I checked out my O gauge class 08 yesterday that got dropped at the end of the Mansfield Show in March, main damage was a loose control desk in the cab. Next on the list is to HM7000 equip my Pug, so I can have a go at operating Fourgig East using a smartphone at the show 😁

Only six weeks to go now and still plenty to do.

 

The club layout this year will be Radford Mill in its extended form.

 

We hopefully will be putting on another small friendly show with something for everyone. See you there.

Getting closer.

 

Work continues on the new N gauge layout, Shawbridge.

Nothing like a deadline to get things done.

Only just over a week to go now so another taster of what you can see.

 

This is Barden exhibited by Andy Bonsor who also provided the pictures.

Don't fancy making a loco from brass? Why not try cardboard. 

 

John Fownes will show you how at our show this coming weekend. 

By the way, the coaches are also cardboard.

My O gauge Pug is now HM7000 sound equipped and can be seen in action on Fourgig East this weekend. I will also be testing a pre-production Legacy Dongle connected to a Select controller to see how this performs in a live environment too.

 

Question is can I control my locos with a smartphone 🤣

 

Powercab will be on hand if not ......
