Boards completed!

At last the three boards for the 3mm version of East Boldre are complete. Just the choclate blocks to attach to hold the leg stays- must pop out to the shed.
So- Teignford is due to come to our next meeting to have the lighting worked out- have the electrics, just nothing to hang them on.

Something for the weekend?

Have Been meaning to make an end board to transport Teignmouth in the car. As it was the 

layout could get damaged- or driving very carefully or slow.

So- a few minutes work with a saw, hammer and a drill saw a piece of ply cut then holes drilled to accomodate the protruding securing bolts. The hammer? Well you just beat the wood against the ply and that shows where the holes should go- works too!!

1. View from the car park- shows how short this platform really was- maybe a layout idea?

Dorset Group June 2015 Meeting.

My thanks must go to Nigel for sending me these
 images of work progressing on Swanage .
I was unable to attend due to my youngest daughters wedding- she was the one responsible for my introduction to 3mm.
By the looks of it this is a Worsley Works 2-6-4t chassis- a stalwart of the branch in later BR days.

Next meeting will see more work plus Teignford needs some lights for it's trip to Warley so a busy next meeting.

Also I need to redo the frame keeping the boards apart in the car.

Hornby said they were considering TT!

I tried to get a consencus of opinion on this subject.

Several who should know better were quite insulting.

Please read this and I would appreciate some apologies- but I doubt they have the guts!
