Heyside: 7mm L&Y, late 50s/early 60s
Thanks very much for the welcome guys. 
I am sure Richard will be our main 'Thunder' poster & updater with details of his/our team's latest wizardry.
After Manchester we talked about our show invites & also where we would like to attend. I am very pleased that Aylesbury 2013 has now been confirmed. An internal e mail has already been sent around our group reminding people, including Richard, of locos that need to be finished (our 'f' word) and running for that show.
By the way, as they say, an army marches on it's stomach. Richard's wife Linda provides wonderful banquets for our regular working meets (no dancing wenches or jesters yet, but we live in hope!). Well, you may not be surprised to learn that when team members are asked about their availability for future working sessions, enquiries are often made as to whether Linda will be present. The reason for this is because in her absence R organises cold ham or maybe cheese sarnies and suddenly on those days less team members attend! You may say we're all spoilt and lucky to get a sarnie...In my day of course it were a handful of hot gravel & that were a luxury...
Anyway, back to the coal face... I 've got tender pick ups to fit to a Crab. (darn thing keeps moving sideways!)

I liked the light engine running tender first with the BV, lovely 
Unfortunately I didn't get to Manchester as planned but i'm hoping to see Heyside at future shows. What's on the agenda following the post show break ?
the layout certainly looks the part, but one thing that strikes me from the 8F shots is that the edge would blend in better if it was stone or stone cladding rather than black.
