Seven of us joined the meeting in September – Hugh, John, Martin, Mike S., Robin, Will and Paul.
There were apologies from Mike M. and Steve.

Mike S has adapted another part of the original Metcalfe Brewery kit into an engineering factory that sits in the corner of the layout. The inside is detailed (with lighting).

Paul showed the started drawing for a Padarn Railway coach and was awaiting confirmation of key dimensions from the National Trust at Penrhyn Castle.

He had also completed a card mock up of Clogher station with the help of photographs from Alan Gee, the Alphagraphix kit for Drumod, item in the MRJ by Simon de Souza and scaling help from David Hurst.

Hugh had a new computer and was able to use his Zoom backdrop (which had him sat within his layout [Angst-Lesspork]) to take us on a ride around the layout – the majority of buildings seen were constructed of card.

There was also good discussion on modelling issues and techniques and some of us will hopefully meet up at the Statfold 009 50th Anniversary event.

The next meeting has been pencilled in for Thursday 19th October, starting at 8.00pm (awaiting confirmation).
