Greetings all. 

Last Tuesday saw three of us meeting at Patrick's, for a convivial evening of food and wine, and possibly a modicum of railway content...

Colin and myself had little to contribute, Colin suffering from over-indulgence after a night at Browns in Laugharn celebrating Chas's wedding anniversary, and me reluctantly passing my eightieth. So, it was all down to Pat.

In the last post I showed some pics of Pats flower shop he constructed from a laser-cut kit. On Tuesday I had the chance to take some pictures of the front - so here they are:

This is the overall shot, and below are a couple of close-ups, with a pound coin for comparison:

Pats son Daniel, who I believe I have mentioned before, dabbles (very professionally) in 3D printing, and he came up with some vehicles in 2mm scale for Pat's American N gauge layout.

One of the items was a steam lorry:

Again with the ubiquitous coin for comparison.

Staying with Daniel, the previous Sunday happened to be Mothers Day, and in the past Daniel has given his mother, Mary, live orchids, which don't always last for too long. This year he went one better, and found an orchid plant made from Lego... consisting of several hundred pieces, it took Mary a couple of hours to put together - but a very impressive result!

 

 

 

A short post this week - tomorrow (Saturday 25th) we are exhibiting Pats 'Maes Y Gof' layout, together with the American N Gauge, at the Heritage Museum in Pembroke Dock. It's an early start, so off to bed for an early night!

We finish with a video of the Station Masters L & B layout featuring two of his loco's in tandem.

Nos da,

Shaun.
