Good evening all. First off, we had a Cardi-Bach meeting two weeks ago, the first in over eighteen Months. It was held at the 'Bont', as the Heritage Center in Login is still in a state of upheaval. The Bont was most welcoming - it was as if we had never been away!

Not a big turnout, but enough members to make the evening worthwhile. Next meeting will be at the Bont once again, on Tuesday November the 9th, 7:30pm - theme for the evening will be Welsh Railways, on DVDs and any other media we can come up with.

On to Chuffer stuff...

A couple of pictures of the state of play down in Login at the moment showing a rough idea of how the new layout will look:

Two of the sections on the opposite side are Cardigan Junction and a cut down representation of Whitland, with just the Up line and the Cardigan branch depicted.

The signal box at the junction is missing its staircase, which Colin kindly made, but I have yet to attach!

Staying with Colin, he has made quite a bit of progress on his Fairground Moon Rocket ride, as can be seen below:

In the foreground you can just see the start he has made on a couple of the rocket cars that will be circling around.

Going back to the Heritage Center for a brief moment, Graham Ashton, of Jeffreyston in South Pembs sadly passed away some weeks ago, and his widow, Wendy, contacted Peter and Dawn to see if they would be interested in the model of a Victorian coach that Graham had built - ostensibly the Royal Coach, complete with Herself and Albert and the children.

Suffice to say it now has pride of place in the Center :

 

 

 

The roof lifts up to display the interior, with the Queen, Albert, and the children playing with a model train on a coffee table:

Lots more detail, but you need to see it for yourselves, rather than my pictures, which don't do it nearly enough justice.

Moving on to Chessboard House in Cilgerran, Pats Tudor terrace is now in place, with illuminated windows and Flowering Wisteria...

What isn't showing up too well for the camera are two of the windows, behind which are two ladies caught in the act of disrobing (I am led to believe... Though it looks to me like they are touting for some kind of nefarious business)

The wisteria shows up well though!

 

 

We'll finish with a quick video clip of Pat's layout in operation.

 

 

 

Thank you for your indulgence.
