A very quiet Sunday, perhaps due to the Bank Holiday weekend?  Just the five members, though we were livened up by a visit from Michelle, age 4, who enjoyed the trains running.  And we did manage to run a few! … Continue reading →

A second batch of layouts from Bexhill, with some interesting ideas. Bletchinghurst (OO) seems to be at most shows at the moment, but I appreciated a chance to look at it closely, without the barriers, and appreciate some very nice … Continue reading →

Posted on August 10, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

A morning (that turned into most of the day) out to Bexhill with Allan and the Derek’s seemed a good idea.  We had a pleasant run down to the show along the leafy, and mainly secondary, roads.  The Bexhill show … Continue reading →

A working afternoon followed by a running evening, with 7 members present.  The ‘working’ afternoon mainly involved tea and chat, but we did manage to trip down some point motor operating pins that were catching some locomotives.  We also admired … Continue reading →
