 Tan Yr Allt worked perfectly this afternoon  and the trialing of a number of locos and stock was very successful.

Looking forward to playing trains over the weekend at the Wigan Show.

We have a new set of black curtains to go around the layout.

If you would like to view David Hennesseys super photos of the Narrow Gauge content of the show, go to the Wigan Finescale Website and click on.

You can view the whole show, but for me the NG stands out.

For ease of finding David's photo gallery of the show, here's a link:

Sorry about lack of technical aplomb and giving you a nice neat "click here" thingy - I can't remember how to do it!
Anyway, if the link is blue and when you hover your mouse over it goes underlined, then just left click on it and it should take you there, if it isn't and is just showing as black plain text (it happens sometimes!), then highlight the 2 lines and right click, there is an option to then go straight to the website page that starts David's photos, or alternatively, highlight the 2 lines, copy it and then paste it into your search engine, should give the desired result.

No extra charge Stan, all part of the service!

PS - just had a trawl through everything myself - an excellent set of photos and well presented - congratulations to David  - but I don't think Blair will be too ecstatic about South Bohemia being described as "009" !
