Hi everyone.

Not a great deal to report on the Chuffering front, as we are only meeting once a fortnight until this virus thingy sorts itself out.

We last met ten days or so ago here at llechryd, when we put in a constructive hour or so working on the Cardigan layout. Fixing the turntable, which was acting up a bit, and tidying up the wiring and connections between the two boards.

Colin sorted out the T/T whilst Pat and I got on with the wiring. We also were able to box the nethers in when we had finished to protect the circuits and connections when the layout gets moved around.

Colin produced a turntable that he had made in N gauge ready for the re-vamped Cardi-Bach display:

While I rehoused the doohicky that Charles had made to control sound effects, and also gave it a better connecting harness:

As is our usual practise, after an exhausting hour of labour we repaired to the dining room for DVDs, Youtube nonsense and a plate of pasta.

Pat has just tried a pickled jalepeno pepper...

I told you in a previous post that we had plans afoot to change things around in the Cardi-Bach Museum, over at Login. Last Thursday I went over to see Pete, and together we got stuck in...

We took the tops off of the units, and then emptied them prior to re-locating them against the right hand wall - not the easiest of tasks, as they were all screwed together...

In the end we separated them into ones and twos and eased them across:

 

 

before putting the plywood sheets back on top and then securing everything firmly in place.

After a little bit of tidying up, we were quite pleased with our four hours labour:

Next week we tackle the other side!... (he says glibly)

Thats it for this one - next Wednesday we are meeting at Pats, so there could be some 0 gauge action!

Keep your masks on,

Shaun.
