We had a great time, hoards of people, maybe a few new members.
Both Graham & I are totally stuffed, ran heaps of engines, Marvin put up a steriling effort on the temporary track system I built & I tried to run the prewar SC2, SE3 and SE4 all at the same time. First two ran OK but one of the exhaust ports on the SE4 was blocked so it wouldn't run, .
Sorry Sandy, no wild night on the Drambuie, just a couple of quiet reds for the blokes and some bubbly for Jilly and Alice.
Thanks G & J, a great time together, more later, I'm buggered, got to got to bed,
