No, not describing the time it has taken since our last post (although that would also apply), but the fact that we managed to meet up in person in a larger room and correctly distanced.<\/p>\n

As the last meeting was at the beginning of March, this meant 6 months since our previous get-together and clearly some modelling has been done in the intervening period.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gareth, Dave, Simon, Alan and Nigel started and Peter joined soon after this picture was taken. The extra space allowed a degree of latitude with face coverings at the allotted work stations, but we masked up when moving around or getting a tad closer to peer at various models.<\/p>\n

Dave described a flexible chassis he was working on with fine piano wire as springing while Peter has been making further progress with Radio control.<\/p>\n

Simon has been busy with more wagons while Gareth has been his usual creative self with a couple of SECR’s finest.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Alan has been building the Association 08 shunter kit and was discussing refinements with Nigel. Everything lined up but needed a tad more play in the axles to get a free running chassis, so more a bit of fine tuning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nigel has been busy with Drws y Nant and had the signal box with him ostensibly to make some slates. However the general chat meant no progress was made there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The GWR Mogul is a 3D print from Atso Cad on top of one of the Association milled brass Manor chassis. Compare this to the scratch built version from a few years ago and it is a lot crisper. At least the running qualities will be predictable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also photographed was a cut and stretched 4MT 4-6-0 body created from a spare 2-6-0 item which Gareth donated to Nigel a while ago. Counter trades this month included some Farish spoke Wagon wheels.<\/p>\n

All in all a successful session with lots of ideas exchanged and plenty of room to stay safe.<\/p>\n
