Scotland Area Group SCOONs meeting 5 May

[Ian McAulay]

Hello SCOONers

The next Zoom meeting of the Group will be at 8pm on Wednesday 5 May. It will be hosted jointly by John Galbraith and me (Ian McAulay).

We have a (very) small amount of official business to manage, which is to get ourselves properly registered as an Area Group. Graeme Dunbar has posted about that on another thread.

After that, as John Galbraith has mentioned in another post, it will be a general discussion with show'n'tell. If there are pictures or videos you wish to show, you can email them to me. If you don't know my email address, PM me on the forum and I'll tell it to you. Otherwise, you can show them on your own device and share screen.

SCOONers,

Many thanks to you all for making it such an enjoyable meeting yesterday and a special thanks to Hugh Norwood for joining us. We had no set agenda last night yet we ended up with a very full meeting, infact the longest one so far, and the amount of different subjects brought up during the Show 'n 'tell was amazing. We had Graeme' kit bashed portakabins, two different ferries, one a converted landing craft from Ian and the other a 3D print from Tom who also showed us a 3D printed timber wagon. Sara presented her laser cut portable storage/ work station and Hugh R showed his plan for an Inglenook shunting layout. We had a great little layout in a drawer, and here I must apologise as I did not catch who showed this so please reply and let me know.  We also had Tom's son showing his diesel in Scotrail blue. Some general modelling was discussed by all and Ian showed his proposed SCOONs logo, and to round things off Hugh Norwood gave us some images and a video of his excellent Angst Lesspork.  There were only three actions from last night,

1. Graeme to complete and submit the form to the society to confirm SCOONs an official Group.
2. Ron to see if we can get a space at the Glasgow exhibition the next time he has a meeting with them.
3. Sara to send some images of locos to Ian for the logo.

Again many thanks to all contributors and if I have missed anyone my sincere apologies. Anyone who hasn't joined us yet and would like to please get in touch with Graeme Dunbar.

Ian do you have anything to add that I have missed?

Looking forward to the next meeting which will be run by Brian and Tom with Tom giving a presentation on 3D printing. Stay Safe.

Regards

I think the only other item in the show'n'tell was my foamboard baseboard. I've posted about that in the Baseboards and Construction section of the Forum as it may be of general interest.

And I agree, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, with lots of good chat, a little banter, and some useful modelling tips and advice passed on.

[John Galbraith]

Sorry about that Ian, but that's great you have posted it along with the photographs. At lest people now get a proper description and see how it looks. I think you are going to give a lot of people food for thought when it comes to making baseboards.

Regards

Thank you for having me! It was good to meet fellow 009ers who I would not have met in the normal course of events and to see what you are doing on the modelling front.
