Hi All

 

I hope Nobby has found some old cassettes for the cassette player so you all can be entertained on your journey. 

 

Have fun.

 

Cassettes? If it's the same old van that they usually use, it'll have an 8-track.................

Even I am not that old to have had an eight track cassette.

 

When I was doing my trade training in the army, one of our sergeants had an eight track thingy in his car which at the time he was rightly proud of. He use to be kind enough to take me home at weekends. His collection of tapes wan't very large, I didn't have the heart to tell him I didn't like the Bee Gees. :music:

Hello

 

    Wrong. George built the 'gay' signal box Simon. Anyway it was all a partnetrship wasn't it. If I remember rightly you are still part of the team though you are on maternity leave at the moment.

Thank-you Ian for the kind words, glad you liked it.

 

                                                                                   Cheers

Hello

      Sadly we were given the wrong award so we are going to swap it over at Glasgow. The good news is that the replacement is bigger. 15 minutes of fame or what.

                                                                                                                    Cheers

Hello

 

  After our successful and pleasant excursion to Biggleswade we are looking forward to our trip to Glasgow next weekend. This is a return visit to Scotland on the slightly spurious grounds that it is five feet longer than on its last visit five years ago. It also has some different rolling stock as well.

 

                                                                                              Cheers

 

                                                                                                                 George

Towcester's last show at DEMU Showcase was very successful if a bit of a sad farewell but all good things come to an end. The layout is now in its lock-up awaiting disposal so if any-one is interested in making a reasonable offer for it please contact me or John. The DCC power equipment is not included in the sale as it is being used on our last two surviving layouts. Some of the rolling stock is available separately subject to negotiation. 

 

                                                                                                     Cheers

 

                                                                                                                              George
