Thank you Invicta. Yes, I do attend local meetings when time permits.

Good luck.

Vestvagoy is the Norwegian. A pleasant read on rmweb
Thanks for the pointer Bazzer. I will check that out.

Option A gets my vote...

Sorry to hear of your change of plan, hope things look up soon.

Andrew.
Thank you Andrew. Whatever happens I won't be giving up my 16mm modelling.

It would be nice for us to meet up again soon mate, maybe you and I could work together on a board for the little exhibition I am hoping to hold in the near future.

But for now keep doing what you are doing Ian….. :thumbright:
Thanks Rod. On the bright side I haven't had to dismantle my railway or move house. I do visit other lines and if I build a modular board, or boards, I can attend exhibitions too and promote the hobby. I can work with you on a small budget type layout as a separate project.
