Clyre Valley 009.

 At Wimbrorne exhibition was the Clyne Valley Railway- Cornish narrow gauge.
As shown in these few photos it is a lovely layout and full of inspiration.

Replica Railways 62ft Mk 1 suburban 00 Gauge.

 When we were at Romsey MRE, Replica Railways had a set of parts to make a 62ft Suburban coach both brake and 2nd.
Both have been made and await suitable numbering.
Another pair of coaches suitable for Woodlands.

Down on Woodentop Farm. 009 Narrow Gauge.

Well-many will be mystified by this title.
 Back in the days when I was a lad there was a programme in the BBC series 'Watch with Mother' called 'The Woodentops'.
One of the puppet cast was 'Spotty Dog', a dalmation. So Woodentops Farm it has to be.
Meanwhile, below,  a suitably suited farmer is checking on his beehives.
The figure is from Penduke Models who attended the recent Wimborne Model Railway Exhibition

Having a chat. 009 Narrow Gauge.

During a lull in proceedings the staff and locals have time for a chat.
The porter must have tired arms.

Gaugemaster Walkabout Controller.

This is the original type of Gaugemaster Walkabout controller. The case is longer than the present offering- indeed the present type has the same case as the Combi , HH and Walkabout.
Having the previous type of HH as well, it appears that the original type is more robust and slightly better operationally.

I would be interested to hear of others opinions and experiences.

3MM Scale WESTFEST.
