Hi Alan

After the last show the OSR hub was very hot when I took the trailer back to storage. I had to have new calipers, discs, pads and h/brake shoes across the back axle. The OSR h/b shoe lining had become detached so I was lucky it didn't turn and jam the hub totally.OhMyGod

The plan at the moment is to have just the inner sidings on CS2 to have the steamers parked blowing off and whistlingLOL

BUT - you never know - the outside loop is totally isolated so may be turned into a digi festBigGrin

Hi all

Just back from the show. We had an excellent show with no running faults whatsoeverBigGrin

There was a great deal of interest and some wonderful comments about the layout and the M product.

This was a great little show and Alan helped a great deal - helping negotiate the tight entrance for my boards and supplying the M dealer signalThumpUp

I also have to thank my two main assistants, Glenn and Bren. Well done chaps - a brilliant dayThumpUp
A special thanks for the digi box and the smokers on the sidings and keeping them going all day. Alan also brought a smoker and the disco carWoot.

Photos and videos will follow

I don't exactly share the Marklin taste in German Techno Funk or whatever the stuff that comes on the card with the coach is either.

But your photo of the signal in the previous post got it midway between stop and go ... BigGrin maybe that's why the gremlins on in the inner track ... Laugh

Oh, and yes that is me in the orange jacket in the first pic.

I was too tired to upload some shots last night, I'll see if I can get to it tomorrow.

Good to see you got home safely.
