    Headlining in two modelling mags in a month and getting two layouts in the 'layout of the year' cannot go without a mention. Great achievement RL.

    The Hornby magazine arrived this morning and your article definitely captures the spirit of the layout. Well worth a read. Tom

    RL, There is a picture taken in 1959 of a 9F on S&C line in Bradford and Barton book on Skipton -Carlisle with a goods train with a great mixture of wagons. Let me know if you want more details. Tom

    ..... and the scenic potential! Tom

    As Baz said, really enjoyable day with a great project. Cannot wait to see the next sections complete and scenery building start. Tom

    Sounds like a chance to have a small shunting layout within the larger set up. Do you have a track plan of the whole layout that you could show again, please. Tom

    Sorry, cannot help with this query.

    RL, Your silver award was well deserved and the report above shows why. Tom

    Not to be seen at your end of the fiddle yard, JW!!

    Bring all your warmest gear, it was not to anyone's taste. Might be better in the morning with the large doors closed.

    Did RL forget to mention loading the van, several hours of stressful work erecting the layout and at the end of the two days taking everything apart and loading the van!! Runing the layout is the easy bit ... Jesse should be paying for the two days of pleasure. Tom

    After about 18 months of uncertainty, Ilkley Mark 2 has a new home and rebuilding can start. I have all the anticipated challenges to face, the new home is a different shape to the old garage and doors are in different places. As I stripped the layout down to the bear bones to move it, I am also faced with questions, like having learnt more about the subject do I start again with some of the buildings for example or just use them again and spend my time on other things? More to follow .... Tom

    We drove from Vancouver to Jasper like RL then returned on the RM. Sadly whilst watching live TV at our overnight stop on the way north we witnessed the sad events in New York when planes flew into the Twin Towers. Most Americans in the area left for home and incoming flights were banned so it was very quiet in Jasper. The rail journey produced spectacular scenery but was uneventful.

    RL, Two excellent articles and I would recommend them as a very informative read for anyone who is thinking of purchasing a copy of BRM.

    It looks as though there will be all round viewing, so no sleeping in the fiddleyards then!!

    Paul, what are we taking this year? Tom

    After reading the last 3 items, I feel a load more scenery work coming on. What happened to "less is more" philosophy? Tom

    No, I was hoping someone could shed some light. My reference was the book Railways in Wensleydale. Tom

    I agree with you, most of the milk from Wensleydale moved east and I have found a number photographs of small numbers of tankers propelled by G5 locos heading to Leyburn or Northallerton but the LMS owned the line from Hawes to Garsdale and one book I have read suggests milk was also moved by the LMS to Garsdale but as yet I have not seen any evidence to support that or an explanation of where it went to from Garsdale. Tom

    I have enjoyed reading about milk trains on S and C and WCML. I am looking for photographs to aide my modelling. I have one photograph of a milk train leaving Carlisle but it focuses on the loco. Can anyone help please? I am also trying to understand the milk traffic which operated under LMS (or early BR days) west along Wensleydale to Garsdale and the onto the S and C. Again please can anyone help or point me towards relevant literature or pictures? Thanks, Tom

    Andrew, I was at the Grammar School from 58 to 65. Your mum's name rings a bell, the only Palmer I remember was the French teacher. Maybe a PM if you want to expand on this topic. I have also been relatively quiet as I have stripped Ilkley layout down in the last couple of months, pending a house move and it is and is likely to be in storage for some time to come. Tom

    Tony, I agree with Mark. I have a Cotswold kit of the L and Y 2-4-× T and the box and it looks familiar. Cannot do detailed check at the moment as they are packed away. Tom D

    Agree with Baz. Great to run the railway, great to see the team again and the bells worked and were needed. Tom
