  1. Whilst at the show I picked up a Minerva Felix Pole 21ton mineral. They have Blaenavon ones available. I had 10 of these in OO gauge many years back so it’s a little nostalgic for me. Blaenavon being local as well. But as I model BR it can’t stay as it is. here’s where I am so far
  2. The footbridge for Aneurin bridge assembled as well this weekend. This is a mock up of how it will look with the Road girder behind. At the Newport o gauge show yesterday Box tunnel was on display
  3. The lines side PWay hut made up this morning for Kirton tunnel. Am Intentio kit, a separate commission build an Intentio Bothy now in base brick
  4. The last details added to the KESR diorama, another pair of road signs for the opposite side of the crossing. The first day on the Kirton Lindsey project, the board framed up and the track laid over a printed plan so we have the correct 60’ panels and the cutting sides carved out of polystyrene.
  5. Another new large tree arrived from France, It was for Haskins Hill but I put the Sycamore up there and the new Horse chestnut in its place above Holloway tunnel
  6. There a little more to do on the adjoining board, I’ve been building up the ballast shoulder along the Torcombe branch
  7. Sleepers and an inspection pit laid on the new station projects
  8. Looks like a resin boiler from the former JLTRT range
  9. Torri laser cut bridge sides arrived today, these will be sandwiched between plastruct truss sections plus rivet detail from slaters sheets and the resin girder sections. this will go behind the footbridge on St Stephens general station.
  10. Plus a Plymouth to Liverpool service, well just the dining car
  11. Caught the Newquay to Newcastle service coasting down the bank
  12. King John recently ex works is in charge of a North and west service made up of ex LMS vehicles including a sleeping Car
  13. Gauging straps now in place plus the track template for st. Stephen’s general
  14. A rough mock up of the road level booking office and the steps that will serve it plus the eventual pedestrian bridge that will run along side the low relief girder bridge. The next project to get underway shortly will be Kirton Lindsey tunnel on the GCR in Lincolnshire. I collected the tunnel mouth from Monks Gate Models
  15. Today I carved the castle wall in foam board and temporarily mounted it. Next to it will go the station hotel and then some Ranelagh bridge style tenements
  16. Laurie sadly passed away a few days ago after a short illness. As some of you may know he had a very bad Road traffic accident a few years back and was still recovering. laurie was always a pleasure to deal with both at JLTRT and later MM1 models. a sad loss for his friends and family and wider 7mm modelling community.
