Model Rail Live is only weekend after next on Sat/Sun 22/23 September at Barrow Hill Roundhouse and daftly I'm taking Polbrock and Arne Wharf to the event so both layouts are currently set up to tinker with.

| Green drape used on all my layouts |
Arne Wharf which dates from 2003 is 'ready to go' and will be displayed at the same height as
Polbrock on the left, but Polbrock still needs another fiddle yard to make it operational. I've so far only finished the right hand one (read all about it in
Model Rail 175 out in 3 weeks or so), but still need to cobble the left hand one together. I also need to sort out the wiring in a more secure way than twisting bits of wire together to get it to work which is the current set up!
The trestles will be hidden behind a pleated dark green drape in the time honoured fashion, in fact it will use the same drape I use for all my layouts. And on that note I've just reminded myself that I'll need to get some more Velcro to attach it. Much like model shops, haberdashers are now few and far between, so I'll need a 30 mile round trip just to get that.
Enough from me, gotta go - looks like I've a few things to do........
Of course, if you paid attnetion while reading that UK's premier railway modelling blog, you'd know how to do this sort of thing on-line.

Trestles and green drapes! What was wrong with the ironing board?
