Wnd of the day I think everything went well. One of the strangeat things was that in a garden of 110' x 45' the other nine people there made me feel positively claustrophobic!!!

As Ashley has stated elsewhere the ALD  class 25 model made its debut on the rails it is a good powerful performer although for obvious reasons I cannot comment on the sound but everyone else there said that the sound was very realistic. I received my -C- Janus kit from ALD whilst they were here. I have a desire to paint it as one of the ICI colour test vehicles but people might be slightly ill looking at it.

The best part of the day, (for me) was the fact that children could use the route setting control box with little or no instruction.

The next stage will be to install the hamlet, link up the Zero Volt sensing and then activate the "pump circuit" to the "think boxes".
