Busy weekend for a couple of Duffers. First of all on Saturday afternoon it was Coracle Racing on the Teifi at Cilgerran. After the professionals, the public were invited to have a go.
Never one to turn down a challenge, our intrepid Chufferduffer Patrick elected to take part in the novice race...
Sorry the pictures are low-res, but they were copied in a hurry. Here is Pat in the line-up:
He did well for first time out, and finished mid-field:
The following day, Sunday saw us at Midway Motors Classic and Vintage show, in Crymych.
Pat and Mary brought the MG along, and Emyr and I put up a limited Cardi-Bach display, together with the Crymmych Arms layout.
Pat left Mary to attend to the MG affectionardos, and helped me present the Layout. We sorely miss our third member:
"What class of pannier is that?" --Dont know. If Colin was here he could tell you...
"Is that a Bachmann or a Grafar chassis?" --Dont know. If Colin was here he could tell you...
I didn't take any pics of the layout, but as part of the Cardi-Bach display a Gentleman had brought along a model he has made of the 'John Owen', the first Loco to run on the line.
On the modeling front, I have added a derelict cottage to one of the hillsides on Dyffryn-y-Tallau:
No Chuffers tomorrow, as we are off to visit Ken Rathbone, a friend of Colins who has an extensive 00 gauge layout in a custom built shed, that he is going to operate for us. Pics may follow in a day or so.
Hwyl,
Shaun.
