The Basingstoke and North Hants Model Railway Society are holding their 2010 Exhibition this coming weekend, 13-14 March.
The L&BRT Thames Valley Group will be manning a stand there, so please introduce yourselves when you visit.
Also appearing is "County Gate" - John de Frayssinet’s award-winning model layout depicting the (fictional) "Minehead extension".
Taking advantage of the railway being closed to the public for a few days, work continued on the drainage ditch across the goods yard area by the concrete stable and the original Gents.
The main job today for the gang was to mix concrete and cement in to secure a ducting pipe across in front of the pedestrian gate. SR bogie open No.28320 with aggregate bags and cement on board was positioned nearby in the loading dock. The gang working as a team mixed cement to wheelbarrow across to the ditch to fix the piping in place.
