Good Evening, Only a few turned up today but I think that was down to the heat. Overall an enjoyable afternoon down the club and we shall he planning another one in October. Benjamin

Morning Jim I hope the drinks went well last night and maybe see you down there later. Benjamin

Morning, Just a reminder that it is our open day tomorrow. Benjamin

Day Two at Buxton, a slight backdating due to failures, so another xc service has turned up.

Weaver Hill gave it's usually performance, terrible to start and when the stock settled down it improved. The pendolino suffered and has failed so has been returned to the workbench this evening and should be in operation tomorrow. We are looking forward to another day playing trains tomorrow

Day 1 down, The usual early morning running issues but as always it sorted itself out. Look forward to day 2

Morning all, Weaver Hill is all set up for the show today. We shall be running the same stock as we did at Portsmouth. More photos to follow

Evening, Weaver Hill is all set up now and ready to go in the morning, See you there. We shall be running in a 2003-5ish guise

Evening All Weaver Hill now packed in van , all gone in this time !!!!!. Hope to see you over the weekend /

I can forgive the three coach MK3 sets but that black and orange poster :o. I look forward to your updates

Trident Trains at Nantwich (Dagfields) had two surplus when I visited yesterday

Just a reminder of our open day coming up in July

Richard 3D printed the wagons, I can have a look and see if I had any other photos of them. I am not sure I took many the 90s taking most of my attentions. I'll give Richard a call and if you want I can pass on your contact details if you drop them in a message to me. I am glad you enjoyed the layout at Stafford, the pendos have suffered in the years they have been racing around, the picks up just recently being changed on one of the units. When constructing the layout the whole aim was to build something that is never seen at an exhibition and I think we have mastered that, well Pete must of liked it as he copied it and scaled it up, even we had mock Shugborough.

A few photos of Weaver Hill which shall be attending the show.

Hi D9502, I am glad you like the layout, hopefully it has a few years still left in it. We are looking forward to Redditch ourselves, a show is the only the opportunity to run the layour. The WIA was build by Richard who was the organiser of the Portsmouth show and asked if he could run them over the weekend. I have to say they looked good and something that would be nice to see commercially available in OO

Totally this is how our XC sets are running around 🤣

Looking forward to attending this show with Weaver Hill. Could not ask for a better location, a great town to visit so can't complain with a weekend spend playing trains here.

So there should be plenty of EMU variety then, and of course all those Hoo to Tonbridge trip workings

Really looking forward to seeing this development, it shall be well executed by yourself Think it's a really good plan you know. Are you butchering some MK1s up to make the units

Did not know about this show. It's been added to the calendar now :) Look forward to seeing you there
