Exhibition time again and lots for us
to help at. Please support the layout owners even for half a day if you cannot
do more.
OO Gauge Matters
Almost all of the points for the
yard have been made and laid by nearly everybody with very acceptable results.
Additional useful photos of the
yard and buildings have been uncovered including one from a recent edition of
the Hornby magazine. They all will contribute to the overall accuracy of the
layout and to counter any criticism of lack of proto-typicality.
Building proposals are advancing –
restricted by the amount of space in our version of the yard but some
‘mock-ups’ have been constructed to test theories and a slight re-arrangement
of track alignment has been agreed to accommodate the presentation of ‘process’
for the sleepers and allow the overhead gantry to appear functional while
remaining relatively short and not crowding the yard and buildings too much.
Some thought is being given to the
representation of CWR passing across and leaving the yard while leaving the
process off-scene.
Arrangements for the Foundry and
its accompanying reclamation yard are likely to be tackled soon.
Further purchases of
baseboard materials and point motors are imminent and thought will need to be
given to improving working conditions and safe storage of baseboards.
Mick is making progress with the
buildings at the end of the layout, while Peter C is building walls. O

Well we hope it’s all OK! Much overtime
and hard work by several members have been applied.
Other
Business
We need a venue for the Christmas Party
please. The suggested date is 19th December but can be changed if the host wishes to
arrange a more convenient date.
