I'll bring the Welsh cakes.

Morning all, It's not a bad line up but I'm intrigued by layout 3........ And our very own Wiggers has Yelverton there so between us there are a few familiar faces to frighten the children. Rob.

Get the kettle on.

Next outing for a layout from Chateau Sheep is to Nailsea. For list of layouts, traders etc.......... https://www.nailsea-district-mrc.co.uk/events/ Rob

Hey Corbs ( @Corbs )could we see a SE&CR Gunpowder van at some point I wonder ? Diagram plucked from An Illustrated History of Southern Wagons-Vol 3: SECR. ( OPC ) Rob.

Wot the good Cap'in sed. R

Sorry Mike have to disagree. One's perception of colour is of course subjective but I'm glad I'm not in the market for a BR black specimen. Poor effort on Dapol's part.

Hi @Dicky L You need to remove that image as it contains third party bank account details and this is a public forum. Rob

Or to put it another way.... Polperran Perfectly Prepared Point Panel Prop Prevents P!ss Poor Propping. Rob

You wouldn't want to say that too loudly in certain situations.........just saying.....

Looking forward to seeing @2ManySpams new W.R BLT. I knew he'd see the light.

In what is the first layout feature, the spot light falls on Old Parrock to open the batting. This is a lovely Cameoesque slice of pre-groupery created by Paul Rhodes. Featuring some quite splendid scratch built buildings plonked amidst wonderfully bucolic scenery, it's a very fitting backdrop to a rather nice selection of LB&SCR locos and rolling stock.( with occasional incursions by the SE&CR ) A few photos then..........

Morning all, Things have been a bit quiet as of late but to reassure all, work is ongoing with SWAG. We, dare I say it, have another good and varied selection of layouts once again this year presented within the usual informal and convivial surroundings. With SWAG now a matter of a little over ten weeks away, there is much tweaking going on in the background. The good news is that it does look as if it will fit..........ish. Rob.

I'll await some clarity but it appears 714 is separate to the rest of the centre headcode batch which are still a number of months away......but of course happy to be corrected on that. Rob

Morning, Glad to hear the Zimo decoders were as successful for you as they were for me. Good bit of kit. With regard to the lost screw, I may be able to assist if yours remains on the run. Rob

Tidy

This is lovely, Will. You've provided some much needed inspiration for me to get going on my own slice of SE&CR ness.......... Rob.

Any plans for 15106, Brian ? Rob

Here's a comparison between an Accurascale Manor and the Dapol Mogul. It's the best I can manange but the light in the shop is not the best. Rob

Morning Brian, Thank you. Perhaps we need to meet for a 'chat with beer'..............and I can bring you up to speed. Thanks Jonathan. Though I have several layouts pencilled in along with a few demos and traders, I won't be looking at this until at least June/July due to my pre-existing commitments to organising SWAG and my own layout commitments to a number of shows this year. Therefore, any formal approaches to any other organisations will not be made until at least July. Rob.

That's abominable.

Blue, Luvvy, is so the new black...........

I’m not in a position to confirm or deny if that may or may not have been the case.....................

Why is it when I order my copy from Simon that I cannot resist a quick 'just in case' look elsewhere on the website and end up buying a book..........? Puzzled of Cardiff.
