[ Guests cannot view attachments ] Hi,

It is the time of the year that this species of bird flies South for a few weeks, tomorrow afternoon to be exact, I’ve been doing press-ups all week! Its been a little boring doing work on the new layout; six of the base boards for the curved track have been assembled and the legs with their fittings have been made for all eight boards.

I have also been working on a wheel clamp for the trailer I couldn’t find one that was made for such small wheels so bought the smallest I could get and modified it.  The clamp is as much for stopping the trailer moving on a slope as being security the other layout's trailer is large and heavy enough to have brakes.

So that’s it until December when we will be back for some weeks.
