  1. Looking good Mark, having seen this from an empty room. Well done and great seeing running trains :-)
  2. Set up Loch Carron lane earlier - must say from my limited experience of exhibitions you (Tony) and your team are so welcoming and fellow exhibitors so friendly - looking forward to a lovely day tomorrow
  3. Looking forward to seeing the layouts and exhibiting Loch Carron Lane. A little bit about the layout Loch Carron Lane is a modern image, micro 4mm DCC layout measuring just 3ft x 1ft. I purchased it in 2017 at Swansea MREX as a completed layout. It was being exhibited but also had a for sale sign on it and I snapped it up as i could see a lot of potential for it. Since its purchase I have transformed it from a steam era layout into a modern day DRS themed TMD. So far Ive added additional lighting, a new fuel point, a new depot with interior detail and extra scenic items around the depot but as you know layouts are never really finished. Typical operation will be the shunting of locos around the Tmd, movement of drs support carriages, with visits by the engineers carriage caroline, some Tesco container wagons and nuclear flasks. Rolling stock for this layout is over 20 DRS owned / liveried locos, some with sound from classes 20, 37, 47, 57, 68 and 90. Also visiting locos on the day from Network Rail and other operators. Control is achieved using PowerCab Pro. The layout is controlled by one person. Pointwork is manual. The layout didn’t have a fiddle yard but I have added this by modifying the shed so that a removable end section allows a fiddle yard to be installed and locos to emerge from the shed and gives variety for viewers to not know what is coming out the shed - the idea of this is based on the DRS Kingmoor depot which has a through shed. Not on the exhibition circuit but did exhibit in Swansea last year which is when I was approached by Tony to exhibit at this show. I dont have a webpage for the layout, but do have a small group on facebook which I put updates on as and when possible. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1388461787953465/ Stu
