Still quiet hereabouts and for good reason. The main is the finishing of the Peco epic (of which more later) but also for the finishing and testing of the arm-twist 009 layout Seething. This built purely to fulfil the wishes of Mrs. F. and thereby generating a weekend in sunny Suffolk. Another of my four point wonders and built mostly with stuff that was in stock at the predictable 45″x12″ scenic.
The post-match analysis proves that all went more or less according to plan; that is, one layout delivered to Beccles, a splendid day was had by all including Mrs. F who, in a delightful spot of karma got roped into catering duties. Old friends to chat to including a few that I could have stayed here for and not least 009 grandee Mr. Thornton who made the not inconsiderable trip from the western valleys. The final act in this three act play was someone (without name) who parted with hard cash and at 4pm loaded the layout into a car and moved swiftly toward Great Yarmouth. Thus, my job is complete: Mrs. F. happy, exhibition manager happy, new owner happy and self a tiny bit richer. Now to get a final coat of paint on the layout’s bigger brother and remove to Devon.
