Enjoyed a day out today. I met up with Alan Crowther and his Guide Dog, Gabriel, and took the opportunity of an invite to take a few photo's on his lovely G1 1/32nd scale layout....

I just want to call out some seriously helpful people who, despite quite unrealistic deadlines, have pulled out all the stops to get product to us in advance of the G1MRA 75th Anniversary Show, and positioned us far in advance of where I expected us to be at this early stage in our development. So, without further ado, my heartfelt thanks go to:-

Meadow Castings - Matt
Fosworks - Steve
Railtec - Steve
Grainge & Hodder - Allen

There are some particularly helpful people in this industry. Thank you all for your support.

Ian.

We didn't have these on show at Bakewell, but the 20's (including the Scottish Tablet variant) will also be available soon.

Whilst I was unable to attend the G1N show today due to Covid in the household, it was Martin who held the fort at Bakewell, taking a number of our development models to showcase. A very enjoyable day was had, and only sorry that I was unable to attend.

Fishy goings on at Venturer Models as the Dogfish, Catfish and Shark are taking shape...

Extremely disappointed that I wasn't able to attend the Peterborough show today. Fortunately, Martin was able to get there, and fly our flag. Hoping for better luck with Bakewell in July!
Meanwhile, work on Westerns Queen (x2), Ranger and Consort progressed, and Gauge 3 Class 37 37116 COMET received her identity. The chassis tanks are being finished, as are the 1/32nd, G1 and G3 brass castings for the Class 37 kits.

Workshop painting and decal today. Railtec supported with the transfers and plates for D1040, and Phoenix and Halfords for the 37 which will be 116.
