Macha was a legendary goddess in Ulster. Tailte was a legendary goddess also. Maedb was a legendary queen. None existed in real life; only one was a "queen". Can we please, please, stop referring to the B1a class as "queens"? They weren't; moreover, railwaymen never referred to them as such......! (Always just "800 class"...) -

Hi David, I had to check when you sent this as I was aware that a show was at FAREham this weekend, which clashed with a Didcot show (don't ask, very poor) and the Madder Valley at Pendon. - see: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/8988-growlers-at-goring-and-other-freight/page/3/ However, FARNham is much closer and I'll try and be there. I hope that I don't jinx your operations. Good luck with the drive from Chatham through leafy Surrey to Hampshire. Poor show, @Galteemore, I'll miss the pleasure of meeting up! -

Swillybegs is out next weekend at the Farnham [Aldershot] show. So, much time is being spent trying to get things ready - or as much as they can be, before everything is boxed up, bounced fifty-odd miles and then reassembled for the show. As Alan [Tullygrainy] has previously said, all stock has received a thorough service and been given a good talking to. Likewise track and fiddle yard, in particular the cassettes and all important interfaces with the layout. Thus far [whisper it quietly], all is well - even the DG couplings and I've had a couple of enjoyable sessions at home without any need to address derailments or succumb to fingerpokens. So, not wanting to over cook things, there will be one final track and wheel clean [for the motive power - all rolling stock wheels have been cleaned this afternoon], then all will be boxed up, ready for the weekend. The final jobs will be giving the scenic part of the layout a thorough clean, then check the lighting system and my "sundries' crate, which contains the electrics, tools & other odds & ends vital for any show. After that, it will be a case cross everything, avoid ladders, mirrors etc and hope for an easy weekend. A few pictures below show a couple of changes to the running sequence, with the West Donegal Tram now emerging from the front siding [as originally planned], with CDR railcar 8 going to the main platform. Oh yes - after the controller horrors at Chatham, back in July, I am now packing four of the blighters - two Handheld and two Ws. If I need anymore, the Moderators made need to censor my next post!
