Firstly, thanks to all those who helped at the recent exhibition at Reading. Abbotstone is a large layout to take anywhere for one day. This is not something we plan to do too often, but the effort this last hot weekend was worth it with many nice comments made about the layout and stock.
OO gauge Matters
Thanks are due to the 4mm members who helped at the show and helped with running sessions prior to Reading, resulting in slow progress on Itchen Vale.
EM gauge Matters
Point work is now mainly built and with baseboards corked, work will soon begin laying the track
O gauge Matters
Work will soon begin on rewiring Itchen Bottoms’ baseboards. These will connect to the new enigma built by Jeff.
Running sessions will continue on the first Wednesday of each month using Abbotstone and the Fiddle yard.
Other Business
Details of the Summer Party have been handed to members.
