Yes you read it correctly, a chuffers event. It's the model railway show at the Harvey Hadden sports complex near Nottingham this weekend and I've been invited along for the 4th year running. It's a superb event for learing about building scenery, scratch building, painting and weathering, soldering and just about every technique you could mention. If anyone is in the area over the weekend, drop by and say hello. Here's one of the celebrities from last year ...

... it's young Paul Findon (fatty). Whatever you do, don't ask him about the steam generator he sealed into the funnel ... ::)

I'm sure that's Pete Waterman on the right. Don't know the other bloke though, although it does say Nick Allen on his t-shirt - clue??

Nick Allen, was that the Irish comedian ? ;D
Whatever you do, don't ask him about the steam generator he sealed into the funnel ...
sounds like a good idea, obviously wasn't ::)

At the time I converted it to house a smoke generator, a light in the front and a flickering light in the fire box.......
Well the smoke generator packed up and the flickering light in the smoke box packed up too........ I tried to fix the fire box lights but in the end I couldnt, which was a shame as i had added lots of brass detailing (scratched and kit).
In the end it ended in the spares box lol
