February 2022 Meeting

We were few this month, although restrictons appeared to be easing, or maybe it was just February. Perhaps we had got too used to zoom!

Our conversation rambled around ideas for the future - over cups of tea, of course. There are three major issues that we are mostly thinking about; the first being that we are now few in regular numbers and would welcome anyone who would like to help us operate Lightermans Yard at exhibitions and at our monthly home meetings too. Secondly we would like to share our 2mm expertise by organising regular mini workshops to help members, old and new, develop their own layouts and contribute to a possible new collective layout. The third issue is the question of a new layout. Whilst we still have finishing touches to make to Lightermans Yard, there are ongoing projects to contribute to. This blog has previously touched on two layouts in progress; Evercreech Junction and Brixham. Planning and building a new layout will provide a new and exciting focus for the group.

February's discussion touched on thoughts around the provision of 'drop-in' wheel sets for Dapol diesel units. especially as the wheel turning service is currently not available. We may return to this later.

Apologies for the lack of illustrations for this entry. We will have more to say and see later in the spring!

 

Next meeting; 13 March
