David Holman Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Fintonagh making its second appearance and the first of several this year, with Reading ALSRMS on 11th May, Littlehampton 18th May and 7mmNGS Convention at Burton on 8th June. Come and say hello if you are at any of these. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Holman Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 A fine weekend at Epsom and very nice to meet with a fellow modeller of this parish, along with many others who I have got to know over the years. Epsom is a quality show, not just for layouts, but traders too. Any show that includes Roxey, Branchlines, C&L, Greenscene, Railbooks and Eileen's is worth a visit for them alone in my book. Fintonagh didn't initially cover itself in glory on Saturday. The AW tractor was running badly, while we had trouble with couplings and magnets. However, once the tractor's problem was identified to one of its pickups, it ran a whole lot better and put in a good shift over the weekend. Uncoupling magnets were gradually overcome, while a couple of wagons were withdrawn and operation rationalised to make the sequences more reliable. Hence Sunday was more relaxed and apart from the turntable needing a bit of attention, there isn't too much of a list to sort out before Reading in two weeks time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
