18 attended the May meeting (Pic001).
Colin Capel brought along a 2091 and 2095 class H0e Diesel locos along with a couple of bogie coaches and some transporter wagons with standard gauge loads. (Pic002), which due to the curves on the available layouts were restricted to Colin’s length of straight track.
Neil Davies brought along his Kato Unitrack set up (Pic003). On it he ran his Fourdees ‘Little Isaac’ with a Ffestiniog style brake van and some Fourdees wagons (pic004). Neil also showed his now finished Fourdees ‘Secunda’ with his repaired Paul Windle ‘Sirdar’ (pic 005).
Also making use of Neil’s test track was Mike Wall. Mike’s latest purchase was a RNAD Diesel loco in lined maroon livery (Pic006).
Bob Taylor had brought along his ‘test track in a box’. This allowed his Bachmann Blanche in Penrhyn livery a chance to stretch her legs/wheels (pic007).
Dick Johnson brought along ‘Tren Bach’ once more. There seemed to be quite a bit of action on the layout. I must admit however that I managed to miss it all and only took a quick snap as Dick was packing up to go home (sorry Dick!) (Pic008).
Mike Bartleet brought along his recently purchased Bachmann NG7 Quarry Hunslet ‘Una’ (Pic009). Mike also continued working on his On30 oil depot.
Matthew Tozer was another using the meeting to ‘get something done’. Matthew finished painting up some more 009 Fox Valley railway stock (3d prints from T&S Models). He also had an 0-16.5 china clay wagon for the Harburn China Clay Company (pic 010).
Joseph Jacks showed his current project – a mini Dolgoch layout (Pic011). This has been inspired by Sven van der Hart’s diorama layouts. It will give a home for Joseph’s collection of Talyllyn locos and stock.
