Well worth you doing an article for one of the magazines. The Modeller pay well and the is also every reason for features on the rolling stock too. Deserves a wider audience!

Kilmore had an outing to the Ulster Model Railway Club exhibition at Dundonald High School this weekend. Very enjoyable two days. Many thanks to the UMRC for a well organised show. The new venue seemed to work well. I've posted some photographs in the 'What's On' section.

Thanks as always to Kieran Lagan for sharing running duties. Between us we managed to keep trains moving throughout the 2 days without any major dramas. The odd derailment and a few decoupling moments were about the extent of it.

We're still getting the hang of the Gaugemaster Infinity controller which didn't help us by refusing to power up first thing on the second day and then wiping the loco roster from its memory when it did. Operator error maybe.

However the BlueTooth did mean we could operate the layout from some nearby soft chairs when the oul legs began to give out.
