Hello David. Sorry i cant make the Uckfield show to see Fen End Pit. It looks like a great show and very good trade support. Hope you have a great time will be thinking of you all and the layout but i am demonstrating at the Lowestoft show all weekend. Wishing you and Fen End Pit all the best Alan.

Very well done David i get it!

Amazing modelling as ever David

Good Morning David. Sorry I was not able to get over to Leighton Buzzard last weekend I would have loved to see Fen End Pit again and Campbells Quarry both together. Sorry to hear also about the trials and tribulations that you had there. It does seem that there is a large variation in the quality of model shows and the way they are staged. On the positive note do you have anymore shows booked up for Fen End Pit? Also I have stared to dip my toe into 16mm and as well as demonstrating at Bressingham Garden model railway show I have a list of kits etc to buy off the trade stands. I also now have a layout planned and under construction but no firm date has been set for its finish. Once again thank you for inspiring me and the help your blog gives. Alan.

Hello David. It was great to see you all at Ely and finally get to see Fen End PIt at last. the layout was worth the wait to see and i hope i didnt make a nuisance of myself by hanging around your stand for so long. It was as inspiring at Ely as it was the first time i saw it in the magazine and in my opion the public was right to vote it best in show.Well Done. Thank you all for spending so much time talking with me about 16mm i now must get something built on the back of your inspiration. I too would like to thank the Ely Model Railway club for a fantastic day and to all the great people i meet there. Keep those Simplex pictures and text coming please and I wish you well with your health issues. Kind Regards Alan.

Good Evening David. The layout and locos are looking fantastic and I can't wait to see them at Ely. There is so much for me to take in on your blogs, so much detail thank you as it is so helpful and interesting. Hope you able to cope with your health issue and i wish you all the best. I am always excited when i see that you have a new blog. Best wishes Alan.
