with photos from Ian and additional commentary by Alan and Tom. There was some discussion as to whether we attend in future, though it was noted there were few society stands.
Ian - showed us photos of the progress on the scenic work on his return loop module "Cresotone Mill" which now feature a sectioned signal box and grounded coach, providing a scenic block and perspective.
David - has been working on electronics (MERG) material.
Shona - is now the proud owner (birthday present) of a 45 mm gauge NG loco for a future garden railway.
Chris - showed us the progress in setting up his layout in his new house.
Tom - showed us the progress he has made in producing circuit boards for the multiple sound player he is developing.
Paul - showed us his FourDees "Whiting" locomotive that has been painted beautifully by his daughter.
Ron - is thinking of 009 plans now he has taken retirement.
Rik - (whose birthday is was) was asking about wire gauges for module wiring and there followed a discussion on the topic.
There was then a discussion about paints for brass domes and paint pens following a question by Chris about Paul's loco.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 2nd of July and will be chaired by Vern
