Well, here we are again. It's been a couple or three weeks since the last post. I think the last one ended on us having to decide on Merlot or Shiraz... Verdict was tied, so we drunk them both. Next time it is going to be questioning the merits of Central Spain or the Douro region of Portugal...

European flavour to the heading photo at the moment. Any one got any idea? you can post an answer in 'comments' below. It's narrow gauge, still in operation, though the motive power has since been upgraded (I took this photo back in 1998. Kodachrome then, none of your digital nonsense...)

Back to the here and now. Good weekend - Colin and I exhibited Teifi Gorge and Patricks Baby at the Woolen Mill in Drefach Felindre on Saturday. A very pleasant day, not overly busy, but that gave us time to talk to several nice people, including ChufferDuffer Charles and his wife Louise, who called in on the way home. Also a very pleasant couple from Cwmcou - I forgot to get your contact details, so if you would care to e-mail me at < shaun.tynant AT btinternet.com > I can send you details of the Cardi-Bach Society.

Pictured below is the TGR, ready to meet its public, and below that Pats Baby (yet to have a name)

Colin, of the Herrington Light Industries fame:

Has been busy building a new loco. He brought it along to the expo to give it a trial run prior to it going into the paint shop.

We do have a movie of this, but I have just spent the last 90 minutes endeavouring to get it downloaded...
Got it to youtube, but then hit a stone wall.
Fed up now.

So that Pat wont feel left out, here is an archive picture of him adjusting things on one of the layouts:

 

And lastly another from the archives, Cardigan station:

I'll try and get video uploading sorted by next week.

TTFN (for those who are old enough to remember...)
