Five made it to our online August meeting.
Julien Webb had been working on a harbour office building for Xavier’s Creek, using the Wills Crossing Keepers Cottage as a start for his kit bashing. He had also been working on the Sierra Leone 2-6-2T.
Mac Strong had been working on his layout Beacon Point, re-wiring it for DCC operation in preparation for the Bournville Exhibition on the 28th August.
Tim Williams had converted one of his Busch diesel locos to radio control with an onboard battery for ‘Insulation Lumber’. The run time for the loco was about 25 minutes and Tim was working on a charging point that could be incorporated within the track plan to mitigate this. He had also been 3D printing some low resolution figures.
Charlie Forbes had been adding finishing touches to some of the things shown in previous months, painting the 3 car railcar set, Campbelltown & Macrihanish coaches and bogie diesel locos, and fitting interiors into the railcar units.
