While the Winter has been here, the layout has been down in the shed cold and alone....
However I did manage to set the layout up a few weeks back for some tests and photographs and sadly discovered the platform surface has warped. So that means it shall need completely replacing when the weather improves... Hopefully I will plaster it as apposed to re-card it. This should make it last longer....
On the exhibition front, the Shoeburyness Model Railway Club have been in contact with me and are looking interested to have my layout at their exhibition this year, which falls on the 20th and 21st November. Forms are being filled in and sorted right now!
As for the Shenfield/Mid Essex Exhibition, forms have been filled and sent off and I hope to hear back from them soon. This years exhibition should be falling on 19th September if I remember rightly...
Don't forget about the STEPNEY DOWN website! Photos, information and a lot of fictional stuff about the railway is there, along with updates on exhibition news etc.
Hope you all had a great start to the new year.... I know I have!
