Westfest 2011 Part Deux.

 Following on from the last post- here we see the exhibitors that provided an opportunity to see how various modelling processes are carried out.
This see's Peter White, our Wheelwright, showing some of the excellent locos he has built and the way that the wheels and valve gear are fitted.

 Dereck Bartlett adding some finishing touches to another of his 3mm Buses. In shot are some of the many kits made by him. Many examples have been found by Dereck, not necessarily meant for our scale.

 Our Honary guest Tom Rayner-The Weatherman.
Tom kindly agreed to weather some of the members wagoms to show that his methods are suitable for all scales.
Tom so enjoyed himself that he is to attend a future Dorset Group meeting to enable us to follow his methods and weather our own rolling stock.

 Bob Brown is shown concentrating on construction of a building for his next layout- sorry Bob- can't remember the name!
He also had examples of loco's and rolling stock built by him and the methods he uses.

Finally today, Trevor Cooke is building a replica of Bodmin (GWR) in 3mm scale.
Here we see the shell of the model station building and the roof with chimneys added.
The plans he is working from are shown on the left of the picture.
Trevor has built up a wealth of information to enable him to make a near exact replica of the station and its environs.
