Good news, had mine last week. When you see on the news what is happening elsewhare in the world you think how lucky we are.  I assume Dee had her second jab already.

Hi Don, Yes Dee had her second about 3 weeks ago, and she was fine.

 

We are very luck to have a hobby, I have to many, as you will see next week, and my 37 is an original I picked up second hand, and its superb.

A Sunday morning pic for now, but there will be a Video up later.

 

Looking from under the Mills Lane Bridge and 08, No 08173 shunts a couple of Wagons in Bridge End Sidings.

56047 can be seen resting in the far distance.

So here is Video No 88, just one more in the can to follow this, and then we will be on to something totally different from No 90 onwards.

Such a good long perspective of depth. The 56 looks a long distance away and in 7mm....!

What is the total layout length Andy?

Cheers CS. From the Camera / Bridge to the buffers behind the 56 is only 11ft. but yes it does look like its a quarter of a mile away in real life.
