I will be there looking forward to it

I also attended and enjoyed it thanks to Lord and Butler for the sponsorship and all the brilliant working displays picked up some early Triang-ang which I am into

Looking forward to it 

Brilliant Michael/ Grifone thank you for responding.

I have been reading about GWR Rail cars Running from Newport and Monmouth so I can one day model the Monmouth to Tintern line. here is no 23 at Tintern. I found the stuff on the web very interesting. I bought a Hornby one years ago which was boxed when home I inspected the contents and found it to be  Lima but I believe Hornby bought the tooling when Lima went into receivership  any more information would be appreciated Andy

I've heard rumour that Lotus pushed their luck with the local plod by using the A10 as a test track....

I have heard the same rumour it's prob true how times have changed.

This is my first attempt at modelling from scratch. it takes a day to cut out windows unbelievable.

Lucky so far i still have all my fingers and thumbs

The only reason i started this project  is Oxford now do the lotus cortina and the elite shown in the picture at the 1:76 scale i had a headache trying to scale the factory from the picture. its about a 1 mtr long, I will now need a bigger layout to fit it in  i have not mentioned that the the wife yet struggling getting the élan in the correct scale i have managed to get a couple that are close enough but i need at least 20 each. i have used left over UPVC to make it from cos thats what is left over from the domestic work here at home. here is a pic of cutting the rood profile on my milling machine
