Mornin' all!
Constructive night last night - Colin and Charles came round with the new turntable for St Dogmaels, as I had butchered the previous one in my vain attempts to get it to work. Thankfully Colin forgave me, so I steered clear last night and left the fitting to he and Charles.
Success crowned their efforts:






We put two of the boards together and had a practise run - everything worked just as it should!






Some additions to St Dogmaels - the Abbey Hotel behind the station, and a coaling platform by the engine shed. Fencing and undergrowth added to the hillside, and a section cut away for the road to disappear around...





Charles has been busy constructing a mechanism to operate the crane that sits in Cardigan goods yard. Using a miniature electric motor and gear box, and turning aluminium on his lathe he came up with this masterpiece:

To be mounted under Cardigan layout board, belt drive will turn the large pulley wheel, with the crane above. The on-off-on sprung switch will allow momentary movement in either direction.
More pictures when it is fitted!
