2023 stuff.

 2023 stuff.....

Well, 2023 was a busy year for exhibitions...for us, anyway.  Our layouts were shown 14 times - 8 with "Raven Hill", 3 with "Pye Rigg Works", and 3 with our 009 layout "Shortwaite Hill".  I am surprised that, although quite a lot of stock was built up to December 2022, only six models were built this year, 3 locos, a 4-wheel coach, a tank wagon and a large van.

New layout ideas keep buzzing around in my mind, but if any were actually built there would be no room to store them.

And just recently, after four years, my first 7mm scale diorama, built in a drawer, was actually named. "Drawley", a pun on "drawer" and "Lee" (the chaps name who gave it to me).
