Welcome to Port Robert the latest offering from Clyde MRC which will debut at ModelRail Scotland at the SEC in February.
It is inspired, at least in part, by Port William in Dumfries and Galloway.
It is the brainchild of our treasurer coincidently called Robert.
The layout has had a longer and more difficult gestation than we had hoped!
The design and baseboard frames were in place at the start of 2020. Things slowed down somewhat thereafter for reasons we all know. Things have been further complicated by accommodation problems which at time of writing are not resolved.
The attached photographs give a flavour of the layout which consists of a small terminus station and rail linked fuel depot all in a horizontal space of 3x0.75 metres.
we have managed a scale 75 feet height difference though!
(Apologies for mixing metric and imperial, no one would ever do that would they?).
more to follow
ps that’s the aforementioned Bob in the third shot.

Got an email yesterday afternoon alerting me to the fact that 37/4 sound chips were back in stock.
Ordered ASAP.
DHL delivered before noon today. Luckily package fitted through letterbox as they were two hours earlier than promised and I was out.
That is what you call Accurascale service!
Many Thanks
David

Thanks Don, John Greenwood built the basic loco in exchange for some of the buildings on Padstow. Being impatient I brought it home earlier this year unfinished and completed the detailing myself - as usual John’s work is excellent.it’s plain black so May get painted sooner rather than later!

Is the capitalisation of May a Freudian slip?

Good morning everyone,
I know there is great excitement elsewhere today but a quick note to say the Caledonian sleepers are now shipping out to customers! We have a lot of pre-orders so it will take most of this week to get through them all, but we will work as fast as we can. The first batch have gone out this morning.
Thank you to everyone for their custom and patience on these. It's great to be able to type these words finally after it took so long to get them to our warehouse and more importantly, get them designed and made in the first place.
Cheers!
Fran
I see you can type with your tongue your cheek!

I can’t help thinking the station should be Kilncadzow for the pronunciation!
Paul.
That would have been a step too far!

Hopefully we will have a 304 and a 318 in addition to the two 320s this time round.

Glad all is well. I, for one, would like some moon piccies.
Mojo is an elusive beast, mine flits in and out of my grasp.
your followers look forward to your return.
In the meantime enjoy the Lunacy and have very good Xmas and NewYear.

The old authentic/realistic debate again!
My preferred word is plausible.
When concrete evidence is not available.
