The Ice Cream, Jelly and Trains party in Sussex

[MickT]

An invitation only little party took place in mid-sussex on 16 August, very ably hosted by Nigel Hill, Chris and Karen Ford. For those who are interested, I have uploaded a photo report of the day on my blogsite at: http://micksrovingreporter.blogspot.com/

Mick, you might need to check the links. The one in your post takes me to your photo collections page but the link to the photo album from the front page does not work as I just get a message from Picasa to say "Sorry, that page was not found".

[MickT]

Don't panic! One of the hazards of uploading to t'internet at gone midnight after a very stressful and long day (long story) is that it is easy to forget to unlock the photo album and set it to "public on the web" in the viewings options. I could see the album OK but nobody else could. Maybe I should do that on all my albums, would make life much simpler!

Apologies to everyone who has been melting the switchboard at the Samaritans, it should all be working OK now!

I did wonder if the timing of your post had something to do with it ;)

Thanks Mick - most interesting.

Must be very relaxing to settle back in 'The Spyglass' with a glass of something and watch those lovely little trains go by...

Excellent report, Mick. Some well known layouts and some I didn't know. And the pleasure of seeing your collection of railcars and rolling stock again.

The Whitesands Quay project by Simon Cox is a real surprise. It's good to see someone carry out what Reinier Hendriksen had in mind.

Many thanks Mick, an excellent report as ever.   Some excellent shots of a fascinating collection of layouts and models.   Well done to the organisers too.

You even managed to include some very interesting 3mm SG models as well!
