My photos of some of the excellent layouts on show. My congratulations to the layout booker! Click on the pawnbroker for the album... Uncaptioned at the moment but hopefully I'll be able to do something tomorrow morning....I visited on Saturday morning when it was very busy indeed and I was not able to get photographs of every layout...

It's excellent.... Chris

and very good it is too...thanks Callum

Is the hot plate "plug and play"?

I expect if they did we'd have seen it...

Bit of a convoy at Keynsham today 0V69 (what a tease) 66562/559/510/544/564 Eastleigh to Stoke Gifford

From a conversation I had with him when taking my leave and thanking him ....there may be another....

But it may have in the eyes of the operator.......its a personal thing... Chris

Cracking day out - my album is here - click on the nameplate! Chris H

and the weather is even behaving by the look of it...looking forward to the drive down to help bandmbill with whatever tea-tray sized layout he turns up with..... ChrisH

I don't think they are "ladies"......

Have you met my wife?

I think a train set becomes someone's model railway as soon as the bits are out of the box and set up..... Chris H

I agree Rob - they certainly "capture" the loco very well.. Chris

You will - its a great show (in a great city) - we always book a few nights in York over the Easter weekend and I often visit on two days ChrisH

No doubt I'll catch up with Phil at York in April...I'm not in a rush.... Chris

Nice work Stu Do you have a track plan or an overhead photo - its pretty clear from the photos you have put up but one overall picture would be great. I assume the runround you refer to ealrier is via the fiddle yard? May be I do have room for a layout for the blue NPCS stock I have stashed away... Thanks Chris

I slightly off set the board end track protectors by about 3mm - using the same ply I inset into the cork - John. I don't have a photo but I'll sort one when I next have one of the layouts out. The layout still fits in the RUB with them in place. Chris

Used them on a few layouts now - so far so good and a lot less faff than copper clad sleepers or brass screws. https://www.modeltech.uk/

Extra wood for mounting the point motors

Board joint to shunting lead/fiddle stick..

Track pre-wired with droppers and glued down.

I'm now disposing of most of the remaining stock

In the absence of the Classified section I hope this is OK - I'm just flagging up some surplus stock from Gare de Brindille which is for sale.
