So its been a while since the last post. Been a busy year and another show is fast aproaching with Falkirk only a few days away.

You never know what the future holds A view of the front of the layout.

So the dust has settled from GETS, which was the last of the 2024 bookings for Charwelton into the 80s. Lots of intrest in the layout at the show with a crowd along the front all day on both days. Didnt get that many photos as we were just running as many trains as we could. One of the team managed to get this shot of the MGR working on the up.

So with less thn 6 days to go till the show, what do you do, decide to take a siganl off as after it be ing worked on before its vome loose on the base. The only signal to be screwed to the base, the rest being soldered. First up, apart from making a hole on the layout, is to make a new base for it. Glad its the weekdn as i can spend most of it fitting this back in place........I hope.

The days are ticking away and the siganl is progressing. The new base is installed ready to have the new hole cut in it. The siganl its self has been reassembled and is a lot smoother and hopefully you cant tell that its been apart.

Thank you for the kind comment. At times we do wonder if it is, as the look out keeps making a bid for freedom but always ends up in the trees close by...

Hi all, So we have a show coming up in 32 days. A local one for a change, which for those of you who exhibit means that after the show I can be home in 20 mins instead of the 3-5 hours that its normally takes. which will be nice. One thing that we have always had an issue with after we installed the servo wa the barcket signal as its not the eaiest thing to get to and would alwys work during testing but would stop with in the first 5 mins of a show. So with the show looming, it was decided, well I decided it was time to take it off the layout and do some work on it so out wth the large screw drivers and out it came. One of the issues was the pull rod wasn't working as well as it should and was running over the edge of the platform causing drag. Out with the drill and some new wire. Now runs alot smoother. IMG_4621.MOV Just need to blacken the pull rods, fir new balance weights, make a new base. Fill the hold in the base baord to fit the new base, connect it all up and test it. Count down is on!!

Progressing along with the 30T L&YR van. Body has been soldered together and test fitted on the chassis. The door hinges were fitted next

Had good show at Macclesfield over the weekend. Gave a new toy a run out and it did rather well. Apart from beaching its self on the barrow crossing btu a quick slice with the scaple sorted that out. Didnt get chance to take many photos, so here are a couple.

So its been a while..... As im taking the train set to Macclesfield Model Railway exhibtion I've been sorting the stock and starting to get the varous bits together that are needed. The stock trays had been bothering me for a while as whilst tryingt o kepe everything secure it was leading to a little bit of damage now and again. So a rethink was needed so now the foam used for seperating the stock is at the bottom with slots cut for the couplings, I use sprat and Winkle, to keep everything in place.
