Had a great day at the Swansea show apart from there was to many on the WiFi the signal keeps dropping out so had to operate on the hand set. Hope today will be better.

There is no other way to go to Wales. I've got my passport ready.

Just a reminder that Feltham Road MPD will be at Swansea this weekend. It would great to answer all your questions on the layout.

Hi Ian. I'm taking Feltham Road as well. We are down the same row as you. Be a good Saturday night.

A small update on Bambridge. I made some trees to go behind the wall against the back scene from Seaform. I brushed PVA on the truck to give it strength then used a strong hold hair spray over the branch's then sprinkle scenic floc over the tree when dry I glue the tree behind the wall. On the platform by the goods shed Road I put a etched brass fence with Sankey Scenics advertising boards.

Hounslow sidings had a fantastic weekend at Penarth. And had lots of responses.

And a can of air freshener.

They are looking fantastic Ian. Looking forward meeting up at Exeter.

Had a fantastic day at Minehead show today with Bambridge showing work in progress. Ìi had lots of good remarks and on the sector plate and something different.

The update on Bambridge. The signals are working, I made up the wall to go infront of the houses with foam board and two layers of photo mount card half the height of the wall, i put them at the back of the wall to make the wall is if it is away from the houses. Then i put stone plasticard on the front of the wall. I then put some very small stones on the top of the wall these i got from Amazon they are used for the bottom of fish tanks. The houses are from Sankey Scenics and cut them out and glued them on the backscene with a glue stick. Then glued the wall into place. I will be taking Bambridge to Minehead show on the Saturday 1st June. Come and say hi

Update. I have made up the home sighnal and the two ground signals from MSE and waiting for servo motors to be installed. The ground signals. One on the left is a caution signal protecting the main line and the right is a shunt ground signal. The Stop signal has a ground signal for a shunt movement.

I am looking at Barnstaple Town Station.

Yes that would be fanastic. Its a shame im not not stopping over night as I am only an hour away from home.

Still more Photos. The bridge as the scenic break was made from photo mount card with stone plasticard with coping stones on top. The fiddle yard with the three cassettes. Another photo of the bridge. O I forgotten the end wall I have ut a mirror the so you can see the other side of the wall n the bridge. I forgotten to say the Ihave put a shee of 9mm ply on the base board first to bring the board to the hight of he cassettes. Well that has brought me up to date so fare. I have Bambridge at Minehead as work in progrees on the 1st June 2024
