Enjoyed Guildex on the Sunday, (Spent loadsamoney). It was great to meet some of you too. (Sorry to miss John on the Guild stand G9, maybe next year)

 

I am really excited waiting for the preordered Agenoria kit of the 0-4-0 'Agenoria'. This will a display model left in the polished nickle. A nice custom made display case has been order for it.

 

I would like to take this oportunity to thank all who made for yet another great weekend for 7mm modellers and I look forward to next years bash.

Dainton Bank is a marvellous layout, I got a chance to help out with a couple of locos over the weekend which ran very well indeed, nice to see them in action.

You can even hear a nice Deltic in action!

Nice video! It is entertaining to watch the excited faces of the grey-haired spectators who have suddenly become small boys again, eagerly awaiting the next passing train. This layout really touches a nerve in all who see it operating. It is possibly what we are all trying to encapsulate in our hobby.

Great videos but I feel I must say that "nice Deltic" is an oxymoron!

Dainton bank is my no1 layout on the exhibition circuit. it is superb and a worthy successor to Holiday haunts another personal favorite.

Thanks for posting

I went and bought a Peter Clark class 205 Thumper kit.

 

I quite fancy one of these myself. Will it be appearing on your workbench soon Brian?

I expect its already built, painted and running in the back garden if he is up to his usual speed of kit building.

[brian daniels]

Behave you two.

 

It will be on my workbench in due time but I want to finish the couple of wagons I am building first. I am also gathering extra bits for the 205 slowly, JLTRT MU jumpers, DJH southern highlevel brake pipes, CPL communication cord tell tales and I might get Pete Harvey to do a few etches for it when I have worked out what needs doing. I am not too keen on the WayO bogies so I am considering getting the JLTRT etched ones I use on their MkI's.

`Really looking forward to it.....although Ian and I will be busy exhibiting ("Rhydwyn Fawr" - L14) we hope to find time to enjoy some spectating, socialising and shopping too!

 

Wishing success and enjoyment to all whom are attending Guildex.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed Rhydwyn Fawr, finding it the most entertaining exhibit at the show. Had quite a chat with Ian (I presume it was Ian). I do like the idea of having a handout for spectators, giving background information on construction.
