Today was the first day of the Wirksworth show. Not a big show, but a friendly one. Plenty of layouts there, though no real blockbusters.
"Parnhams" has been running well apart from a dead section in road 8 of the fiddleyard- I think I've worked out a fix and hope Trevor has his soldering iron with him. We've had a lot of very positive comments and two more invitations to exhibitions. I don't know if there are any awards attached to the show, but here's hoping......
Of the locos Trev's J11 just doesn't want to run at all. I'm going to take a spare mechanism with me to see if that is the fault. I've had one failure of a UM- my G2 has split a gear and I've swapped the mechanism with a loco from the "yet to do" pile- that one can go back to UM for a repair.
Of the Farish mechanisms, the Jubilee has a broken drawbar and the L3 doesn't want to stay on the track. Apart from these everything is running well, though we need to keep on top of track and wheel cleaning.
