      I've got some bits of track and wires and some buildings on some bits of wood, and a debut next Sunday. It might be considered a layout.

      You don't have to have one. Eon are like a dog with a bone, they keep writing, I keep telling them I don't want one!

      I know I don't need/want one, it was the letter and situation that annoyed me. I used the 'Make a complaint' option to make my feelings known.

      Sounds interesting.

       

      I wonder if build write-ups (or other comments) about any of their kits might be about to find their way onto this site.

    2. mudmagnet

      mudmagnet

      Well worth joining. Good kits to assemble and instructions easy to follow.

       

    3. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      I've wondered about it in the past - but not having a layout means that I don't have call for any of their kits.

       

      It also doesn't help that I'm not aware of any local meetings - certainly none that I'd be able to get to and from by public transport - and I haven't been able to glean anything at shows. It's a shame - but life has to go on.

  9. Thanks for all the replies to the various SWAG Party pms I've sent out - folks, planning is going well for April

      A visit to the old engine shed at the Snailbeach Railway is pretty evocative, even in the rain

      Cakes should be neither small nor far away.

      I was in Bodmin this summer, so a bit early, I suppose! But I did have a nice ride on the big trainset...

      CK needs to refuse to confirm or deny that he made a guest appearance.

      6435 is here and looks operational as she's at the front of the shed.

      The Adobe monopoly rolls ever onwards. There are other drawing programs, and two of the best are British...

      Never had flares, never been fashion concious. I am at the Penryn campus, and about 35 years older that most of the students. I'm hoping to pick it up quite quick - it's a 7 week course with an exam in the last week. And no, I had no idea I could use it for modelling purposes or it could save in a file format suitable for a Portrait cutter...

      All good, go back in 9 months. The aquarium is on the TV, and the only mags are Cornwall Life or The People's Friend.

       

      Dentist is a young lady, so not like LO at all.
