To Derbyshire for the model tram event. Not a huge show, but with a few memorable moments.
The first were the illuminated 4mm scale trams on Leyburn Avenue. Truly spectacular models, the larger ones with over 1000 tiny LEDs fitted. I've always fancied building the Rocket, but it would be a challenge to do it better than this.
Next, we have the late Robert Whetstones collection of 3/4 inch trams. These don't see action very often so it was a privilege to watch then trundle up and down the test track. I've always loved this scale of tram since seeing a superb model over 30 years ago. Working this big, everything can be built in the same way as the prototype, and it shows.
Finally, no cake this time, but lunch was the most delicious local steak pie with mushy peas and seriously roasted potatoes. The Tramway Museum cafe comes up trumps again!
