It's on the Pelion peninsular in Greece, runs up to Milie. Not particularly outstanding, as it has that lumbering great diesel pulling it, but fairly picturesque. Anyhow, thats nothing to do with chufferduffering.
Congregated at Colin's gaff last night - main item on the agenda was to try and set down on paper the track plan for Crymmych Arms, our next layout project. It wasn't easy, as we are trying to make it a continuous run, instead of our usual 'end-to-end', incorporate the marked curve in the platform that is so noticable at Crymmych, have the viewing side looking over the goods sidings towards the station building, and get it on a board that will fit in a car. (We are desperately trying to avoid the word 'compromise')
This is the start of it:
Interest soon waned!
Charles is contemplating the latest Herrington masterpiece - you saw it in the last post in its raw state - since then it has had a trip to the paint shop:
Having found that trying to sort out the track plan was too taxing, we trundled up the stairs to Colins modeling room, where he had set up a section of his N gauge layout so that we could test-run the locos that Pete Towns has kindly donated towards the Crymmych layout. Two Panniers and a 45 Prairie, all three of which were prototypical of the Cardi-Bach line. All three ran perfectly, so we repaired to the lounge and celebrated the successes (well, the locos ran...) of the evening in the time-honoured fashion.
More next week.
