0 gauge Cringle Street Goods debut.

 Cringle Street Goods finally made it's debut at the Poole Model railway Exhibition on the 20th October 2019.

As a first exhibition it went very well. A few things need addressing, mostly uncoupling magnet location.

It all went together well and, more importantly, came apart at the end!

Thanks are due to my fellow operator, Nigel, who tolerated a new layout operation extremely well.

Several readers of various social media came and said hello and several spent time to discuss the possibility of 0 Gauge in a small space .

All the locos and stock behaved themselves, there were a couple of issues of coupling heights which had been caused during transportation.

The one annoying thing was the loading gauge which had broken in transit, the 8750 Pannier's cabtop handrail caught it !

In all a successful debut which proved you don't need a huge space to model 0 Gauge.

A few alterations to do and couplings to adjust but at the moment I am preparing Hillbrow, one of my 009 layouts, for Rail-ex Taunton next weekend!
