OK you lot, you've all had a rest by now after the ALSM show at Dereham so on to the next meeting.

Usual time, usual place. Also as usual our excellent host and hostess , Ralph and Janet.

Will the beardless one appear this time I wonder? :twisted:

I'm sure that there's something in the club rules that prohibits such actions............. :wink:

I'm planning on being there, all things being equal

Hmmmm, so what do I do now with the Club test track that's sitting in my van? :shock:

So the plans to build a Club Loco are a non-starter? I've got a Lister D for the power unit :wink:

Barry
Would the Lister be any use on 16.5mm track or are you going up to EM gauge :?:

Over hang my boy :!:

Ralph

More_Cats_Than_Sense · Postby **More_Cats_Than_Sense** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 7:27 pm

I think it would probably work on dual track G9, if the tracks were placed 3' apart :mrgreen:

Rockley Bottom · Postby **Rockley Bottom** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 8:22 pm

We could build it on the club layout.. And get Jon to build a spur point :roll:

Ralph

Jon Randall · Postby **Jon Randall** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 8:26 pm

Gentlemen,
Non-club layout please :wink:

Rockley Bottom · Postby **Rockley Bottom** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 9:51 pm

Sorry Jon

Ralph

Barry,
For the non-club test track how about a container terminal on one side :?:

I thought the one at Gt Yarmouth where I've been working could be a possibility.

You can just make out my Freelander in front of it :roll:

Gauge is approx 22.5m :shock:

So at 1/24 scale you could also run the Lister on it :wink:

I think I'd use the Felixstowe ones, I've been up on one of them

At 1:22.5 the gauge works out at 1 metre, I think we could handle that :mrgreen:

Bit small for my Gn15 scale... You know what they say about my ideas on Gn15 :roll:

Hi all

Good to see you all again, it felt a long time since the Dereham show.

After Barry had given us a round-up of the comments made at the show I am sure that with a little fine tuning Gn15 presentation will be even more eye catching.
Thanks again to Barry for transportation and doing all the arangements.
Smithie's Yard is on the work bench for a few minor changes and an upgrade of some of the details, so I hope it will be more interesting to the public to view.

Ralph
