L&B SIG February meeting

[Barry Witteridge]

Today the second meeting of the L&B SIG was held with 6 members attending.
The meeting started with Bob Barnard presenting his "Chelfham in a box" layout. The concept of this layout was to give Bob something to take to exhibition along with the L&B information stand. Bob outlined the planning of this layout with images of the 1/10 scale model he built to see if his ideas worked. The layout has interchangeable stock, buildings and fixtures to enable the layout to depict either early L&B or Southern Railway practice.
Other topics discussed were which "modular" baseboards members used, the latest RTR narrow gauge locos being released and what delights are to come from Bachmann and Peco/Kato collaboration. Locos with sound operating on DC layouts and video cameras mounted on wagons for those "different" layout views.
The date of the next meeting to be announced soon
