Good maorning! I've just "arrived" after a vigorous walk with the dogs and hope to spend much of the rest of the day enjoying the show. What I've seen so far seems excellent.

Good morning, David, good evening, Doug!

I agree, there's a lot of good stuff at this Virtual Scaleforum. I'm currently watching Jeremy Suter demonstrate some live modelling (a Morgan Design wagon underframe) on his Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tyWF6oDnqQ

One thing about this show is - no complaints about the dreadful accessibility of the venue, lack of parking, distance from public transport.

Oh, and my feet aren't tired yet!

I'm looking forward to lunch. Avocado, smoked salmon and poached eggs on toast. Much improved this year over the usual sausage and chips. We must get these caterers for next years...

Cheers

Hi Carlos,

That sounds wonderful. I'm missing my work trips to Madrid. Hope that you and the boys are staying safe.

What's happening on the GER modelling front for you?

Take care
Paul

I imagine, but a bit rough in Madrid my brother told me...

The children are well, growing fast and happy at the school (while it last!)

No great advance, my E22 got a new Highlevel gearbox, improved it a lot, and now I was slowly working on the rest of the engine... then got a rest and built a POW, needed something more relaxing...

Thanks Tony - just off for a spot of virtual lunch, hope to talk to (or even see on Zoom) more of you this afternoon

I think I'll leave most of the layout-watching to this evening - beats Strictly by a long way, and I can have a real ale at the same time :D
