Title: L&B SIG Zoom meeting on the 23rd May 2022
Post by: Barry Witteridge on May 24, 2022, 20:40
Those present, Jose Kimber, Bob Barnard, Mike Bayly, Nick Colthorpe and Barry Witteridge.
The meeting started with Jose showing some pictures and talking about the recent Gala Day at Woody Bay, which included visits to Chelfham and Bratton Fleming stations and Snapper Halt. Bob also shared pictures he had taken on visits to the L&B.
Then Bob showed pictures of his original Barnstaple Town station and the later rebuild when the layout moved into a larger room which allowed a improved representation of the station to be built.
Barry showed pictures of the modules he has built since joining the Oxford area group which will be part of the groups display at Steventon Village Hall on the 25th June. Modules include a riverside quay, Combe Martin station with carriage and loco sheds, a length of countryside ending at Mill Lane bridge, an embankment with a cattle creep and finally Parracombe halt with the planned but not laid siding ending with Church Lane bridge.
Mike then showed a CW Railways L&B lamp hut and a Paul Levy lineside hut he has recently completed.
The next zoom meeting will be on the 27th June, topics for discussion to be decided.
