I've got a vague recollection that the main building at Kemp Town was let out to a firm that bottled or pickled things,
Wasn't that Manchester Picalilli?

The camera is always cruel
But a fantastic job any way

Thanks Colin - and also everyone else who dropped by to say hello - Crepello, Ian Lister, Mike Brown, Mike Connor, Mark Alden, Kevin Tregunna, Br Blue to name but a few, apologies to anyone I may have missed.
Layout ran very well - the odd glitch to start with, and the odd item of rogue stock but soon sorted
James and Pierre are a great crew too ....
Many kind comments made - and yes it was packed on Saturday!

If it aint done this morning it aint getting done!!!
Hope the layout runs as well as last weekend - apart from the rouge BG at the head of 1M22 that is.

Pah - that was tempting fate!
Of the 3 only 1 would run to exhibition standards - theres a video on youtube
So its back in to Churchdown works for traditional pick ups to be fitted, did that to the latest 40s and it cured their erratic running so should work on these too....

Cotswold line used to put 7 coach trains in to 2-3 coach platforms at places like Finstock Clive
Guard always checked to ensure passengers alighting at the said station(s) were in the correct coach

That's great Colin - look forwards to saying hello

Hi Richard
Hopefully wont be as bad as the 40 as no centre electrically dead axle to balance on. Will not make a judgment on it until we have run on the layout though
Phil
Set the layout up today and initial impressions are that running will be absolutely fine - more to come tomorrow....

Don't lose sight of the fact that 42 is from a body moulding first available in the late 1970s! Mechanism was suspect until Bachmann put it on to a new chassis
The 43 is superior in many - but not all - ways

Dave F's photos - ongoing - more added each day

J1243 - nice track side allotment! Is that ganger about to perform a cauliflower exchange with the guard perchance? That would be a nice cameo on a layout....
