The sun has come out, so out came the phone and I took a shot because by tomorrow evening it will be even dirtier.

The sun has now gone away again.

Don't know how that happened, it's OK in the phone.

I thought you were in Wigan Ray, not Australia!

Looks good! (when I stand on my head)



Some very nice shiny looking motors!

Got mine cleaned and threw a cover over it (don't have a garage unfortunately). Planning to take the cover off an hour or two before leaving tomorrow, if the rain stops for long enough.

Due to this Covid-19 stuff there are no model railway shows for me to attend this year.
BUT, this weekend a virtual model railway exhibition is being held and the first model to appear was something that reminded me of the 2015 Annual Meet in Snowdonia. We were based at King Geoge V Hotel at Penmaenpool.The promenade between the hotel and the estuary used to be part of the Cambrian Railway line.

I am attaching some photos of the model that might bring back a couple of nice memories for you.
