Eight of us joined in the zoom call last night including guests Gary and Paul. Ron joined us from the hospital following and accident which required him to have a hip replacement. We all wish Ron a speedy recovery.
Graeme gave us an update on Die Zimmerbahn, with the stock now given to the society sales, but no progress at the moment on the actual layout.
At the Show and Tell, Graeme presented his idea for holders for Limonene glue using glass bottles and a holder made from two pieces of MDF. Further discussions on glue followed with a recommendation for UHU POR for foam. Discussions also took place on what best to use for a trackbed, and Ian recommended DCC Concept's foam.
Ian presented his latest workings on the roller banners and his requirement for higher quality images for better resolution, preferably around 3000 by 2000 pixels.
Hugh presented some excellent photographs from his father's album of an excursion train at the Welshpool.
Ron is in the process of putting together a diorama and hopefully will be able to show us at the next meeting.
Paul then asked about British slate roofs, which was great because it resulted in a very informative and most interesting discussion from our two architect's Hugh and Ian. Ian has posted his images and descriptions from last night in a separate post (Buildings and Structures) Graeme has also posted images and a link on the same post.
Hugh - The book I mentioned last night is Narrow Gauge Rolling Stock - An Irish Pictorial, written by Desmond Coakham (ISBN 978-0-7110-3149-4) I have checked and it is still available from Amazon reduced to £5.39
Please feel free to add anything I have missed.
Regards
John G
Hugh? not me this time! <grin>
