I was a bit late getting to the meeting tonight.  Thank you SouthWest trains for stranding me at Kew Bridge Station for half-an-hour.  The problem – not just a broken down train at Mortlake but a dodgy level crossing at Chiswick.

Having got down to the hall, and expecting to see a circuit up and running, all I found were a few gentlemen in armchairs.  So by mutual consent, it became a tea and talk evening.  Chairman Allan is on the mend, as you can see from the T-shirt….

 

Derek went home and came back with his test track, so those who had brought some stock could give it a run.  Paul produce his usual Japanese goods train, that turned out to be a push-pull train – of sorts.  Are the locos pulling, pushing or just mid-train helpers?
