Been Quiet – Sorry!
Whilst I have been quiet with regard to postings, I have been both modelling and doing other things. I just have not really had the camera out much!
One of the “other things” I have been doing was exhibiting Portchullin at Wigan. The layout threw its only real spanner at us on the first morning where we found that one of the Fulgerex’s had sent one of its electrical contacts into orbit (it has happened before) and thus would not operate. A little bit of cussing and work below the board managed to get it to manually change to the loop and we thus did without the front siding all weekend.
I did not manage to get any pictures myself but “Black & Decker Boy” did take a rather good video:
This compliments the other really good video of the layout taken by “Highlandman” at Epsom a couple of years back:
Portchullin’s Next Outing
My existing layout, Portchullin – as shown above in Andy York’s photo, has its next outing this Saturday (16th Feb) at Tonbridge. Details of the exhibition are here
After this, it will be a month’s rest and then we are out at the London Festival of Model Railways at Alexandra Palace. This is on the 23 and 24th of March and Details can be found here
After this, it will be Wigan in June an unconfirmed invite for Hartlepool in July and then Warley way off in November.
