Some more exhibition emails have been sent off and I am awaiting their response.
In the meantime, my Railway Modeller article is just about ready, and I am off to take some photos for this article.
I hope to have it done and sent off by next weekend, so stay tuned...
The blog for Stepney Down and all my other future model railways

Update from A meet
Yesterday (Saturday 27th) I went to the Brentwood swapmeet.
Once there, I traded in 4 unwanted coaches (which I purchase for £2 quid off a club member and didn't want as they were totally different liveries) and got £15 quid for the four. Then, I gave that back with a tenner and purchased a Dean Goods locomotive so yay me.
Also while there, I found (wait for it...) ......
SOME BACKSCENES!!!!! After ages of looking, a stall was SELLING backscenes, so I bought 5 sheets for £6 (Maybe a bit pricey, but worth it after spending ages looking for them.)
If that wasn't good enough, a club member was giving away some old scrap wagons, and I grabbed a couple. So Stepney Down now has a couple of old break vans out and about, a smaller, empty coal saithe that will either be at the water tower, or near the station, and a grounded van eventually.
Here are some photos for you all ;) Backscene pics will be up when they are.
City Of Truo is also nearly done...

Photo Update
Some pictures to show the new platform lanterns, as well as the added paving to street houses and shops.
The layout is making its way there slowly...
Also shown is Clive's DMU, which is on temporary loan to the line.

Saturday 13th June 2009
Only a small amount done today, but the most in about a month.
Some holes have been drilled into the platforms for the new station lanterns, and platform number signs are being made to hang down from them...
