I live near the former Waveney Valley line and have most of the books featuring it. (I'm planning a micro layout probably going to be called Flixton Pits a fictional aggregates loading point where 009 NG loads into SG wagons) Looking through the books sand loading is mentioned at/near Homersfield (near to Flixton's current day quarry) and Ditchingham but i've not found and info or photos of where or how it was loaded. Anyone one seen anything? It is also interesting that repatriated from France 16T Mineral wagons were used in later days. Parkside make a kit. Presumably 5 plank open were wagons previously. Thank you in advance for any info

We've been in discussions today about what to do regarding our event Sunday and its been decided as we're also a part of the National Heritage Open Days that we'll go ahead with the event. There will be a minutes silence at 10.30.

They have recently put some on ebay so must have some stock. I spoke to them a few months ago about track and they said if it has the buy option they have stock of not they don't. The track hasn't come into stock yet so doesn't look like its being made at the moment.

Scalelink have some of the Shinohara crossings in stock, Would they be of any use? https://www.scalelink.co.uk/acatalog/Shinohara_Track___Pointwork_HOn3-p1.html

I've got a little test track using 5 1/2" radius but only very small 0-4-0s and small wagons will go round it. Minitrains locos are fine round it.

I started the Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers a few years ago and we meet outside Beccles. We have members travelling from Swaffham, Ipswich, Wymondham etc so people are prepared to travel if they really want to. We generally get around 15 to a meet. Obviously I appreciate its a broader subject. Good luck

You can join the excellent 009 Society and buy the Society kit for the price of a RTR one (well just about) Plus have the satisfaction of making your own.

Just a reminder our event is tomorrow. It will also be the only chance to see the 009 Society Sales stand in East Anglia this year. The new handbook will be available.

The layout list has just been updated. Sat nav is a bit sketchy in these parts so look out for the Red phone box and turn onto paddock by it.

Its amazing a decent model of NO.3 hasn't been done. Would be a very popular model.

Arbor Models brought out a kit for Sierra No3 but was very difficult to get together successfully apparantly. Plans have been in the Narrow Gauge And Shortline Gazette Published in the January/February 1991 issue

Sounds like a nice trip down. No motorway quickness around here is there! Hope to see you there.
