Five members assembled for Wednesday’s meeting.  It was especially good to see Ian back in circulation, after a really tough year one way and another.  I don’t think the Treasurer is sticking his tongue out at me (I hope)……

Ian had brought along a Farish Class 108 to test.  A lovely model, but it will have to go back as it had problems with the gears meshing.  A real shame, as Farish models are usually reliable out of the box.

Allan ran a short goods train….

And I tested some Japanese trams ready for Saturday….

By 9:15 we’d all run our trains and had a good chat – so we packed up and went home. 

My Ruth has been in Porto, and posted this picture.  It’s artistic, but the road and rail bridges make a great composition and are interesting in themselves.

Of course, you may prefer to model the first bus in Portugal, 1914…
