I’ve been pondering. theres no compelling reason to go, apart from catching up chums.

The only stuff I actually need is plasticard and solvent. I've still got piles of other stuff bought at Telford and Kettering in previous years I've yet to use / build.

It is good to catch up with folk though.

Yes, I'll try to be by the test track at 13:00. I am a white middle-aged bloke with glasses and little hair. So you will all find me easily. If I take the Y14 along I might well be clutching a r/c controller

I'll swing by and spend a few quid too...

Thanks for that. I was quietly hoping Hobby Holidays was going - has he retired now?

Hi Chris,

Enjoying your build by the way.

Phil continues to trade on line but has now stopped going to exhibitions. He's advised me that he'll now be concentrating on wire, tube and nuts and bolts sort of stuff. In fact quite a few lines of his other stock is being sold at good prices so it may be worth giving his web site a check.

That doesn't narrow it down much at most model railway shows, never mind O Gauge events!!

 

[Alan]

Sounds like all of the O gauge build members.

 

[chigley]

how about little fat bloke with a big parting and red rucksack

[Yorkshire Dave]

I thought rucksacks at model railway events were de rigueur

 

[chigley]

I only carry it Dave, but i know what you mean.
