The ChufferDuffers met here in Llechryd again yesterday, but for a daytime session, as our affiliated member Mike was making the trek down from Llanddeusant in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons to visit.
As a rare treat Colin dusted off one of his N gauge layouts and brought it along to give us a demo of what I suppose would be described as a shelf layout. He has promised an extension, and that he would think about showing his larger Layout at one of the local exhibitions (we noticed a flight of pink hued porcine objects passing overhead as he said that...)

Anyhow, we convened in the conservatory, as there was enough room for Teifi Gorge and Colins N gauge, as well as space for a work table, as 'work' was theoretically the idea behind ChufferDuffers meetings.

This is Colins setup:

And three be-spectacled recedeing hairlined individuals poring over it (There would have been four, but I was taking the photo!) Strange how similar we are - all over sixty, all wearing glasses, and all follically challenged. Hey-ho. Ce's la vie, etc...

Moving swiftly on, Pat brought along some show-and-tell. The saddle tank which has been featured in the last couple of Duffer posts, now with a completed cab and sporting a smart red livery:

The '70' tram loco, which last week your saw in two or three pieces, now put together and sporting a bit more detail:

And Pat's last offering, which was constructed a couple of weeks ago, but had somehow avoided the camera, this rather fine scratch built tank wagon, beautifully weathered and distressed:

My humble contribution was another building for the St Dogmaels end of the Teifi Gorge - this time a loosely (very loosely) modelled representation of the White Hart public house:

Both buildings, the pub and the mill, are yet to be properly sited and bedded in, and the electricity connected to the Inn.
Finally another affiliated member, Login Station Master Pete Towns is in the proccess of building a layout depicting the Lynton & Barnstable Railway, in 009 and to prototype scale.
Here you can see one side of the embroyo layout, which eventually will run around three sides of the wagon that used to house the Cardi-Bach museum:

And zooming in, here is a closer shot of the station:

As you can see Pete has quite a way to go, but the speed at which he gets things done, it will pay to 'watch this space' as the old hackneyed saying has it.

Soup, rolls and cheese for lunch, and some delicious walnut and raisin cake that Mikes partner Judith had kindly sent along for us to enjoy.
Thanks to Colin Pat and Mike for making it a most pleasant day.

Nos da,
Shaun.
