If you are really-really good!!

Always wanted one of these.

As a reward for giving up smoking- two months now- the family presented me with a Heljan Type 33 'Crompton'. This will eventually run on the new 4mm version of East Boldre which is being built side by side with the 3mm one- watch this space!!!

Diesel Railcar.

Nigels single unit Railcar is coming on nicely- the motor bogie he created being more that sufficient to pull itself along.
Hopefully more info at our next meeting.

3mm Society SR N Class 2-6-0

 Back into stock is this kit which is whitemetal and brass construction with the opportunity to produce several variants.
This will be part of the stock for East Boldre, together with some relevant rolling stock already started.

What have I been up to?

 Appologies for the break in posting, due entirely to having been away at work and holidays.
These pictures were taken at the Hill of Down in Co. Meath, Ireland.
The railway is on one side, the canal on the other with a Pub in the middle.
Peace and quiet occasionally disturbed by waterfowl or a passing DMU .

We had a lovely time in Minehead!!

 Well we did until most of the pubs shut at 11pm on the Friday night. This was the first time in years that we actually heard a time bell at 10.45 and shouts to get out just after 11 !!. Even the escapees from Butlitz were miffed that they had to return early.
Still that aside we enjoyed a terriffic time, the accomodation and breakfast was excellent.
Took the opportunity to walk around Minehead Station early morning so a few uncluttered pics are attached.
The exhibition flew by with much talking and quite a few 3mm Society members took the time and trouble to come and see us.
Would we go again- you bet!!
