Swinging duo measure camber angle (some people have a different name for it, but it confuses cockneys) with new swingometer on Wednesday. Results have shown up some minor undesirables which we will fix soon. Just to put things in perspective, Richard's boys worked hard and renewed two support beams on Tuesday and one the week before - well done to them. |

After a gap of 4 years, the NSME stand at MMEE2024. We built the stand in the morning and members brought their models for display in the afternoon. The erection team posing. All smiling at once! Regret Alan was shy and not available for photographs - he transported the stand hardware in his van. A sign of the times, or at least our times - we now have seats by popular request. Always good to see the exhibition build on the day. Something which takes most of a day to build, gets demolished in half an hour on Sunday at 4pm |

John K is the project leader and you can register an interest in exhibiting a model or being a stand attendant by contacting him now on john.kneeshaw@nsme.co.uk |

Howard has rebuilt the club Simplex locomotive with the recently acquired new boiler. The concept of getting an identical boiler, having provided the old one as a pattern, didn't quite work out but Howard overcame the shortcomings to complete what looks like a fine job. I am sure you will want to thank Howard when you next meet. The pictures were taken yesterday when we steamed up the loco on test in preparation for certification in the next 2 weeks or so. |

Surprisingly, we are half way through the 2024 running season. Signal checks and switch maintenance are therefore due and were done on Friday last. Somehow they seem lower than they used to be perhaps? |
