Seven members sat down to lunch at the Engineer on 18th July, joined afterwards by two more members. At first, reading matter was more in evidence than models. John Hutchins showed a book about Richborough Port and Chris Foren the July 2018 issue of Railway Bylines to which he had contributed. Tony Manktelow a 1933 issue of English Mechanics magazine with a photo of the first GWR diesel railcar on the cover and plans and photographs of a GWR G58 nondescript saloon which he hoped would be a future project. Tim Easter redressed the balance with an assortment of wagons all fitted with Lanarkshire Models cast buffers – a Parkside Grampus, a Clam from the same stable, an Airfix/Parkside hybrid 12 ton van and a Cambrian Catfish body fitted to a Heljan Dogfish underframe. Brian Webb brought a LBSC 6 wheel luggage van made from a D&S kit and Geoff Gauntlett a Bachmann 16T mineral weathered using Citadel products. The incidental discussion covered Facebook, marches, Kidderminster photo fair, ballasting, Billy Bragg and much, much more.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday 15th August aat the Engineer, St Johns Road, Harpenden AL5 1DJ, commencing at 7.30 pm.
