Ahoy ScOONers!
Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday 18 October. The start time is 8pm UK time as usual and the Zoom link is below.
I may not be able to attend the session myself, but I think I have it correctly set up to operate without me being there.

Another enjoyable evening and once again it was great to see Gary and Paul join us.
Graeme started the evening by showing us the ScOONs badges Ian had made for us to wear at the Aberdeen Exhibition, so a big thank you to Ian for doing that they look great. Graeme also gave us an update on the banners, which have now arrived and is also looking to make an improvised display for society kits.
We discussed and completed the form for the Glasgow exhibition in February at which we have been given and area of 2.4 metres by 2.4 metres. Sara suggested we draw up a rota for covering the three days and Ron volunteered to start building a layout for the event.
On the modelling front Graeme showed his diesel conversion now using a Tomytec chassis instead of the original Kato chassis he was going to use. The Tomytec chassis is an 8 wheel drive and the larger wheels suit the model better.
Gary showed a couple of the five tank wagons he is converting to Narrow Gauge and is using Lilliput bogies. Gary also showed his Riverossi coach and brake coach conversions.
Tom showed his progress on his sleeper coach.
Sara informed us that she will be heading back to the Corris and Talyllyn railways as a volunteer and also carrying out some signalling work on the Bo'ness railway.
Ron asked about signalling which started a very informative discussion on signalling and he also informed us that the new property he is about to move into has a cellar, which I'm sure will become a future railway room.
Please feel free to add anything I may have missed
