Finally, its all in the car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There was a time when we’d be at a narrow gauge show every month and the whole show packing circus worked to a routine. We do a lot less now and the 7mm NGA in June was our last.<\/p>\n

I’m well out of practice!<\/p>\n

I’d forgotten the disruption to normal operations a show causes particularly as I am taking the test track\/demo layout. Like any flat surface it quickly becomes a shelf!\u00a0 It first, and only other, outing was to the Trent Valley Group Modelling event in January. \"\"<\/a>I promised then I do a load of upgrades but only completed some, like connectors on the wires instead of chock blocks this week.<\/p>\n

In the original plan there would have been a lot more track on it than just the NG7-14 circuit its got so far. Maybe, I’ll add that as I haul it back into the model room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There’s also been some frantic activity to get the development chassis for Lilla presentable for the show.<\/p>\n

Its short notice with the show being tomorrow but the poster is below<\/strong><\/p>\n
