  1. Hello

     

                       Just a short note to say that the latest layout from John, Richard and I is featured in the latest edition of Railway Modeller. Named Framplington it is based on Framlingham iSuffolk and is set in 1965 shortly before closure. It was booked to appear at High Wycombe and Warley in November but as we all know that is not going to happen. It will hopefully appear at High Wycombe next year.as well as Shenfield and Spalding. These are all subject to future events. 

     

                                                                                                                Cheers

  3. Hello

     

         Everything is going well for us, Fenchurch St Peter is behaving well as are John, Richard and the Celebrity guest operator. A wonderful weekend. Do we get a virtual exhibition badge Andy?

  4. Hello

     

         If any-one wants to see the layout it is featured at the BRM Virtual Exhibition courtesy of this Forum. Catch it now as I don't know when it will be out and about next. Theoretically it is Doncaster next year but we will have to wait and see about that. I apologise for the two funny men in the interviews while Paul does all the hard work in the background . He's a star.

     

                                                                                                       Cheers

  7. Hello

     

        On the list of layouts we appear to have a lack of information about Fenchurch St Peter. The layout is built by George Woodcock and John Norton, it is 4mm, it is set in1967 and the location  is Fenland Eastern Region.

     

                                                                           Cheers

  9. Hello

     

       After our visit to Glasgow last weekend we are looking forward to our trip to Preston this coming weekend with 'Fenchurch St Peter'. As ever we hope to see some old friends and perhaps see some new ones. Say hello if you pass us by.

     

                                                                                                Cheers

  11. Hello

     

      After our successful and pleasant excursion to Biggleswade we are looking forward to our trip to Glasgow next weekend. This is a return visit to Scotland on the slightly spurious grounds that it is five feet longer than on its last visit five years ago. It also has some different rolling stock as well.

     

                                                                                                  Cheers

  18. Hello

     

         You are just showing off now Paul, Truly great. One thing, did you put a grain of wheat bulb in it so you can clearly see the interior?

  24. Hello

     

       Sorry I missed this last post. I went there when I was building the layout. Absolutely amazed that the platform and structures on it had still survived. The station house was lived in by the wonderful Neville John Watson who was very helpful to me. I hope he is still OK as he was 86 at the time. Just to say to any-ne who is interested that Fenchurch St Peter will be appearing at the forthcoming Wigan Exhibition on October 5th and 6th. Any-one on here who is attending please say hello.
