To Patricks last night, where we enjoyed a DVD on steam locomotive driving, this time it was concentrating on the final group of BR steam engines, and comparing the footplate conditions and operations.
Colin was on hand to answer to most of the many questions we other three threw at him.
We are now fully clued up on steam injectors, their principal and usage...
Patrick has been working hard at his new 7mm narrow gauge layout, yet to be named. (the scale is 7mm to the foot, and runs on 00 gauge track)
Pictured below :
It is basically a tail chaser, with a small fiddle yard concealed at the back. DC controlled with wire-in-tube point operation. Pictured below is the vertical boiler loco, and the two carriages, which can be seen center left, in the picture above.
Everything has been made from kits or scratch built.
Work on the Crymmych Arms layout is continuing, albeit rather slowly... in fact nothing to report, as no progress has been made worth reporting!
I'll finish with a shot of the Rabbit Warren - a few more buildings have been added, platform lights, and a bit more greenery.
No chuffers next week, as it is the monthly Cardi-Bach meeting.
Talk to you all later.
Hwyl fawr,
Shaun.
