I thought that this evening would be the first for a long time with just chat and no trains.  But after half-an-hour or so six of us had trickled in, so we set up the layout and ran some trains.  Mind you, half the attendance spent the evenings discussing ailments and their dislike of computer banking and the like. 

The other half played trains….  It seemed to be an American night.  My D&H rake ran almost impeccably all evening.

Simon ran a variety of trains….

Chris brought some sanity to proceedings with a British goods train.

And despite the slow start, a good time was had by all!
