There were nine of us at the meeting and although there was not a lot of completed work being shown the creative forces seem to be rising in the group with    the design and preparation for new layouts ongoing.

A report on Model Rail Scotland has been submitted and also something for Branchlines.

Ian our Zoom host has had covid and got a new PC. Many thanks to him for looking after the meeting when I'm sure I would be looking for an early night in such circumstances.

Tom is making great progress  with his baseboards for his Endersleigh (if I heard right) layout and asked the group for input on the route to the harbour from the station.

Hugh has joined the OOn3 SIG. Previously he reported on his 12mm Inglenook.

Ron has ordered baseboards for a new layout. Unfortunately his Model Rail Scotland layout suffered some damage after the show so he is considering whether to rebuild it, use parts on the new layout and so on.

Sara gave an update on her layout which will be able to be operated from both sides for home and exhibition use so will have a movable control panel and Peco point motors with switches. She also showed a video clip of a fascinating dual metric/imperial lathe carriage at the Corris workshops.

Paul is hoping to find some suitable chassis at a swapmeet near him in the USA.

Alan passed on information about an exhibition at Summerlee Museum on 18/19th June.
