Humble apologies everyone for not posting for a couple of weeks. Have been rather busy though with real life, rather than the ethereal world of model railways...
No matter - what has happened in the last Month? Pete Towns telephoned - 'Any chance of Login layout being available for September 30th? - S4C would like to do a quick clip on Login.'
For those unaware (i.e. outside of our great Principality) S4C is the Welsh Language TV channel - and to appear on it is GREAT!... well, quite an event, anyway.
So I quickly tidied things up, Annie got out the paint brushes, and we managed to get Login presentable.
Pete came round and picked it up - last pics of Login:









Consequently the room is now bare! (apart from Cardigan, which Colin and I carted up from the garage ready for remedial work next week)

The TV boys turned up to do the Program on Login and the Cardi-Bach, which went like a dream. Emyr, our Society Chairman had arranged for several old C-B employees to come along for a chat, and there was lots of coverage of  everyone and everything involved.
We are just waiting to hear when it will be screened. Hopefully it will be on Iplayer/ITVhub - not sure what company covers S4C!

Since then we have attended another Model Railway Exhibition - this time it was the Carmarthen '0' Gauge Modelling Clubs Expo in Bronwydd Arms. Colin, Pat and I took along Teifi Gorge, and Pats N gauge western themed mini-layout, to show the range of size that you can model in.This is Pencader MRC's '0'gauge layout:





Which rather dwarfed our offering that was at the side:

 

Pats tiny Western layout just squeezed into the gap!
We had a great time, and met lots of interesting, and interested people! Sadly though very few were under the age of sixty...
 

 
I forgot to mention, may many thanks to Mike from Llangadog for coming along to see us - I dont think he has missed one of our exhibits in the last three years. Sadly he didn't have time to operate for us at this visit - maybe the next one at the Woolen Mill on the 22nd!
 
We meet here in Llechryd on Tuesday, and the big discussion, apart from choosing between Merlot or Shiraz is what to do next? Crymmych Arms in N gauge has been mentioned... 

ATB
Shaun.
