Oh, we like to travel !

Good to get the layout into other areas of the country as mostly seen in the South West !

 

Don't think that I'll get to Shepton this weekend though, plenty of other things to do on Oakley Green etc.

Next outing for Orchard Road will be Cheltenham Sat 11th and Sun 12th April.

Will be giving my latest 37428 a run!

Just a reminder, only one day to go.

Will be loading the car tomorrow and will be bringing a couple of new wagons ( yet to be weathered )!

Also, a couple of small details to add (if I remember to pick them up!)

Hi Richard

              I'm looking forward to the weekend helping you with Orchard Road, Is it ok if I bring my W class with me.

That'll be great Ray!

Nice to have something different to run!

 

Mostly loaded in the car today, just need to load the stock in the morning before our journey to Cheltenham.

 

Come along and say hello.

 

I'll take some photos over the weekend as well!

We had a strange visitor today. Ray told me that it was "W class", and needed something called "

coal" to work and that the diesel fuel normally offered at Orchard Road was no use!

 

Seriously though, ran very well indeed!

All back and layout safely in the garage!

Thanks to Ray for his help and company over the weekend.

Also thanks to Mike and team for a great weekend. Hopefully raising good funds for CLIC!

 

Had a couple of minor issues, with what appears to be fried decoder in the class 47 and erratic running at times from one of my gronks.

 

Not out again with Orchard Road until the High Wycombe show in November.

Have you gone for the Belly Tank Speaker in that one Richard, I have it in my Blue one and its AWESOME, but I'm not so happy with the horns on my 47, they seem a bit weak to me, and the same with another Club Members Leggo 47,  I prefer the SWD for the 47 and 37's.

 

Have a good show at the weekend mate.

No, just the standard speaker at the moment. Might add one at a later date though.
