On Saturday we at Hull MRS held an open day at our clubrooms. Any layout within the club seemed to be on display! Botanic Gardens was there of course and we moved downstairs in order to put it all up! This meant we could give some of the stock a run too!
One item which really seemed to love its chance to stretch its legs was Chris' NER E1 which is based around a Bachmann body and a Bill Bedford chassis kit - fold up in P4! It proved to be a very smooth and controllable loco.
The items on display hinted at what will be coming up; Adrian Gilliand's first building was in place just started to help give the layout a sense of place.
Perhaps also worth mentioning that Chris' station building won its class in the club's competition! Deservedly so I think! Chris' hoppers also won their class! And finally my P1 won both Best Steam in entry and overall for painting and weathering! Good show I think!
