long island jack Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Just a heads up, Jon Grants got Sweethome Alabama at Hull exhibition next weekend. He's been adding some extensions to each end of the layout,i've seen and worked the left end (timber loading point) don't know what he's doing with the other,think he said something about propane tanks, will have to wait and see on Friday setup,god know's how long the layout is now,if he keeps on extending we'll need a artic to move it around!!!!.

long island jack Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Ah! the dulcet tones of John H's Banjo,they send me to sleep every time i here them!!!!,or is it the numerous pints of beer,can't remember which,to be honest,i don't mind the Banjo playing it adds to that Southern feel the layout has,it's those unionist spies yo've got to watch out for with there scissors!!! Pete The photo of Jon was taken a Glasgow,and the grey haired lady might have been Shortliner!!!! Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any question about the photo's i'll try and answer them. Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
