Wednesday afternoon, four of us arrived for a working party, and joined by Ian Carter to talk about show catering.  My afternoon was spent checking out the wiring on the fiddle yard.  A dry solder joint on a microswitch seems to have solved the main board’s problems.  However, the extension board is still a puzzle – power is not getting through to two tracks, but everything seems to check out for continuity.  An investigation for next time…..

In the evening, numbers swelled to nine, but there seemed to be more talking than running.  So just the one photo, with the usual suspects in characteristic poses!

So I’ll add a few bonus photos.  This the most realistic model track that I’ve ever seen (HO).

Porthywaen Halt on the Tanat Valley Line in Shropshire, long after closure.  (John Williams).

This would make a lovely short train with heavy traction.  Rio Grande’s “Yampa Valley”  near Plainview, Colorado; March, 1967. (Ken Crist.).

Hook Spring 88 – Don Gilham.  The tube vehicle was LT’s track recording coach.

And for bus fans, an ex-London trolleybus in Georgetown, Penang, 1950’s.

G.T.M.T. stood for George Town Municipal Transport. This double-decker trolleybus was photographed on Duke Street, next to Dewan Sri Pinang.
