ScOONs Meeting Summary 6th December 12 Members attended chaired by John
The meeting started with Alan thanking Graeme for sending down the banners for the Paisley show, and will take to Glasgow next February. Graeme has sent a ScOONs review of the year to be published in the February edition of the OO9 News.
Vern - Has purchased a Bachmann Double Fairlie with sound.
Ian - Is concentrating on making more rolling stock including a railbus. He has also set up two of his modules for testing prior to the Glasgow show.
Alan - Has purchased a Scenecraft slate water tower and a couple of crimson and cream coaches.
Graeme - Is carrying out some de-modelling with the bargains he picked up at Falkirk. All are fitted with decoders but require taking apart and the paint stripped. He has also managed to purchase a Minitrains Bagnall Wing Tank which he took to the recent Falkirk show and ran on the layout.
Hugh - Has purchased the Bachmann N Gauge Emily locomotive which he is intending to convert into an interesting OO9 loco.
Tom - Attended Warley but due to the recent storm Bert was 19 hours late getting home. He also showed us a Novolines photo case which will make an excellent stock box. He is also building up his stock of wagons.
Roger - Was also at Warley and was delayed by 5 hours. He then showed photographs of the Warley show.
Rik - Showed his purchases from Falkirk including a tram which needs to be stripped down and a bit of engineering required. He will also be working on his modules over the Christmas period.
Paul - Has been working on his HO layout.
Shonagh - Was at Sheriffmuir with her metal detector (I would imagine at the battle site) She has also stripped the paint of a model vending machine she purchased and has been able to source a set of instructions for her Simplex.
David - Attended the SMET AGM and has purchased some LMS Coronation coaches.
The next meeting will be on Monday 16th December and will be chaired by Graeme.
A reminder that the Paisley show will be on the 7th / 8th December and Martyn Harrison will be attending with his layout 'Castle Caereinion.
Thanks John. I've just heard from Alan that Martyn Harrison's layout is set up at Paisley.
