Last minute, I have set myself the challenge of building a complete engine within the two days in Scale7 to prove that S7 doesn't need to take an age..

Wish me luck, but I'm quietly confident.

Well, a small tank loco without valvegear might be doable from a simple (Connoisseur?) kit. So I'll pop by on Saturday to point and laugh admire progress...

See you then,

Steph

Good luck mate, it's entirely possible but I'll bet you'll get your ears talked off to slow you down.... and you'll have to dodge the paper jets, incoming, from across the isle

Well I went, bought a couple of bits of dark side stuff and tested my new camera.
Frankly, I'm not surprised that JB has revealed a second career as a contortionist, but I am amazed at his decision to make it a part of his model-making and everyday life...:


By comparison Col seemed to be much more thoughtful and a little less of an exhibitionist...:


All in all a good day with lovely weather and decent beer. At least I wasn't exhibiting this year!

I can see why....is that not a model of our Frankie's finest 3-cylinder compound 0-8-0's lurking on the table.....you don't see many of those about

Yes John, I'm in the middle of four A class loco's, currently I'm waiting delivery of a mass of castings from Laurie Griffin, that should give the post man back ache

Good to see you Steph, I think I was contemplating when I could escape for my next coffee ...... had a good day and hopefully helped a few guy's who were starting out in etched kit construction judging by the number that sat down in front of my table who rediscovering a desire for model railways not seen since their childhood .
My recommendation was for a kit from Big Jim so he may see a rash of orders soon.

ATB, Col.

Funny you should say that. He's got a rather amusing story about falling asleep on the motorway in a traffic jam...
