Once again, seven members turned up for club night, but we were graced by two visitors – welcome to Ben and Steve, and hope that we didn’t put you off too much.  Not many photos, as I spent too much of the evening talking!

I last ran this tanker train and it wouldn’t stay on the track.  But with an N Class Mogul at it’s head, it ambled around for much of the evening with no attention needed at all.

Simon was running this Piko USATC 65-DE-19A.  I saw this model in Stuttgart, and wondered whether Simon would buy one.  These early US diesels were exported to Europe post-war to help put the railways back together.  But they can be used just as well on an American layout.  Simon also ran this Dapol 9F 2-10-0, that he had bought second hand (probably to convert into an American loco.)  He insisted I took a picture, as most unusually for this model, it ran impeccably.

Simon also ran this old-timer.  An unpowered loco, propelled by a motorised coach behind.

Derek was still trying to keep his coaches upright, even with their new bogies!

Terry also went American (for a while.)

The OO9 section of the club (Terry) then met and ran this rather interesting train.

And a brief workbench report from home.  I decided to keep my existing baseboard, so knocked the extension that I didn’t like off the end, and replaced the embankment section with one for the revised track layout.  Next job will be to replace the track…..

This old picture of Baker Street station is almost a real life Minories…..
