Yet another outing for the portable track team, this time to Saxilby Family Fun Day. And we certainly had a fun, busy day giving rides from 12pm to 5pm with hardly a break. Mel brought her 5" Class 58 which we ran alongside the Hymek so Jim and Simon took turns on the former as well as the latter. A nice flat piece of ground for us to lay the track without too much levelling to do.

Last weekend we took the portable track to Heckington Show as we do every year. The weather was kind and our miniature railway proved as popular as ever with the public - especially the little ones (but funny how the Dads always insist on them having a ride as well). But the recent dry spell took its toll and the surface on which we had to lay the track was the worst in living memory. Constant attention had to be given to packing and levelling as the "ploughed field" proved to be far from ideal.

A busy weekend with running at the North Scarle Summer Fayre (seems to have been a great success) on Saturday followed by the regular car boot sale on Sunday. No wonder I was too tired to go to the pub on Sunday evening!
And next weekend we have two full days at the Heckington Show. Stand by for a repeat performance!

Not every railway model engineer chooses to build a locomotive. With Colin Parkers 7.25" wagons in the centre, we have each side a display of Terry Peacock's superb 5" trucks which he has built over the years and of which he is rightly proud.

CAN IT GET ANY BETTER?
What a fantastic weekend for our miniature railway! On Saturday we took the portable track to Waddington Summer Fair and by the end the team were out on their feet having run a service for the visitors non stop from noon until 5.30pm. Then after a nights sleep we regrouped at Scarle to support the car boot sale - another busy morning for us all.
And next week Sunday promises to be full on again. There's no car boot but the portable track crew will be running at the Skellingthorpe Gala during the afternoon.
Pictured are Jim Bailey with his Simplex "Alacrity" whilst Alex Searl waits to take over with Mr Hymek.
