I store layouts in a shed in my back garden – when I had a look on Monday the curtain over the large window had fallen down and direct sunshine was on some of the layouts! I put the curtain up again, but have no idea how long it had been down – the direct Sunlight heat must have been tremendous as when I checked the layouts two of them had a degree of track buckling and will need quite a lot of re-engineering.

Due to this happening, I am withdrawing all my layouts from Exhibitions for the rest of the year. This includes at least one that I was letting someone else take out – sorry but that’s life!

Now a little bit of good news – the two Exhibitions I had booked for Blythburgh and the O Gauge Meet up at Bury St Eds will be done by my Son with his layouts. Grubb Lane at Blythburgh and Ashwell Moor at O Gauge BSE. Thanks JB.

This was very upsetting especially after my ‘mould’ attack a couple of years ago. The shed is over 25 years old and needs an update and new roof or complete replacement.
