It proved very successful, for details visit Peters FB page https://www.facebook.com/AfternoonTeaAtTheStation/ you might have to copy and paste, as I can't get the link to behave properly.
You may see some of the Chuffers photos posted there, and vise-versa, as we share...
All the layouts ran throughout the two days, although we lost power to Cardigan late on Saturday, but repaired it before starting again on Sunday. Beautiful weather, but much too hot to be inside playing trains!
Lot of people showing interest in the layouts, particularly the actual history of the stations that we portray.
We had one fan in particular who captivated us on Saturday - he liked the layouts so much that he returned on Sunday, and was close to tears when he finally had to go. We have made him an honary member of the Cardi-Bach Society, as he is too young to join the Chuffer-Duffers.
His name is Lewis, and here he is directing Pat on the operations he wants carried out:
Colin came along on Saturday to provide relief support, and Thomas did stirling duty manning the controllers on Sunday.
Also on Sunday this interloper was spotted passing through Boncath Station:
Pulling a rake of composite coaches and a horse box in Southern Livery it turned out to be a Drummond 4F 0-6-0. How it arrived on the Cardi-Bach line remains a mystery...
Couple of other Photos of it:
(We think that Mike from Llandeusant may know something about it.)
Next layout date for us is exhibiting the 'Teifi Gorge' at the Welsh National Woolen Museum in Drefach Velindre on July 26/27 (a Thursday and Friday Carmarthen Modellers Exhibition)
Selamat tinggal,
Shaun.
