I said later today, didn't I... I tell fibs.

It's now Friday - five days later. The Woolen Mill Exhibition went down very well - organised by the Carmarthen Modellers Club, there were several exquisite examples of peoples imagination and talent.
One outstanding diorama was this one of a cricket match:


But the main attraction of course was Patricks 7mm narrow gauge. Pat's wife Mary did the honours for Saturday, while I was the relief man on Sunday.
Yet to have a name, it generated a lot of interest, together with the N gauge Western themed Mini layout.
Here is the 7mm:


With the N gauge next to it:


Sitting on top of the layout are the 7mm scale figures of Pat and myself that we had made by 'ModelU'.
Pat has started painting them, but ran out of time, so they are not quite complete:




The likeness of the one on the right to Patrick is really impressive. The strange stance was taken up as it is supposed to represent Pat as an engine driver on one of the 7mm locos.









One last picture - behind the scenes at the Mill:



Our next outing is up to Llwyncelyn, just outside Aberaeron, for the West Wales Model Railway Exhibition, organised by the Aeron Valley Railway Society. That will be this Sunday, August 13th.
We are just taking Crymmych Arms to this one, as Martyn is a bit pushed for space.

The following Sunday will see us at the Midway Motors Classic and Vintage Show, just outside Crymych, where the Cardi-Bach Society have been invited to participate, so Crymmych Arms will appear once again, together with Patrick and Mary's classic 'stretched' MGB.

Hope to see some of you at one or other of the venues.
Hwyl fawr,

Shaun.
