Hello

 

   I forgot to mention that there will be a new train running on Fenchurch St Peter at All Pally next weekend. A number of people have asked me, on here as well as at exhibitions if we run the sand train on the layout. The train they are referring to is the train from Middleton Towers to Doncaster train conveying sand for use in the manufacture of glass. Our version will not be an exact copy of the train in the 1960s but will consist of a mix of wagon types used at that time in different sand traffic flows in East Anglia using Brush type 2 haulage. I have no idea if the train ever ran on the Wisbech branch but in our world it does sometimes. I'm sure that a lot of you know that this traffic still runs most days using DBS and GBRF haulage and considerably larger wagons than we have. I hope you enjoy it.

 

                                                                                                                Cheers

Hello 

 

    Fenchurch St Peter will be appearing at the Stowmarket exhibition next Sunday April 28th. Sadly I shall not be there due to my recent bout of illness and decrepitude though I will be there in spirit. The layout will be in the capable hands of John Norton and Richard Coleman and possibly A N Other.

 

                                                                                                           Cheers

George,

 

Sorry to hear you are not well, I wish you a speedy recovery in due course. Fenchurch St Peter has always been one of my favourite layouts on the forum and I would love to see it in the flesh. Sadly I haven't managed it yet but hopefully might do one day if you venture north. I hope the show goes well, especially in your absence, and get well soon. Please keep sharing any news about the layout as it is very inspirational.

Hello

 

   Fenchurch St Peter will be at  Preston and York next year which are pretty far north in my book. Hope to see you at one or the other of these excellent shows.

 

                                                                                     Cheers

Hello

 

     Fenchurch is now loaded in the van ready for an early start tomorrow. I will think of the lads as I roll over and sleep on. Hope the day goes well for every-one.

Hello

 

   Sorry I missed this last post. I went there when I was building the layout. Absolutely amazed that the platform and structures on it had still survived. The station house was lived in by the wonderful Neville John Watson who was very helpful to me. I hope he is still OK as he was 86 at the time. Just to say to any-ne who is interested that Fenchurch St Peter will be appearing at the forthcoming Wigan Exhibition on October 5th and 6th. Any-one on here who is attending please say hello.
