An afternoon working party attracted six members, and mainly consisted of completing the droppers on the fiddle yard and the newest corners. The afternoon included plenty of conferences between Derek’s (you remember the Chuckle Brothers, don’t you?)

After the fish and chip supper, we set up the circuit, with some careful adjustment from Derek and Simon, and expert supervision from Chris…..

At which point we found that a couple of tracks on the fiddle yard were shorting out. So we turned it upside down and reversed several droppers. Normal service was soon restored, and Toby was let loose with some dodgy looking trucks..

Chris’ lovely weathered N Class 2-6-0.



Southern Pacific from Simon.



Derek’s tanker train.

And one of my J94s got another run out.


It was pouring with rain, and no other members turned up, so we packed up early and waded home….
