BOLTON 23

Yesterday the SIG went to Bolton for the first show of the year. Huw, David, Tim, Emma and yours Truly had a great day. The venue is vast and somewhat intimidating in terms of 'How the heck do we get all our stuff in here' (remote car parks - long walks - stairs - more long walks .......repeat five ...

Re: C141

Nice job Huw....That camo I always thought rather suited the Starlifter. If memory serves it was called 'European One' or 'Lizard' (doubtless our colour correspondent can confirm - in my head I seem to think there were variations in the shade of grey, or indeed, gray)(Szorta Gray?) Somewhere I have ...

Re: N'Tastic Scale Models - NEW Road Vehicles - Military Vehicles

Ref the runway caravan I will have one built up ASAP but meanwhile have tracked down some reference material (which was proving hard to find) Seems that Breighton airfield obtained their control tower by acquiring one of these and simply chucking away the truck. The caravan bit was then mounted on s...

Lincoln (nee 'Newark') 23rd Oct 22

Completely new venue and very different from the Racecourse at Southwell. Typical school hall (long way from car park to models in the rain!) but we had a great day. Sadly Tim and Emma couldn't make it at the last minute but David Shaw arrived to our delight - it was really good to see him and as ev...

Re: International N Gauge Show 10/11 Sept 2022

Hi Richard Re your control caravan I've been scratching around for reference material without much success.......and then a light came on. There is an example of the control cabin bit perfectly preserved and currently in use not far away - I just hadn't made the connection. Will get some detailed ph...

St Ives Sept 22

Two weekends running! Once more the famous three sallied forth (or possibly fifth - we are old) this time to Brampton's excellent St Ives show. Compared to last week we had a little more space but a completely different corner layout. We also tried to ring the changes a bit with our displays, I got ...
