Our Group met at Barsham Village Hall on the 8th August and we had three new visitors on the day plus “Merlin” the Welsh Collie who was well-behaved. We were glad to be inside as the weather outside was rainy and stormy. We now have some plans to put on an exhibition in Beccles, at Blyburgate Hall next March. Here are some photos from the meeting:-

Manning Wardle 0-6-2T “Wenhaston” and Sharp Stewart 2-4-2 “Southwold” from Stewart’s 4mm collection. The tank sides have recently been repainted after damage from bubble-wrap. (Note: not standing on correct gauge track – as I didn’t have any 12mm track) A recent H0n3 acquisition by Richard, a Colorado & Southern 2-6-0 which runs very well.
Views of “Staines Barn” (009) also by Richard. The converted Ford Model T brings in another load of sugar beet and is tipping the load into mainline wagons at the wharf.On Chris’s table, he was working on removing alternate sleepers from 009 Mainline turnouts to improve appearance for a planned O9 layout.
