Hi everybody
I live in west wales and currently a member of pembrokeshire model engineers, i have 2 electric locos (08 shunter and class 37) and a GWR class 14xx having a rebuild. At the moment i am a third of the way through my GL 5 inch garden track and have built a couple of wagons but have been amazed at the level of detail that i have seen from your wagons etc, just bought Doug Hewsons book and realize i have a very long way to go. also hope to build some signals, any advice gratefully received. Thanks
Another new one

Hi Dave, We will be publishing our calendar for 2018 in the next few days, and hope there are some events that you will be able to attend and
meet a few fellow members. yes there are some some first class models of wagons amongst our members which have been scratch built, but also some
outstanding kits which are quite highly detailed to the type of wagon that Ben mentioned, we all try to keep to the GL5 standards which you will
possibly have seen here on our website
best wishes Peter Layfield
