A tour of this years N gauge show - I particularly enjoyed the Kato circus modular layout. So much imagination in each piece. We had to vote for our favourite, and I chose the berry above, but only just. Unaccountably, I didn't photograph the Brio railway crossing.
On the Gaugemaster stand, there was more Kato, with some really interesting tramcars, including a modern city scene made up of ready made track modules, and plstic kit buildings. It represented Japan, but with a small amount of work, could be Anglicised easily enough. OK, the modules aren't cheap, but nicely modelled inlaid track isn't going to be.
My club has been working with a primary school on some Kato-style modules, and they had a terrific display. The kids have been making rolling stock to run on their layout. I'm told the wagon below features Taylor Swift.
With my work hat on, I've got four layouts to talk to about photo shoots in the future, and with my colleague Steven, we recorded several very interesting chats, which will appear on the website over time (he's got a lot of editing to do!). There is also a small pile of projects, which will appear in BRM eventually.
And the cake was excellent.
A good day out.
