It's pretty slow posting and opening up, sometimes, but a little patience is needed when it happens.
Cheers Pete.

For those who may have missed it we moved house in October and have been setting ourselves up in far west Cornwall for the past few weeks. Things are more or less as we want them now but modelling has had to shift from home to a clubroom which is a bit of a change for me.
The current layouts, Porthgarrow and Waddlemarsh, made the move with the former being more or less undamaged and (as it was built to be) transported in the back of the car. Waddlemarsh didn't come out nicely at all having been very much built in as part of the former bedroom workroom / library / model set-up. At one stage I was about to condemn it as beyond repair and even left two boards outside in the weather for a couple of weeks awaiting council collection.
A member of Twickenham & District MRC generously picked one up and had it stored in their clubroom for a while; the other was less exposed being outside on the back terrace of the old flat despite us having handed the keys back.
So all the boards finally reached Cornwall and are now awaiting my attention and TLC.
I also managed to lose the bookmark for this group (among others) during the move as the computer got a bit upset but that's an easy fix; however that did mean I wasn't getting any updates sent through.
Take care. Keep modelling.

Good to know your layouts finally got to Cornwall, after all the work you put in on them.
Must have been a bit stormy weather wise in your part of the country recently.

Packing has been underway for months, we have been in this house for over 25 years, and some preliminary electrical work was done on the layout to allow it to be broken down in its modules for transport.
This week will see the non-fixed items like rolling stock and buildings being boxed up.
And all this while we are trying to work full time.
Anyway, I’m still here and still checking in every now and then and, as always, this is my home railway forum.
Best wishes to all.

At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

Apologises for not posing for some time. Despite the best of intentions I have done very little on the layout, partly due to the fact that SWMBO is talking about downsizing which would mean the dismantleing of the whole thing.
I will try and remember to look in more often.
best wishes

Kevin hasn't posted since September last year.
I know Barry helped him out at one time, before he moved to Liverpool.

Much Murkle hasn't seen daylight in that time but things may be changing somewhat. I have some show invites for 2024 and I have plans to refresh some of the scenics before those shows and a new layout is being considered which will be a change of direction for me. More to come about that after Christmas.

I think your comment about the lack of activity since COVID goes for a lot of us.
The pandemic certainly changed the way many of us
live - not necessarily for the better in some cases.
Look forward to seeing what plans you have both with Much Murkle and the proposed new layout.
