It is coming along nicely.

Looks like you got as good deal there. Good luck with your project.

Well you can tell the D/O that there are now less than three months until the layout's exhibition debut!

Must check the measurements you have given me for the Weston show ;-)

It is looking good!

It is looking good

No - definitely 00 - I even have some track in stock!

With the amount of stock I have any new project would definitely be 00 gauge.

No more requests from me apart from ensuring that young Master Grimes is kept firmly under control!

I reckon you need to bring the elephant train - and don't forget the Jubilees. That is a must!!!

Equally sorry to hear your news Don. A shame that all your efforts will not produce the model you hoped. But sometimes it is best to call a halt instead of struggling on. Hope to see you at the club sometime.

A fantastic looking building. The layout is looking very good and I can't wait to see it at Weston in November. Was good to meet you at the Burton show today.

It is looking so good it is a definite contender for "Best in Show" at Weston 2014.

Mikkel needs to face the wrath of the stun gun.

I quite like the Duchess, but the Jubilee is still the tops for me. Sounds like you have quite a few Duchesses though.

Stun Gun! Very harsh. As for Jammy Dodgers you will probably be unlucky, more likely to be Jaffa cakes.

I am sure I can calm the other half down with free tea or coffee throughout the day at the Weston show!

Who me? Not guilty your honour!!!

Sorry that was Billy Grimes after being nicked by the local bobby following a shed bashing trip.

I, meanwhile, am quite happy to be blamed for someone playing trains. If you want my advice - leave plenty of space for Crimson Jubilees. That is bound to get at least one vote in the best in show competition as I am bound to vote for any layout featuring Stanier's finest!

Perhaps the museum staff were worried because they knew Andy had already consumed some of Burton's finest!

Museum and layout are definitely worth a visit, especially when the Rail-ex is on in November!

I had forgotten Johnie Morris had read some as well.

I remember those story tapes, I think I had some of them. I do remember the original ones though where Willie Rushton read the stories!

Yes I think it could be a long trial. 

That is a quality model. I have picked up the Langley Models "hardware store" set from the Stafford show and believe the shopkeeper could be painted up as Arkwright. I just hope I have the painting skills.

If not I will make sure you are well away from the ladies in the catering department ;-)

I did see from across the hall Don, but too far away to shout. Think you were at Ingleton at time.

Looking forward to seeing you at Weston
