    Sad but plans to attend Warley have been scuppered by the political games being played by ASLEF.

    Evening All, Whilst we were in the throws of erecting 'Christmas' at Arley, there was the comforting distraction of Mayflower, who is a guest with us on 'The Valley' until mid-week, out on steam test.... ..and equally pleasant after the rain, there was a cheerful sight over the village.... Keep safe guys Regards Bob

    Evening all, A message to say that as before, the layout remains safe and secure, although restoration work has halted upon it, due to continued personal health concerns and funding, however volunteer colleagues at the Station have offered to store this at a location closer to Arley, where its eventual display home is intended to be. Will let you know further information as and when the situation develops. In the meantime, stay safe all. Regards always Bob

    Evening all, Just a posting of images showing (hopefully) the developing turntable, coaling stage and engine shed area.....slowly getting back into the layout, both a 'therapy' and to while away the increasingly darker evenings.... will post further as 'we' progress.....everything on Cambrian Street may not be 'top notch' or skilled modelling but it's 'keeping me of the streets too'....! Stay safe guys, Regards always Bob

    Evening.....Hope all are well....? Just one small step, but progress non the less, have initially 'offered up' the back screen along the engine shed and MPD area. Seems already to have made a huge aesthetic difference just by masking off the 'cliff edge' of the baseboard and will screen the required intended cassette area. Regards always Bob

    Evening guys.... Thank you for all the kind comments, much appreciated and motivating...! Hopefully it is a positive sign, but the past two evenings returning home after I have been out on my two and a half mile constitutional exercise walk around the village, I have come back and completed half an hour 'cork removal' work from the baseboards, developing the turntable / MPD area. Things 'looking up'.....! Regards always Bob

    At one time Covid wrecked my blood pressure levels which ‘tanked’ to 63/45, to say I was lightheaded was a understatement! Bob

    Thanks guys, Yes I am finding Covid difficult to shift, keeps making me so tired quickly, seeks out your vulnerabilities! LFT are returning extremely faint T lines almost non existent but just feels like a residual head cold now after the main symptoms have abated and a nose like I’ve been ‘snorting’ sherbet! Bob

    Hi All, Just to say that the layout remains safe, personal health matters centred around my earlier heart attack, recovery issues and more recently a Covid infection has complicated matters and ‘stalled’ the rebuilding plans somewhat for a bit, however still here and hopefully things can progressing again in the not too distant future. Regards to all Bob

    Hi I am so sorry it has been an age since I posted images of life at Arley,,,this has been due to being 'shunted into the 'workshop' for emergency 'firebox repairs'' , by that I mean in June I had to go to hospital after a heart attack and a stent fitted, back both at work and thankfully Arley, so getting there...! Here are a few views of today's gala at Arley..... Regards always Bob

    Hi Sorry that is has been so long in absence of posting, but I have not been too chipper since I had to go into 'The workshop' for 'Firebox Repairs'.....getting there now thankfully, so with recovery underway and winter nights approaching hopefully some good model railway therapy can be undertaken too soon?
