RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted October 9, 2009 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2009 I have updated the OP to reflect the fact that Dartley is no longer able to attend and that Ian and his Summat Colliery layout are now attending (thanks Ian for agreeing to come along at short notice!)

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted October 9, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2009 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Nevard Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 two weeks on Saturday - must get that signal working You can still see the floor through my new fiddle yard at the rear of CQ's extension Hey - Redgate - your signiature's like mine!

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted October 27, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2009 Like most things you do Chris, I try to emulate it 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 signal's working by the way, now for the rest ....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
