Trying to plan ahead a bit more than normal, I am just sorting out van bookings and the like for Portchullin’s next outing, which will be Warley on the 23 & 24th November.
We will be running the 1970s both days and there will be a few tweaks to the layout (a full set of working signals for one – our last troublesome one is getting a firm talking to at the moment!). Stop by and say hello if you are going.
We will also run the videos as usual. I have just come across my fav one of these on Youtube. This is The Line to Skye; which is firmly the inspiration of the layout. This film was commissioned by Ross & Cromarty Council’s campaign to try and save the line in 1973/74. It is firmly nostalgic and more than a little poetic in its content and style; which frankly makes it even better in my mind.
Anyway, as they say – you don’t just arrive at magic; you have to conjure it………………….enjoy!
My suggestion is to look at the youtube link soonish; I had to ask and get permission for the showing of this video and I sort of think that the poster on youtube might not have done……………………..
