Great show today at Perth Green, got there around lunchtime and had a good meander about taking in the fantastic layouts on show. Stocked up on some bits & pieces to get my own effort moving in the right direction. A friendly show that I will be back to next year Karl

Spent loads of time at Perth Green today taking in this awesome layout! Glad to see it again so,soon after Glasgow

Great to see Cottleston today at Perth Green, the detail applied is just fantastic, the pictures don’t do it justice! Karl

Please take care when booking your holidays online. I’ve just paid 400 quid for a week on the Norfolk B Roads.

I’ll be at Perth Green over the weekend to view this in the flesh Cheers Karl

Stephen, Should be there next weekend to view this excellent layout Regards Karl

Neil, I think the highways inspector will do you for not following section 74 of the NRSWA. Pedestrian & traffic management is seriously lacking on today’s standards Karl

Duncan, it takes a while for the word to get around that there is a new ‘Restuarant’ on the block, but perseverance will pay off. Karl

Best diversion ever!!

Deposit on TPE2 paid, can’t wait for these Karl

Whizzing up the ECML to visit this afternoon

See you up there over the weekend Karl

Well deserved Mike. Superb modelling that inspires me to try to get near to your standards! Karl

Train tickets and hotel booked, making a weekend of it. Up on Friday morning, home on the midday train home

Good morning all, A week of railway related travel concludes today, on Monday I travelled from Durham to Reading (via London as I can’t stand that long a direct journey on a voyager), then back again on Tuesday. Wednesday was a trip to Manchester with TPE and then home yesterday. Today, continuing the railway theme, we are off to Keswick Country House Hotel, the old station hotel for a Christmas catch up with friends. A break from work until the 2nd Jan, when hopefully the new layout will have seen plenty of my time. Have a good one Karl

Morning Chaps & Chappesses Yesterdays course was an absolute eye opener, I'll be getting the team leaders to attend the course also. I'd recommend it to anyone who manages people http://www.sja.org.uk/sja/training-courses/mental-health-first-aid/mhfa-champion.aspx?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3b3gBRDAARIsAL6D-N-ucOpdQvpdDk7HzLlfsPbXrAINwSgheML9pmy8ELF-RJkuqMg77DQaAmJ3EALw_wcB I am again up early on the 0612 from Durham to the smoke for meetings with my clients client about their plans to roll out 5G, then pie & licker, jellied eels, flat beer and other southern delicacies Have a great day Karl

Morning all, A day away from the norm today, I am attending a mental health first aid course in Newcastle. I am a big advocate of looking after the well-being of my nationwide deployed team, and anything I can learn that means I can support them to do their job well whilst maintaining a work/life balance is all good news. Have a great day Karl
