Good afternoon everyone.

We don't have a great deal to report on the modelling front, but things are happening elsewhere. It looks very much like Tynant has sold, so I have been busy packing stuff up and taking things into a storage container in readiness for a move. Hopefully to a smaller property in Pentrecagal.

I did manage to start building some stations for the new 2mm Cardi-Bach layout. C-B aficionados will recall that three stations were built to the same GWR pattern - Cilgerran, Boncath, and Llanfalteg.

Luckily I still had the plans for Cilgerran, so it was just a matter of scaling them down and printing the templates.

Results so far:

and a bit closer:

Still quite a way to go with detailing, but there is the whole of winter to get through...

Keeping on the new C-B theme, over in Login Pete the wood butcher has been doing sterling work in the museum alterations.

The left-hand side is now starting to take shape, as these three shots bear witness:

 

 

 

It just needs the Gandy dancers to set to and start the new Whitland to Cardigan layout!

A quick visit to our Chairmans garage last week to see what progress has been made on the Series I Land Rover.

The front wings and outer panels were out in the sun to harden off the first undercoat prior to getting a second:

While inside the garage it was really impressive. The grill yet to go on, and the bonnet still to be tackled, but all the mechanics are working, and it is really looking the part:

 

Finally, this week's Chufferduffers - this week we met at Pats, and before settling down to DVDs and refreshments, we were treated to half an hour of 0 gauge operations in Pats new railway room.

Great strides have been made on the scenic corner:

 

 

And below the village are the tunnel mouths:

 

 

 

We'll finish this post with a couple of unedited video clips of Pats trains strutting their stuff:

 

One of a working snow-plough (without any snow, unfortunately)

That's about all for this week chaps...

Cheerio,

Shaun.
