Ben Powell had been steadily working on his latest pair of Bagnall Meyers. The first has an open cab back and was awaiting a coat of primer before export for overseas service. The other is for Ben’s industrial layout and was awaiting it’s valve gear.
Peter Hardy brought along his Southwold 2-4-0T, now largely finished and named ‘Helen’. This ran on Peter’s test track hauling Peter’s lates wagon in the form of a mobile crane made from an N-brass crane mounted on a scratch built bogie flat wagon.
David Wilcox brought along his latest layout that he had started building on the Monday using a spare shelf. “Dolserau” is a station of the freelance Gregennen Railway in Merionethshire, and David ran a selection of stock on the evening.
