A pleasure Graham, it's an honour to be considered amongst such esteemed company. Andrea is not so keen though as the detailing has ramped up on Summat meaning it sits in the living room most evenings when she's trying to watch Masterchef laugh.gif

Like most things you do Chris, I try to emulate it laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

 

 

Your fiddle yard reminds me of the first real outing of Summat's giant sector plate board 3, I hadn't considered the open nature of it at the Mansfield show in March but thankfully disco-dave did and pinned some bubblewrap underneath. A few hours later a full rake of wagons and loco fell off onto said bubblewrap rather than the floor.

 

 

I now have screwed some thin ply to the underside wink.gif

 

 

signal's working by the way, now for the rest .......

Will the lighting be done?

Will Dynamis work?

 

Will I leave a critical item behind?

Same goes for Summat Colliery, my usual partner in crime disco-dave can't make the trip down south so I'm on me 'tod. Unless I keep my legs crossed I am going to have to leave the layout at some time, so any assistance would be most appreaciated biggrin.gif

Hi David

 

This is indeed much appreciated and like you I hope, and will try to ensure that it will be a continuing arrangement in the future.

We have a hall manager and stewards allocated in each hall, who will be happy to assist with the flow of teas and coffees for exhibitors and cover for breaks if needed, just give them a shout.
