First up, the Sentinel on Simon T's ARSE – be careful how you say that! Lovely model.
'Marianne' the building of which has filled many pages in the S7 Newsletter. A French lady 'of a certain age'.
Richard Chown, of 'Castle Rackrent' fame, the builder of 'Marianne', standing by ARSE
A view of Peter Drost's winning entry in the Challenge 33. Tanat Valley 3 with a GWR owned Peckett tank doing the honours.
A view of TV3 from above the bufferstop. Peter told me this view was usually not possible as the end is hard up against a wall. Interesting what you can cram into 33 square feet.
This little exBristol & Exeter Rly tank was the first loco that Peter scratchbuilt in S7, many years ago (he wouldn't say how many).
I am trying without success to load an image of the winner of the Peco wagon-building competition...

Well done. I still recall our discussion some years back when you outlined your plans for suspension and individual traction motors, etc. and it's good to see it all come to fruition. I would have loved to have been there to see it.

I've just got home. We spent the weekend with my parents in Dorset, and their internet is intermittent at best.
Having had a cuppa, I now need to cuddle a cat who has missed us for three whole days, and then I might be able to download the video and edit it.
Look in again a week or so's time!

Righty-ho, here's a short video of things trundling about.
I'll sort out some photos later.

Our two cats studiously ignored us for several hours after our return. Until dinner time in fact.

Yes, a lovely model. Can you turn the volume up?
It was a bit swamped by the nattering going on. Then again, it wasn't overwhelming everything around it, as some sound-equipped layouts can do.

Thanks for posting that, it's far better than my effort, as I suspected it would be! Who'd have thought it, S7 models moving around on an S7 layout
You're very kind with your captions (insert embarrassed smiley here) and I can't claim any credit for the Cargowaggon flat - that's Simon's.

I wasn't sure, which was why I put a query on it. I'll find some time to amend and upload a fresh version in a while.

Thanks John, I can still remember it too, even though it was quite some time ago now - 3, possibly 4 years! Hopefully you'll be there to see it in action on another occasion - I might even have the lights sorted out by then

Yes, it will go louder, but gets a bit rattly if I do that at the moment. It sounds reasonably loud at home, but it had a lot more competition in the hall.Yes, a lovely model. Can you turn the volume up?

Now, I may be getting old and forgetful, and I appreciate the correction, but I do recall Martin discussing such beasts on these very forum pages. I know Tom has one, too. I was 50% wrong!
I'll re-edit shortly to correct my error, and re link the vid because no doubt GooToob will be fussy about it.

It was nice to meet Richard Chown face to face as it were, an excellent modeller and probably ?the furthest travelled visitor to Mark on Saturday.

I didn't manage to get any decent video of Merney Junction, sadly. I got a couple of stills, but not with any stock on it.
