Wessex Association - Frome 4 & 5 Jan 2025

[Dad-1]

Nothing been put on here yet, obviously not many Wessex Association members.

Well, I shall be there with my "Thomas & Friends visit Bride Bay", a children drive layout.
Perhaps, only perhaps, my last 2 day exhibition. the Layout still looks fine, but it's me
that's finding it difficult to stand & talk for 2 days !!!

I will have there and run when suitable the Nucast 0-4-0 Steam Sentinel white metal kit
loco I bought here last year. I never expected to have it finished well within 12 months.

Alarm clock set up for a 6.20 morning call tomorrow
Exactly 50 miles from my house to the exhibition hall and heavy frost
with possible snow in the forecast so one doesn't want to be in a hurry !!
Slow & twisty roads between West Bay & Frome.

Usually only takes about half an hour to set-up, but if you chat too much
that can easily become an hour.

Doesn't look like the trader who sold me the Nu-Cast white metal Steam
Sentinel kit will be there - A shame as it'll be there and running on a few
occasions.
See the build in my Workbench Thread here :-

This year kept to the one main hall, so smaller.
The threatened weather didn't wreck things and something
like 900 adult's and 330 children's tickets issued.
"Thomas" had a heavy running session.
