind the fact that we got ourselves locked out of our accommodation both nights !
With the dust barely settled though I am now all packed up for what might just be my most local show yet - never one to do things by halves that is the Warley show at the NEC. Many late nights of playing with the new couplings and getting the biggest team yet together for what will be a very hectic weekend. As the layout is right next to the real Hunslet 1215 I just had to pull my finger out and finish my third Chivers kit so we will have a miniature version running or at least I hope so as it has had minimal testing so far and there are a couple of bits missing but you probably wouldn't have noticed unless I had mentioned it.
So here is our accommodation in the Ulster Folk Museum
A rather poor one of he layout set up right next to a rather large real loco and Simon doing all the work while I shirk off . This is before the show opened as after this we were inundated the entire day!
And a not at all posed one of us right at the very end and yes, there were bits missing from the Simplex before we got there!
