How odd - The blog had 23 hits today from the old colonies across the pond... and I hadn't written anything since a week or more ago.
Ah well. Stranger things happen (like Trump getting elected, but we won't dwell on that)

We met here last Tuesday - Charles and I talked electronics while the other two ripped up some of the track on Crymmych Arms layout, as it was causing de-railments, so to cure it they relaid a new piece of line, and now all is well.
For show-and-tell Pat had brought along a Rail-bus that he made up from a cut-down Kato chassis and a 3D printed body. The paint was still wet, so the pics are a little bit glossy still.

Inside the bus there are passengers and a driver:

He also put together some white metal N guage fire buckets and a lamp oil hut that Pete Towns had kindly donated for Crymmych:

On the layout side of things, the point control panel for the station is now in place with two points so far hooked up to the 'wire-in-tube' operation, and the DPDT switches are also wired up to the points to ensure continuity of power when a loco crosses the points. A problem that has popped up on Teifi Gorge a few times.

Thats about it for this session. On the real railway front, Emyr, the Chairman of the Cardi-Bach Society gave a talk and a guided walk on the old tunnel on the Clynderwen to Rosebush Railway line. The tunnel has historic significance as it was used as a practise site during WWII for Barnes Wallace's bouncing bomb.
An excellent talk, attended by over 150, and at least half that number took part in the 3 mile trek to the tunnel. Colin and I went along for the craic, and a very enjoyable time it was. Worth repeating!

The Talk, in Maenclochog School hall:

And inside the tunnel:

That all for this session, meeting at Chas' next week.
Hwyl fawr.
