And I am now planted on the layout, in conversation with a well-known engineer... (no, not BSJ!)

Thanks to David Burleigh for helping me find a spot to locate the figures.

I bought this at the Society's 50th event at Statfold in September from CM3 Models - I thought it would make some nice corner-fillers for the layout.

It contains a large number of laser-cut items in thin plywood, thin wood and card. The instructions contain no words, but consist of compehensive diagrams. (Although I still have no idea where parts "13" go!)

For glue, I used Roket Card Glue, with Glue 'n' Glaze for the door grills on the hutches. At the stage of the above photo, I think it's time to paint the items before final assembly...

Here they are ready to plant.

Hello Hugh.
This project looks promising.
Could you tell me about the bridge seen in the photo?

Thank you
You cannot view this attachment.

The bridge itself is a Wills SS82 River or canal bridge.
I built some houses to go on top. It is demountable and covers the join in the river at the front

You may have seen elsewhere that I have withdrawn from the Abingdon Show this coming weekend, due to ill health.

With a bit of luck and a following wind (as they say) I should be at the Oxford Group's members' day at Steventon in June...

Sorry to hear you are unwell Hugh and everything is shipshape soon.

Sorry to hear you are unwell Hugh.
Get well soon.

I hope that you do not have to go to the Lady Sybil Free Hospital in Ankh-Morpork!
I understand it is easy to get lost in that place, but if you do, despite his age, Dr. John 'Mossy' Lawn, is still your best bet!!
(For those that do not know this is Disacworld stuff!!)

Get well soon Hugh.

Hello Hugh.
Take care of yourself.
Get well soon.

John Galbraith · February 28, 2024, 14:04

Sorry to hear you are not well Hugh. Hopefully not too long before you are back up and running and can join us at a ScOONs Zoom call again. Take care.

Hello Hugh.
I subscribed to Railway Modeller and just read the article in the January 2013 issue on your network.
It's really beautiful.
The sailboat is superb.
Well done.

I've finished this delightful model of the Huddersfield Corporation tramshelter on Edgerton Road (The prototype is Grade-II listed)

David Hurst presented me with a three-part, 3D printed model of this tram shelter, at Narrow Gauge North on 9th March.

The prototype has a slate roof; I modified my page of "slates" that I use for my buildings, as I decided I needed some 2mm slates (previously the smallest size was 2.5mm), and printed a sheet onto 120gsm paper. They are stuck on with Roket Card glue
